Cooper-that is a nice video. You have done a great job in a short amount of time. I am not putting your model down but I must say with that HUGE BLADE on there, you cannot push even a half-blade of dirt without the tracks spinning. Is the model too light? What does it weigh? Maybe you need about 10-20lbs. of ballast. (just guessing). Have you watched D9 joe's videos. I think he is the best operator I have seen and I believe it was he who mentioned something that may be helpful. It looks like dirt is sticking to your blade so the suggestion was to sand the gloss off the paint to make the blade slippery and get the dirt rolling up the blade and falling forward. This might help push more dirt. You could just wear the paint off but that will take a long time so I would probably try the sanding.The model looks great and you should be very proud and I am sure with time you will work everything out.
