"Maybe in the future we'll have fleets of little mini bulldozers cleaning the trash our cities". Wall-E really did predict the future.
The homeless living in their tents: 💀
Dude! I'd watch Wall-E bulldoze the homeless. Great idea!
or they might outsource police forces to Waymo... X"D
I came here to say this!

I am very impressed by the amount of product placement done in this video
How many sponsors do you want?
- … yes.
get that sponsorblock
@@Voyajer.revanced ftw
hey, the kid's trying to get through college... I wish I had some sponsors for that back in the day...
@@Voyajer. I'm so happy that I didn't need to submit it
I know we were supposed to ponder the question of why the market for this mini-bulldozer exists, but after watching this video I think I am that market
I strongly suggest reading up on the 1/14 scale rc machine hobby/market. It's simply amazing (if you understand it)
Yeah. When he was saying it would take all day to clean up leaves in a small yard with it, I thought hell, that and some beers sounds like a pretty relaxing day off ngl
I have to admit that I would love to have one too, but I think I'd enjoy it more if I built it from scratch myself. I'd definitely improve the treads, because popping off like that is no bueno, but the saw blade modification sounds like a great idea. And of course that flail mower seems like another great idea. A mini remote controlled flail mower bulldozer toy, spectacular.

"SHUT IT WOMEN AND WATCH THE LITTLE THING COOK!!!!"
@@akoshorvath-risko5838yeah highly functional detailed modeling exists for almost everything. I like the RC tractor trailers personally.
It may be more like a toe-cutter or insect and squirrel killer than a lawnmower
Squirrels too squirrelly, good luck getting them
Squirrels will be ok, I was thinking hedgehogs but that a European thing I hear
should name it the ankle biter
any squirrel or bug that gets caught by that is already dead.
If it then goes on a murderous rampage would that make it s Squirrial Killer? (I will see myself out)
inwards rotation may cause more problems, but you gotta admit it's fun watching stuff get sucked in, then launched into space by the scoop behind the blades
Felt like I needed eye and ear protection just watching it. Great work and entertaining content composition. Thank you.
and a Kevlar vest...
“Honey i shrunk the dozer”
I like how daniel was like "Okay this thing didn't work like i wanted, how can i make it dangerous"
This would be great in the desert where I live. I would have to brush cut everything with full scale equipment to start but then could use this for maintenance regularly scrapping the surface to keep sprouting brush and weeds from taking hold.
Equipment operator here, that mini dozer is amazing. I know you think it's performance is underwhelming, but if you keep the scale in context, it's doing exactly the same amount of work as a full sized D6. Even in the big ones, you can't just dig that deep in hard soil, even the big ones get stuck. Exactly what this little thing was doing is how the big ones handle it, little by little. When you took it to the gravel heap and it collected half a blade in the first push and kept rolling it, you'd be surprised how easily that exact same scenario will make a 25 ton D6 skate like it's on ice. That little thing is cool as hell, but I can't justify paying that much for it, yeah I want my kid to be as obsessed with machinery as I am, but I just grew up around mechanics and machinery, my kids can do the same, they don't need ridiculously expensive toys to fall in love with machinery, but it is extremely cool and I do wish I was in a financial position where I could buy stuff like this and not think about the price.
Tanks with loose track pins have a keeper, a ramp or angled piece that pushes all the pins that moved back in. It was located at the top front where the body or skirts start. This is an intentional design to have them free and they didn't move much in one rotation anyway. Simple rod design, they didn't even knurl the ends.
Do they have this om both sides of the track? Or do the pins only move one way?
@@guatf1they just move one way, with the head of the pin pointed to the tank
Well, congratulations, didn't you just made miniaturized killdozer? 😂
That’s is what I was going to say😭
I was thinking this too. Long live Marvin Heemeyers memory. 🫡💪🏻🇺🇸🦅
Perfect toy for children ages 3-5 years old
maybe more like 30-35?
for your metal shop: There are mini lathe. They aren't cheap but they work, don't take up a ton of space and incredible fun to learn on.
Dude, you have not seen "UA-cam GOLD".. or you would know what those dozers are for. They are very powerful.. lots of torque
I’ve been watching you since I’ve been a little kid
Where do you get the bulldozer?
