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.
