Yep, I pulled the bulldozer apart for the motors, transmitters etc. I'm putting
in my Christmas order for a Technic set with some PF linear actuators, just to
see what they are like.
I would really like to see TLG come up with a PF electric/pnuematic valve, so
that we could remotely work the pnuematics. Any improvisations that I have seen
take up a bit of space.
The skidsteer is not far of Bruder model scale, so my son and I have been
filling the skidsteer with pony beads from tipper trucks. Great fun.
BTW where can your skidsteer be viewed?
Thanks for your comments