Thanks for this comment! I just started today your gold series, having a blast, love it!
Just as an Fyi even the big tree cutters tend to use a single large blade justfor the same reason you found, duel blades when cutting towards each other tends to just cause them to bite in and cause both blades to jam.
“Duel blades” would be if this were used for battle bots.
Theres some guy building an armored komatsu in his barn, watching this and thinking "thats a good idea..."
8:01 use the T-34 strategy. Put the wider end of the pins facing inward, and weld a wedge to each side of the hull. The wedge will hammer the pins back in for you as you drive.
Did you learn that from Lindybeige too? Lol
Having only seen the thumbnail so far, this could figuratively never go wrong.
"Bored males with disposable income" 😂 No truer statement has been made.
I’d love to see you make a snowblower attachment for the dozer.
I guess a ground-effect dozer would make the traction problem worse...
People have done that with g scale model trains in their garden recreating the Rotary Snowplow they use in Donner Pass California.
That thing is adorable and impressive. Minus the weird controls, those /are/ odd, but I guess they went with a "cheap" remote and just went with tank controls and whatever was left after. I wonder how much effort it would be to change the controls to single stick for moving and steering, leaving the other for motion only.
And regarding the tracks being the weakest point of the mini dozer: I wonder how that Tracked RC 'Platform' would do with those blades.
That thing has more 'aggressive' tracks, which might avoid the issues that the mini dozer has.
Either way, a really impressive "do not try at home" RC mower 👍
Someone not really used to RC designed which control did what.
Computer mix tracks to one stick with a side button to stop one track if you want to pivot around it (which is a bad idea with those tracks)
Then main blade OR rear plow on the other stick, Simple computer mix and a switch to swap. The blade angling on the side levers.
The controls become almost intuitive rather than something you have to practice for hours to get used to.
some of this can easily be done with the simple transmitter that probably comes with the unit, but I'd request a transmitter and receiver delete, since I already have a really good 18 channel computer radio.
While it looks better with the metal tracks they should have done rubber track. Based on a "cogged" V-belt, it would last for years.
Your engineering and design prowess never ceases to amaze me!!
This dude hates yardwork so much he taught himself to build an army of small machines to do it for him.
I understand him deeply.
Don’t push this reasonable man to do unreasonable things.
the slow mo b roll shots with the out of place pop edm are *chef's kiss*
> its job is to entertain bored males with disposable income
He said the quiet part out loud
for a flail mower to cut non-wood foliage, I've seen barrels with just steel chains mounted on them, each only a few links long. I think you could safely mount one to scale inside the bulldozer bucket. It wouldn't need much metal work either, because you can use the existing bucket, and just plow forward into the herbs. Find a thin but strong steel chain, maybe 4mm wire thickness on the links, 4-5 links long, and just screw the first link to the barrel in the right direction and stagger them around the barrel so that every area gets hit by chain... If you make a continuous spiral, it could (should) also propel the mulch sideways or at least to one end of the bucket.
12:24 I’m impressed you still have marks of the scaled rc car endurance tests. It was a long time ago.
i was looking for this comment, surprised i didn't see more of these
It's kinda cool to see that your yard still hasn't recovered from the RC 100,000 scale miles test
make it into a killdozer
it is one
makes sense, it’s not like he just did that
I'm sure it would have made some very cool video footage if you had put a small camera in the cab. The GoPro 360 Go 3 would certainly fit in. ;) I kept imagining what the weeds would look like if they were 14x bigger and thicker.
Petition to make a armoured rc bulldozer
2 things, if your cutting lawn, switch to lawn mower cable? If your cutting woody weeds, angle the blades downward slightly so the stumps dont rub against the inner part of the blades.
I know this was never meant to be commercial, but seems like an easy win. Love your vids!
Surprised you didn't start with brush cutting blades (some of which are pretty similar to saw blades).
Seems you could also use a miniature version of the 'spear cage' referenced at 4:21
Imagine how terrifying this would be full scale...
