Wow, that's alot of stuff crammed in there. That really turned out nice. What's the run time with all those batteries?

Thanks for the comments on the D8R guys. BIG DAY TODAY ! Finally had some heat and sun to go out in the back yard and do some work. Started off building road to areas where there were weeds to remove, hope to haul them out soon...

Great video. I can't wait to see the D8R with the ripper down tearing up the lawn to make room for more roads

Thanks for the comments, it's a good time working in the garden, hope the weather warms up soon so I can get back out there. Had another SNOW shower go through yesterday... Its April, I am ready for some warm weather...
I use Sabertooth speed controls, there is a few tricks with them but generally they work well..

Hey Greg, Nice job on the D8. I'm curious, how thick are the side plate's on the main frame. I'm trying to decide if 1/8'' aluminum is thick enough? Working on resurecting my
1-7.5 Cat D4H project. I like your choice of drive motor's, I think I'll try some.
Thank's, Neil#2 aka doodlebug

Thanks Neil I was very happy with the results of the D8R. I use 3/16 or 1/4 on the side frames as that is the main structure to the whole model, also it is nice to be able to counter sink your bolts on the side's of the machine as that is the angle that is in view the most..

cheers

Welcome Evan

Greg, I'm gone a couple months and you've done it again. You build something every two months. The dozer turned out great, but I would like to see some more video of it working.

[doodlebug]

Hey Greg, I'm confused on the batterie's? 18 volt for 12 volt drive motor's, is that because of the esc's? I'm guessing the drive motor's aren't run wide open all the time?
I'm getting part's gathered for the D4H project.
Thank's, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.
