Before we even know LEGO would release it’s own radio controlled bulldozer I
started to build my own one in April 2006. As usual I wanted to but a set
which wasn’t in LEGOs assortment anymore and after visiting a few toy shops
I found my copy of set 8366. At
first I was a littlebit disappointed; the steering is only suitable for
racing cars and not for trucks which I mostly make. However, I really wanted
to make a real life MOC based on this sets and then I thought a bulldozer
would be something.
After a year I finished my MOC this week and took it outdoor today for a
photoshoot. More info I will place on my website soon. In a meanwhile you
can see a few pictures in my
Brickshelf gallery.

Wow! Spectacular! I’d love to see some video coverage of your bulldozer in
action. I think it looks even better than the one LEGO is coming out with.
I think the tractor and lo-boy are very well done also. Excellent work!

It looks beautiful Dennis! Yes, you should make a video of it. It would also
be nice to see the mechanisms inside it. Did you use 1 motor for the tracks and
the steering motor (inside the RC module) to add/subtract from each side, or did
you use independently controlled tracks? I guess I may have to wait until you
post more details on your site.
The best part in my opinion is the use of the flat 1x’s placed in a
perpendicular fashion for the treads. From a distance it looks exactly like
real dozer treads. The best picture is the one from the rear where one can see
right through the tracks.

Wow! You always do great work. I think the authentic look of this model is just
one of the strong points of your style. I really like all of the technical
capabilities and details. Great job! Awesome photos!

Hallo Rosco
Thanks for your interesting. I also see, what you build, specially your Demag
Crawler-Crane. Very impressive and nice colour!! I like real working machinery.

No, the drive shaft dont take the load. The drive-axle is 2 studs away from the
axle, that carry the "hydraulic ram". The drive-axle goes sideway to the right
side. There are a geares 20/12, that make the same moving-way as the "cylinder".

I can fix it easy, but its (because of my little english) difficult to explain.
If you like, send for me a email, so i will send you some detail-pictures.

I make only the test you see on picture, i load with the crane the spreader on
the truck. With the lattice boom, i think i can not lift to much.