Yeah, if this mutated to The killdozer II I think the airforce would go "aight, you go sleep in piece...s". Last time there was some issues in the "dealing with it". (Well, fuck with a guys life enough and you'll get the blunt but hardened end of it)
@@PaxmaxKilldozer was a fucking hero
@@MidoriOfTheShuinsen Yes and also an antihero at same time... complex situation, but mostly, it goes to show; don't Fuck Around with men that way they did to Marvin, or they'll Find Out.
This was actually amazingly useful. You don’t have to walk around you just sit and mow your lawn if I wasn’t so poor and stupid I would make one.
They have riding mowers that allow you to sit and mow your lawn, and they work better than this mower.
Also, people often don't know how to repair them, so you can get them for scrap prices or even free.
@@the_mowron I meant this is was is way cheaper you can sit somewhere more comfortable than a riding mower and I know it’s not as affective but it’s still cool
I`d love to see a vid of you building your own (and hopefully superior) set of tracks
i really like your crazy ideas ... maybe you can start a battle between this one and the laser lawn mower ^^
Imagine those construction dudes coming back to their site the next day and seeing super small bulldozer tracks lol
BRO I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS YOUR IDEAS ARE SO GOOD WATCHING THIS VID RIGHT NOW KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
OMG this is wicked!!! :)) Imagine if we scaled it up to the real deal.
Many of the new skid steers can be equipped with remote control for working in tight quarters where seeing all around the machine is beneficial. SUPER cool stuff.
go one step up ! ... they cut tree clearance with saw blades mounted under a helicopter search "helicopter tree sawing" ;)
@aserta
Completely OT: I think I've seen you around posting on the same videos I watch for well over a decade. Just a weird observation. (weird in the sense that consistency isn't something I expect on the internet 😉)
@rctestflight Just a heads up, you should avoid using RC mowers in the evening or night because hedgehogs don't not move or run from threats, they ball up.
I'm pretty sure hedgehogs are not native to the US and are illegal in several states
I don't think we have hedgehogs in Seattle where he lives
@@eylookvulheimiik7538you are correct. They don’t live in North America.
Today I learned there are no hedgehogs in America 🦔 :(
@ConnorRoss I never really thought about there being places that just have hedgehogs and now I need to visit those places to find the hedgehogs
Kinda cool. I've been thinking of doing something like this with my rer snapper. I've got enough spindles and pulleys laying around. and some straight wall barrels to make a shroud if needed.
You could take that rc toy and make a radio controlled rear engine riding snapper. pretty easy.
That's such a cool little RC Bulldozer
Please please make a version with super traction. Like 200lbs and big growser bars!
To hold those pins in place use green locktite, also known as "fixing compound" if you want them to stay in.
the issue of the tracks coming off easily are also an issue on full size dozers so its not just because its a scale model. also there might be a way to tension the tracks a bit more so they don't come off all the time.
Comgrow has been quite good to me so far. Awesome that they're sponsoring this video.
I love that the circle from the long term rc car test is still in your garden
I love watching big brush cutters in action. Some of those rotating cylinders just have lengths of chain hanging all over it like some kind of motorized medieval weapon. It's insane what those do to trees and branches. Nothing left but wood chips. Makes overgrown areas look like beautiful playgrounds.
BREAKING: Seattle man terrorises neighbourhood with modified R/C construction vehicle
This video should be called ‘name dropping all my sponsors and expecting an rc-toy to be as rugged as a 7 figure industrial machine that has decades of design that I can’t comprehend’😂
A future mower would be one of those plastic electric - lithium battery models but with your RC gadgets attached, then you could use it to cut your lawn while kicking back with a cold one. Still this dozer creation was pretty awesome.
“And it’s made of 60 real pounds”….I don’t know why but that made me chuckle lol
Now that's some mighty fine entertainment. Laughed my ass off. Good show! Guessing you have more fun mowing than I do!
The mini bulldozer work montage warmed my heart
At 2:35 I am laughing at the thought of you on the side of Aurora Ave in an abandoned lot piling up trash with a mini bull dozer in the middle of the night! God I miss Seattle.
The RC heavy equipment market is in fact abundant with scale construction vehicles such as excavators, dump trucks, bulldozers, semi trucks, gold mining equipment, and much more in all sorts of sizes from very small to large enough that a small child could ride on them
Just make sure Rick Moranis isn’t shrinking any neighborhood kids prior to use.
