Default Eagle dozer question

Hey as some of you know I bought a rc4wd dozer on there black Friday sale. I am wondering what are some things I should keep a eye on for? I know about the dozer pins and to check all fasteners. Is there anything else a person should check out?

The breathe tube off the hydro tank leaks like a sieve if your operating at a decent side angle or roll the sucker. I replaced the tubing with a pressure relief valve such as found on the 4200XL. You'll have to grind the tank cover a bit. Fill tube is on left and overfill is on right looking from back of dozer. Also if your planning on running lights this would be a good time to run the rear lights.

No the hose just sits in the sponson, so if it does spill out the tube it goes everywhere. I got my decals from a member on here. Believe he had a buddy make them. His handle on the forum is Papy. Pm him. It's a bit of work to get the tank cover off. Once you remove the cab do your self a favor and remove the tracks cause you have to access small coutersunk screws under the fender above the sprocket to get it off.

Ok got my dozer home from my local hobby shop. The pins just tap then out with a punch? It was painfully slow to fill oil in it must be the hose or somthing. I wanna take it apart and take a look at everything put it looks good so far.

Yea I use a punch. Watch as your filling the tank. You can just keep filling the sucker and it'll pour out that crappy "relief" tube, then you'll have oil dripping through the sponson/fender.
