[@clarkmoseley3310]

Thank you Bob, I have two of these dozers we use on our float for parades. I was just about to install Sabertooth motor controllers to enable on stick travel operation, I will try the mixing. I also had tried to mix the pump to the hydraulic operation, but not the way you demonstrated. So, that is today's exercise. One note: if you want to run this for several hours, you may want to open the final drive cap and loctite the screws holding the drive cap and the internal plate that has countersunk screws. That failed on one of our dozers and it destroyed the final drive planetary. Had to buy two replacement final drives from Eagle and that was a $500 repair. Also, there is a guy in Austalia that tig welds up new blades that are correct for this dozer. He also builds the correct handrails.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Thank for the heads up! I will check my screws right away. Yes the mixing is great and saves you from having to purchase a new esc.

[@clarkmoseley3310]

@@HobbyconceptsLLC You are welcome. I have sent you an email.

[@DetroitDiesel671]

What a thoroughly excellent video! I don't know if it was intentional or coincidental, but a real Cat D10T is set up exactly as you have done, where the driving is controlled by the left joystick, and the blade movements are controlled by the right one. I'm going to set up my DXR2 just this way. Thanks!

[@openoutlaw]

I have been watching videos of RC construction vehicles for years and that crawler Tractor is by far my favorite. if I had to pick one RC that I wanted the most that would be it> I used to operate Heavy Equipment when I was in the Army and again when I was in the Navy and the one piece of equipment I spent the most time on was a Crawler Tractor. The first one I ever operated was a D7F that originated from Stockton CA about 13 miles from where I was born and raised and it was in Germany Out of all places. Felt like I had a piece of home with me so far away from home. I found the paperwork and original operators manual while replacing the seat one cold winter day. When I was in Iraq I got an upgrade to a D7G. never found where that one originated from, but it was nice compared to the old F model. I grew up running equipment for the Family business. I've been with the Railroad here in California for quite some time now and in about 6 years or so I will be retiring. I really want to own that Dozer when I do. Working on my pilots certificate now so it will be a while. Still waiting for my Grand Hauler to get here. I also drove truck for a while after the military. Sure miss being on and in the equipment. Great video. Sure wish those rascals didn't cost so much. I always wanted to run the Excavators but never did get the chance. Ran Dozer mostly and a lot of backhoe for the family so I imagine the excavator would of been second nature and a ton more power. I enjoyed the excavator video also.I sure do get a lot out of your videos. Thank you.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

That Grand Hauler you are building would look really great with a trailer towing one of these dozers!!

[@openoutlaw]

@@HobbyconceptsLLC I agree 100%. i looked at some of the ones on RC4WD and day dream about pulling that dozer around. i am amazed at the equipment they have that is fully functioning. Austria holds showa in big buildings with all the truck and equipment. I am kind of liking thm MAN trucks that are 8 wheel drive. I really want to travel across the big pond and attend one of those events. have you looked at the Scale Art trucks from Germany? They are so detailed and very pricey.

[@jlast450]

Nice one Bob!

[@drewgoody2957]

All full size Bulldozers use forward for down and backwards for up on the controls. I don’t believe I could have worked out how to change those controls around. Good on you.

[@yellowironcowboyrccon7484]

I have one there awesome!

[@TestECull]

I kinda want to get my hands on one of these, a Toyan inline twin, and combining the two. I just wonder if I can find hydraulic motors small enough to drive the tracks with. If I can, I'm thinking the engine will be attached to a helicopter governor and set to either idle or maintain a given speed, be belted to the hydraulic pump, and then everything else on the machine is run hydraulically.

[@RomeKG471]

Years back IMC out of Tennessee or Kentucky was supposed to build a 1/16th RC Cat D11N with a gasoline V4 engine, but they took orders and allot peoples money and then went bankrupt. Would have been an amazing machine and has never been copied.

[@shilohgardner]

Best video on operating it! Is this from Grumalu?

[@VazgShah79]

Thank You very much for this lerning video. It was so clear to understand mixing channel options. So where did You find battery and charger, because in ebay all selling models are without batteyr and charger. i\It is required 3s 11.1 v Li-Po battery but capacuty is unnown to last more as it possible for this heavy machine. I also wnated to know how long does it last the 5000 Mah battery? What charger do You use?

[@cristianangel9959]

Hello this video its amazing i like this, but i have a question this bulldozer is a similar scale a d10t or d9l in real machine ?

[@captaintony124]

Thanks for this well put together video with the DXR2 Dozer, yes I hated the way it came programed with each track on separate sticks, very hard to operate. I found your video very easy to understand how to reprogram it so it works like the real deal? After doing that I wanted to use my new Radiomaster TX16S open TX radio and this helped a lot for the mixing, BUT with an open TX system the mixing is way more complex because you can do so much more with and Radio using Open TX system. You know I would like to see a video using an open TX system and programming to work with the Beier Sound module USM-RC-2, especially using a rotary knob to control the module volume??

[@fdenton0310]

Warming the oil helps.

[@rockchoppers8118]

Thanks the programming help new dozer works much better. Not sure where the rc shop here in northern Alberta Canada got it. I believe supplier in China. Took 1.1/2 months to come in. Supposed to be new version came with lights and sound installed. Same backwards upside down programming. The pump ch5 slaved to blade and ripper very slow and weak. I checked the endpoint on ch5 it was preset at 60percent. I bumped it to 80 didn’t make much gain. And then seem like pump was running to hard when turned on. So I backed it off to 70. Any thoughts on more program tips on these machines and radios like which better setting for trim sub trim or trim?

[@thatsmyrc]

What a solid piece of machinery. I’ll be getting mine here very soon 😁.

