Free Mods Make A Huge Difference! Top Race TR143-G Huina CY1569 RC Bulldozer.

Hello KZbin!
Today's video we are looking at the modification of our Top Race TR143-G 9 channel RC bulldozer. Its basically a direct re-brand of the Huina CY1569 1:16 bulldozer. The standard bulldozer just cant get the traction on loose surfaces to adequately push material round. So today we are going to modify the tracks and add some much needed weight, to hopefully improve the dozer's performance. These almost free Mods Make A Huge Difference!

A great improvement in the look of it too, I would do every track pad as look even more realistic…

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

I thought about it but i wondered if every other link would give more traction?

[@RC3DPrintAdventure]

Great work. Nice improvements. I know they are just small models, but it is nice when they can perform somewhat similar to their full size version. 👍

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Yes it turned out quite well. I was genuinely supprised. 👍

[@modelnutty6503]

for sure disappointing when they're too darn wimpy, this one is FIXED :)

[@nhmtrhd]

I have a WL excavator. I added lead to the inner track assembles. But also hot glued bb’s in all the limited nooks & crannies of the upper housing. Big difference!! It’s almost 15lbs now and performs way better. Off topic a bit, but I wouldn’t buy the WL again. It had massive cracks in the main stick out of the box! Really! I had the seller send me new parts and they cracked in higher stressed areas! I ended up making my own aluminum gussets. Time consuming but no more problems. Btw if your wondering what this 65yr old was doing with the machine. I would scoop dog food from one bowel to another. That’s all! After 30 or 40 battery cycles it hasn’t broke yet😁

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

I bet your dog loves it! 😅

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Very nice job on this. Some really simple but effective mods you did here. I think Steve Shen did the track mod on his ripsaw tank. I like your idea of utilizing old windshield wiper bits! I think it worked very well. Great job on this Sir! 👊🏼😊👍🏻

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Surprisingly it worked a treat! Cheap too! 👍😅

[@obeesrcconstruction9279]

Nice vid; I did the same thing when the bulldozer first came out and I also modded the blade to dig down deeper; I then compared it to a stock item out of the box and the difference was extraordinary.

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Yes, some small changes make all the difference! 😄👋

[@tech1782]

Love the wiper blade idea!!!

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Yes it worked out really well. Another subscriber has said they just turned the tracks inside out. Not sure if that works or not. 👍👍

[@rcconstructionmoorey4142]

Thanks for the video, did a similar thing with my dozer, adding fishing sinkers to the inside , will take on the track upgrade as well thanks mate, from Australia 🇦🇺

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Yes, I had a mate that used fishing shot and glue to add weight! It worked a treat. Your more than welcome and thanks for watching!

[@oba1956]

Good Analysis, its a smaller model than I thought. It has to have more weight and better tracks and weight to move earth around and rocks will be a problem also...

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

The mods make a decent difference. 👍

[@ice_blockYT]

You should of tried flipping the rubber track around, it worked for me top race excavator but it’s still very very cool 😎 🎉

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Wow never thought of that, super simple too! :)

Was just thinking that, going to try it.👍👍👍👍

Very nice video. Is there an RC scraper as well in this scale?

I don't think so, but there should be!!!! :}

Awesome Fix !!! I wonder why they do not make a metal version because this plastic one does not work good ???

Where did you get the little grousers (track extensions) for the tracks?

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

1:10 got them free from a local motor factors. They were second hand. 👍😉

[@shaungwatkin1638]

Hi buddy I like your work have you done a upgrade on the battery 🔋 I have done the blade and that's great cuts great now but battery does not last long 😮‍💨cheers Shaun 👍

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Hello Shaun thank you very much! I've not updated the battery yet. It's finding space on the dozer is the problem. 👍👍

[@shaungwatkin1638]

Hi was thinking if you could have like a extension line wires to plug it in to on the old battery box and run them under the bely of the dozer to the rippers at the back and place the new battery on top of the roof or the ripper area 🤔and you could disconnect from there

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

@@shaungwatkin1638 that sounds like a plan. I wonder if anyone does a higher capacity battery of the same size. WPL battery's are the same size but you would have to change the connector. 👍👍

[@carloshnunez]

works very well, do you think it will match in scale with the WPL B series??? 🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Now you're asking. I personally think its actual scale is about 1.22 / 24. They quote 1:16 but that's just nonsense! 👍

[@modelnutty6503]

the "mini D12" might be about the right size next to it.

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

@@modelnutty6503 that's a good point. 👍

[@mikegiovanoli3285]

Which had more of a impact, the weight or the extra traction? I wonder if you would have noticed a difference with just one of the upgrades?

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

I think they both go hand in hand. Both done together probably equals a better result. 😀👍

slanted blade or snow blower attachment? either way it'd clear freshly fallen snow.

Would you consider putting metal tracks on it?

Do they do them? 😀👍

[@drzflyest4]

Is there any upgrades for the drive motors?

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Don't think so unless larger motors can be fitted. They have slipper clutches in to prevent damage if too much strain is applied. Must admit so far I've not hadcan issue with the standard units. But I do tent to pick scale appropriate material to move around. 👍

I might have missed it but How much weight sid you end up adding?
