SLIDE SHOW - 1/12 RC Dozer build pics and changes made along the way ( Many of the parts for this dozer have been cut on a waterjet table ) www.rctruckandconstruction.com
What a GREAT MACHINE you built !!! My son works at a small machine building company with 10 Solid Edge work stations. They will let me have weekends to work on my projects using Solid Works.. Sure beats my AutoCad days! My current build is a 1/5 scale Sherman Tank for my grandson to drive in.
Thanks glad you like it......and yes waterjet cutting has it's advantages...all you need to do is "simply" create the proper cad files and you are on your way...I think what I did is try and make all the wrong ones first...LOL...finding out what doesn't work tends to help point you in the right direction, not always but it does help!! LOL Sharing ideas is what it's about......nothing special about this build, many of the ideas I used came by watching and learning from others!!
Hi 65peterbilt , thanks for the comment. If you watch all my vids and read the comments you should find the info you need on the motors. In time I may create a kit of some sort...maybe...time will tell....
Awesome job! I need that waterjet for the next build....def makes nice cuts! Your build gave me some ideals for the next one also! Dozer guys stick together!
Thanks Cody...you get to see all the good parts in the video...there are many parts that had too be made a number of times in order to get them right or at least almost right...LOL...if you look at all my videos and read the comments you should get all the info you may need....it weighs about 95lbs....thanks again glad you like it!!
Thanks....glad to hear that the pics have been helpful...the original design used a large servo, and yes the springs help balance the weight of the blade...but the servo I used did not last long....it now has small linear actuators on it....and so far they are working.... I got the servo lift and spring idea from this video... " RC Dozer Guts" by bubbaseth1....it is a great idea !
DADSGARAGE FMAB have you ever experienced with other types of batteries? Just building a 1/12th scale d11 same motors is 105 pounds with blade wanting better run time Live by Humboldt
Thanks Charles....and yes I had to paint it...we did use it unpainted for a long time (having too much fun) but finally it just had to be done....my favourite pic after paint is at 3:25...nice new paint...funny looking solid yellow mass....LOL....really needed some details at that point !! Only the L16 actuators are controlling the blade...originally I tryed using a 1/4 scale servo to control the blade but eventually it failed.
Time aps are OK at least there is a few pictures! Enough to show how it went together at least. What's the random question? It will be good to see you on there. What's the next build?
I see the LH is on back order for a while...you could use the same motor on both sides , providing you have the space.....it just doesn't look as clean.....best is one LH and one RH, that way it looks the same on both sides. I bought the attachment chain with two holes per attachment , I'm using single hole on my new tracks that I installed last week....made a set that are just a straight lug and a little taller at .350" # 40 K1 attachment chain every second link single hole GOOD TO GO
I'm not sure I understand your question on the track plates..?? The small plates are attached to the chain , you can buy this chain with them installed search for " K1 or K2 attachment chain " it is costly !! The small space between the track pads is not a problem...there is about .030" gap...yes some small stones can get between the pads but it has never really caused any problems...a root or branch is a problem and I have had some jam a track...a change of direction and the jam is fixed
Best place is at bearing supplier...BC bearing , Commercial Solutions is where I got mine...the chain is made by "TSUBAKI" it is pricey !! Search the web for" K1 attachment chain " you may find a different supplier for the chain , I bought a 15ft length but I only needed 3.5ft for each track 7ft total (I wanted some extra)...remember #40 K1 attachment both sides , one hole , every second link. Be sure to make the track pads under 1" long to allow clearance (mine are .970" long 3" wide)
здравствуйте , мне понравилась ваша работа. Если не секрет, а какую вы использовали электронику? Перечислите название применяемой электроники и ее схемы? И где я могу их приобрести? Спасибо.
I made a bigger drive sprocket for pushing snow....original was 18T and the larger one is 20T....just a little faster....my kids said it was to slow...LOL....I'm now using a 15T drive which give me a bit more power and the battery lasts a little longer pushing dirt with the new 21" wide blade...
I have a few questions: If I saw correctly, the track plates have smaller side plates attached, so the chain fits between those side plates? and the bolts go through those plates and chains? Since the track plates don't overlap, do you get rock and debris stuck between them? Especially over the idler wheels where they are most spaced apart?
Very nice video, quite useful. Is the blade lift servo special? Springs are to balance the blade? Still working good that way? I'm gona try that approach on a 1:50 conversion.
Thanks.....sorry there are a few " time gaps" between some of the build pics....."someone".... forgot to take more pictures...LOL... I will join the forum in time....as long as I can answer the random question...???
Good Morning what is the model Firgelli L16, R or S? Actuator Stroke 50? 100? 140? and Gear Ratio 35: 1? 63: 1? 150: 1? for the blade and ripper? ? I live in France and I would not be wrong because "postage" very expensive;-) thank you in advance. The L16 Firgelli are powerful enough for my dozer will weigh 90 lbs? lowering the blade and ripper dozer is what is raised?
The next build is ummm this one....LOL....shortly after the "pushing dirt" videos I started working on a more realistic looking "U" blade design ( the blade alone has been a "build" ) the simple flat test blade had to go...the new blade is still a work in progress.
Good morning, congratulations on your work, I wonder if possible, what the engine brand that you used in your progeto'm executondo similar work and I am in doubt that motor usar.Desculpe by the English because I am using the translator. Thank you.
Holy crap!!! Talk about skill. It's one thing to put stuff together. It's another to make them. Awesome work. Beautiful workmanship!!!!
What a GREAT MACHINE you built !!! My son works at a small machine building company with 10 Solid Edge work stations. They will let me have weekends to work on my projects using Solid Works.. Sure beats my AutoCad days! My current build is a 1/5 scale Sherman Tank for my grandson to drive in.
Very well done. I particularly like the ingenious way how you rigged the servo to the rocker switch. Thumbs up from me.
Thanks glad you like it......and yes waterjet cutting has it's advantages...all you need to do is "simply" create the proper cad files and you are on your way...I think what I did is try and make all the wrong ones first...LOL...finding out what doesn't work tends to help point you in the right direction, not always but it does help!!

