Bruder Cat Dozer

[Tankbear]

I bought a bruder low loader last month for my truck and it came with a Cat dozer, so this afternoon I converted to RC.



With working lights



Inside with receiver battery and servos.

It works well apart from the rubber tracks slipping on the drive wheel. Also think the 4.8v battery is a bit weak for the job so may change to a 6v.

That's next job is to convert the low loader, so got electric raise/lower ramps and support legs. Already got lighting kit to install and need to lengthen it so can fit a tank on it.

I know my american trailer I bought off fleabay has a motor on the ramps but I have not used it yet but time will tell but if needed I can take underside pics but I'm sure you have it in hand Ian

I decided to revisit this build and improve on the tracks.

So from my rc tanks spares box I got some plastic tracks and drive sprocket to fit to this project.

The old setup



Change servo adaptor



Drive sprocket added



Tracks roughly held in in place



Wheels cut to accept the tracks centre guide home



Back to the drive wheel and some strengthening
