He is at it again! 1:50 Dozer Conversion

just a thought, wouldnt the foam take alot of power to turn the track? on my 450 case with street pads there are holes on top of where the sprocket tooth would be allowing the tooth to just push the dirt out .. Not sure i you want small holes in your track or if it would even help in that scale. Just throwing an idea out there. i looked at the first tracks pics you posted and it looks like the track frame covers most of the track on ground but i couldnt see if dirt falls from the top of track to the gap from the track frame to the sprocket? my case has a removible rail cleaner, it just a piece of hardened steel that sheers off the bigger pieces. hope you get it going.

Thanks John. I was going to edit the post and ask for other ideas.

I like the thru hole idea, make sense. I'll have to look at them to see.how that might go.

I have some low density foam that I thought would crush real easy as it turns thru the sprockets. I have just enough wear on them now that the tension would not be that much. I think it would be hard to keep it in place..

Cool, that is what I was thinking.

I'm still trying different motor and battery combinations. With the speed controllers I can easily fit two 500 - 3 cell lips under the hood. I hope the ESC's don't smoke