They're some pretty tasty slow-mo shots there. 😉. I knew it was going to be a great video when I saw the thumbnail 👏👏👏
Nice episode. Love it.
I understand why you put a block at the convergence point of teeth rings, to isolate bush trunks from jamming. But also block off bushes. Here is an option we could think about. Add a comb shape structure with a specific finger spacing pointing forward to pass in thin bushes and block off anything wider than the finger gap. Comb fingers also make the bush cutting much more effective.
As an option: we can begin with a comb with one finger place in the middle front where the left/right teeth meet. What do you think?
nO one ASKED
use green loctite retaining compound on those pins if the red loctite doesnt work out. it's made for that kind of deal vs red stuff being specifically for threads
This is definitely a different style than usual, but I'm likin it! Fun and lighthearted
3:27 We all gonna ignore that WILD statement? 🤣
This thing gives off Marvin Heemeyer vibes and I absolutely love it!
"... Achilles tendon's worst nightmare." The Buffalo Bills? 😂
Lol😂😂😂
The flail mowers used for hedges use hammers rather than Y-shaped knives, that's how they can mulch trees. The safe distance behind is often 50+ meters.
The new second gen killdozer prototype looks sick!
That Dozer is so stinking cute!
Amazing build
what dolly did you use for the bulldozer shots in your garden? super smooth
The thumbnail for this is going to give me Maximum Overdrive nightmares tonight.
I can only imagine the conversation that that road work crew had the next morning when they get to the site and a bunch of debris was piled up and there were tiny dozer track marks all over the place 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Daniel, I think you've finally achieved your childhood dream of driving the RC lawnmower from "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids"...
For those wondering about the dozer with the blurred markings at 0:23 . It's a Caterpillar D6T. You're welcome.
I do love some good old RC videos
I wonder if you can weld little steel plates to it and go rampaging through a corrupt Lego town?
I work for an equipment dealership and we sell basically a bigger version of this called a Prinoth Raptor 100. Turbo diesel RC tank with a mulching head. One of my favorite things to PDI 😂
I love these weird builds. haha
Also cool that we can see the track from the long-run tests. Next test when?
It’s not lazyness you’ve just made your lawn more ecologically valuable.
At 2:25 without a size reference one could easily be fooled into thinking this is a full size bulldozer! Thanks for the video!
Your videos always put a smile on my face
This video brings me comfort for no reason
How cool would it be to have mini self driving bulldozers cleaning up the leaves on the Sid of the roads. 😂
ok the stripper analogy was priceless!
“what do you do for a living” "i drive a toy bulldozer around to now people's lawns"
The build quality on that bulldozer is out of this world!
Theres a company that makes great RC tanks called Taigen. Their tiger tank has pretty well designed and reliable track and suspension design. I modded mine to be an autonomous forest creature but the base could work really well as a platform for doing all kinds of stuff, including popping space shuttle tires!
Anyway, awesome video!
The rodents in that brush definitely had an experience seeing that thing ripping towards them
Video idea: make a jetski that can drive itself
You need to enter battle bots with this thing 😂
This is one of the most beautiful robots I've ever seen
I like the idea of a flail attachment for the dozer
If somehow you could cut slots in the bulldozer blade for the 2 saw blades to protrude through. not sure how it could be done maybe moving the dozer blade forward with somekind of mount you could put the motors and blades behind the blade to protrude through the slots. Then it could push the debris out of the way and the motor is also protected .
For a second I thought you would add concrete armour to make it a little killdozer
I would like to suggest a HD string trimmer with the optional steel blade for maintaining you home, it will do wonders. Eye protection and PPE isn't a suggestion when cutting... brush.
That stripper joke got me good. Lol
You and Jamie Hyneman Mythbusters! The killer lawn mower😊
cool sound from the blades :-D It needs a camera, and a way for you to connect to it from across the globe. If you have that then someone working remotely can log in and mow their parents garden. Which hardware/ receivers did you use to control the buldozer?
FYI... it's called a ripper, but you can call it a plow if you want.
Can u do a long distance fpv flight with mission planner and fly from one town to another using waypoints.