Man that is one hell of a dozer u built.
Thanks Charles....and yes I had to paint it...we did use it unpainted for a long time (having too much fun) but finally it just had to be done....my favourite pic after paint is at 3:25...nice new paint...funny looking solid yellow mass....LOL....really needed some details at that point !!

Mad fabrication skills! Wow!
Thanks.....glad you like it !!
Very nice job! Thanks for the build photos. It would be nice to see you on the rctruckandconstruction forum!
right on. just makes you want to go right out there and build one. but what all ways looks easy, is not all ways the case....
Time aps are OK at least there is a few pictures! Enough to show how it went together at least. What's the random question? It will be good to see you on there. What's the next build?

Great job. U have it spot on

Super clean awesome build!

Beautiful Dozer build. Where did you find the kit. Drivemotors, electronics ect?
nice work... awesome... I plan to build one. .. btw... what kind of chain do you use? what type and size?...
I like all of your clips wish I had more lnfo on the dozer
здравствуйте , мне понравилась ваша работа. Если не секрет, а какую вы использовали электронику? Перечислите название применяемой электроники и ее схемы? И где я могу их приобрести? Спасибо.
Hello, very nice construction, what did you use as a transmission motor?
Very nice dozer
I made a bigger drive sprocket for pushing snow....original was 18T and the larger one is 20T....just a little faster....my kids said it was to slow...LOL....I'm now using a 15T drive which give me a bit more power and the battery lasts a little longer pushing dirt with the new 21" wide blade...

I see the linear lift servos at toward the end. What was the trouble with the drive sprockets? Boy that thing is big!
Very nice video, quite useful. Is the blade lift servo special? Springs are to balance the blade? Still working good that way? I'm gona try that approach on a 1:50 conversion.
What type of actuators did you use and what did you get those. Really awesome looking Dozer
excellent work! I really liked it, I would imagine a toy :) did not consider how much it all cost?
what type of chain did you use for the tracks ,what motors and motor controller?
Incredibly cool machine, I commend you on your ability to build one. What is it's weight ?
What moto to use sir
Great stuff!
What do you switch with the rocker switch t 4:23 ?
Thanks.....sorry there are a few " time gaps" between some of the build pics....."someone".... forgot to take more pictures...LOL...
I will join the forum in time....as long as I can answer the random question...???
Hi i need the dimensiond and size i need copy you desing me kiddos craying for one bulldozer same You. plz plz send the copy for build one tnkz
👏👏
Thanks !!!

What gage of steel is the main body how tall is it from the hood to the bottom of the body
Good morning, congratulations on your work, I wonder if possible, what the engine brand that you used in your progeto'm executondo similar work and I am in doubt that motor usar.Desculpe by the English because I am using the translator.
Thank you.