[@thatsmyrc]

Ps your a live saver on the mixing on show how. This transmitter is a new model to me settings I’m getting used too. I’m normally used to having spectrums for my construction equipment. This mix will solve my problem on my track units 👍🏼

[@blackdawgrc8425]

Mr.bob good evening 🙏 sir! I have a question 🤔 about the hydraulic pump! Can you set up your endpoints to 50 to 100% to make your hydraulic functions operate alittle faster???? Without running the pump????

[@chuy2681]

I have an equal, it is amazing

[@ryanlagoda1352]

Dumb question here, im buying the batteries separately for mine andbi dont know what style plug end i need to go with the provided end on the dozer? Thank you

[@Maxlimitrcs]

Hey there absolutely love your youtube videos.. You got the most informative content out there 100% Quick question, what battery voltage are you using for your Dozer and Excavators? 7.4v or 11.1v

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

The dozer and excavator use 3 cell lipo's

[@Maxlimitrcs]

@@HobbyconceptsLLC but what voltage.. 7.4 or 11.1.. I have both

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

3 cell lipos are 11.1 volts.

[@nickmartin8039]

[@awesomusmaximus3766]

You need to check the bolts on the drive sprockets mine were loose I put a light kit in mine it was a real pain to do but worth it

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Working on lights now and it is a pain. I will check the sprockets, thanks for the tip!

[@gratd981]

I have a question. I followed the instructions perfectly, but when I go forward, the dozer turns. And when I turn, it goes straight. Which makes no sense. So I set channel 4 back to normal instead of reverse, and it appears to have fixed it. Is it possible that the right track, or track 4 was wired in reverse at the factory? I still need to try it properly on the ground.

[@ColesChampion]

I wish that you would become a dealer with these bulldozers.

[@CarlosHernandez-sy4bq]

You’re awesome Bob!I just received my D9 and my 360 and my dumper from RC4WD all at the same time. A lot of work to do! I noticed that I had to flush The system.There was a lot of metal shavings. ordered a filter,oil cooler,lights. Do they make stainless steel tracks for the dozer?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

CSMI in Australia makes Dozer hop ups.

[@dirtops8905]

I trying to figure out changing speed controller wiring so both tracks work off left stick I’ve followed your instructions on the controller. But now stuck with what wires to change.

[@Duraltia]

@19:08 Not super familiar with this brand of Remote ( or rather the OS running on it ) since I'm more of a former -OpenTX- / current *_EdgeTX_* person. Maybe it's because of the slow reaction time of the screen but it looks like CH5 is _proportionally_ tied to CH1/2? Obviously if you don't crank the Stick of CH1/2 to the max then CH5 won't run at full power either ( as compared to manually triggering it ). Does the OS support the ability to crank CH5 to its MAX value regardless of CH1/2's position ( well obviously only once they come out of their dead zones )? 🤔 Doing it like that is how I'd probably set it up on my *_FrSky_*_ Horus X12S_

I will never own that machine only because there is no way I would want to hear that hydraulic pump screaming while working. I doubt a sound module on full volume would drown it out. Besides that Bob, love your channel and love your work.

What all extremely did you have buy with the 1/14 Scale DXR2 Hydraulic Earth Dozer? I want to know cause I want to buy one

[@KC-7mm]

I used your video to set my dozer up the same way you did I love how it operates however first run about ten minutes in my driver side motor stopped running, I unplugged it for a few minutes and tried again it ran for a few minutes then shut down again. I went back and fourth with rc4wd for 3 months trying to resolve the issue settled on a replacement motor. I put it in it ran great for about two batteries then the other side did the same thing instead of dealing with rc4wd I’m looking at upgrading the motors do you have any suggestions or maybe something I overlooked? I set it up exactly like you showed in the video thanks.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I had a dozer motor fail also. Those motors take a real beating in the dozer as a lot of load on them. CSMI makes a brushless upgrade, you might want to look at that.

[@leonardjohnson1597]

What type of oil do you use and where do I buy it from?

[@Grimreaperrc]

I just ordered one of these and online it shows optional parts as the light kit and speaker does it come with it already from rc4wd?

Hi, Im looking for a King Hauler, can you help? How many separate parts do I need for a king hauler. Is it even still a good choice? I know that I need an electronic speed control, but it's discontinued, is there a replacement? What Servo do you recommend? What controller should I get? What battery and charger should I get? is there a semi truck that is less work, like all the "parts" that come with it. Or something less complicated?

Very cool machine. Is it possible to setup a mix so that moving the blade automatically toggles the hydraulic motor on and then off when you stop moving the blade?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Did you watch the video?

[@TheImtoomuch]

@@HobbyconceptsLLC Yes, I watched it in its entirety. I guess I just didn't hear the pump running if you made it work as I described.

[@spamhtr]

I just got this dozer and was following the setup controls to set the radio in the same manner as in the video. I was able to get the blade and ripper to operate as in the video however the forward/reverse and turning controls are on the wrong axis (turning on the y axis and forward reverse on x), checked my programming multiple times and it appears to be the same as in the video. Any help would be appreciated.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

You could reverse the 2 plugs into the receiver. Double check the left track. Unplug the right track and make sure the left track goes fed/rev correctly.

[@gratd981]

Also it would appear it got shipped with firmware 1.02 Jan 2018. Should I update to the latest 2020 V2.0.0.68? If I do, will I lose all my settings?

[@mcro80]

Bob does it come with a speaker already installed. Thinking of installing Beier SFR-1

It has a small speaker under the cab but the sound is poor. I replaced one with a Beier speaker and box behind the grill for a huge improvement in sound quality.
