Jim, glad to see you are still working on this project. It's pretty amazing what you've been able to accomplish with such a small model. Those little motors sure sound strong and the dozer seems to have some good power, despite the small size. Very impressive.

Default Re: He is at it again! 1:50 Dozer Conversion

SP,

You do realize I changed horses mid-stream? My current dozer is not the first one in this thread. I started out on a 1:50 and sort of gave up on that due to no room to hide the RX, battery, or install a blade lift servo.

The one I'm working on now is 1:16. If I could change the title of the thread I would, I don't like to mislead anyone. I should've started a new thread when I bought the new, bigger dozer.

Jim

Default New appreciation for scratch tracks

I have more appreciation for you guys scratch building anything, after working on these track for two days! Holy crap there are a lot of pieces there!



Got the new 1000:1 motors and tried one! If it doesn't try to kill itself or the dozer it should be great.

Jim
