Did you put a speaker at each end Lou? That would be cool.

I watched closely as you turned very sharp either way, didn't seem to push the front end around at all, if it were gonna happen anywhere it would've been on solid ground.

I can't help thinking that you should've made have the bigger model 657, that bowl looks too small.

T-n-T Lou-the model looks fantastic and I'm guessing it will work great also. I saw what Joe said about the small box but being only a 2-wheel drive this may be all the load it can handle. I'm sure you are anxious to get it in the dirt and I will be watching. Great job!!

It has motors on both ends. Watch the video close and you will see one rear tire spinning like crazy when Lou has it hard over.

Thanks Jarett ..Reg Tom and Joe ..Joe I was thinking the same thing ..Go bigger or go get more machines lol ..So far It seems to be working quite well with no pushing ..see what happens in softer material with a good load ..Lots of power Tom and Yes Reg is correct ..should of posted a few of the gear motor setup i have going on in the rear ..Yes I remember about you mentioning about your eyesight ..Mine aint real good either lol ..hope I can still carry on with the model building for a long time tho ..I am sure you are missing that aspect ..Reg yes I did install a speaker in the rear ..Using those nifty princess auto set you sent me ..great little speakers and keep your eye out for more hey ..and thanks ..took a while to fit the wire in the sidearm covers but they worked ..
I have be adding more detail and the list is getting shorter ..Made up a reclining seat the other day ..Adjustable headrest ..be good for when the operator wants a nap ..lol

T-n-T-Lou-I really do miss the building but that's just the way it is. I went back over your thread and found the pictures of the rear diff. Guess my brain aint working to good these days either. Great work on the model and looking forward to videos.

we had the dozer pushing for a bit Joe and the material was still a bit too wet and bunching in front ..when ejecting it would sometimes pack in front and not totally come out ..im sure if it dried out some it would work much much better ..we were loading on its own for a while and were coming up with near full bowls with about a 1 minute turn around ..takes a bit to get use to it ..greg pretty much nailed it rigt away and after about 5 -6 passes i was getting better at it .I had blown a hydraulic hose at the indoor CR show so i had the pump turned down a bit so i am going to do some more adjustments .i have a bunch more video i have to edit and load soon ..so stay tuned ..that was a test on the steep hill ..I have the same vid just loaded on facebook without youtube and it is going viral ..already over 10,000 views ..holy crap ..wish youtube would do that
