- Parts are in! Now these are not OEM parts but I will modify them to make them work. You’ll get to see what needs to be done and what areas are critical to success but the repairs are successful. This breakdown cost about $30 to repair. It could have been more. I like that it is repairable without too much difficulty. Now I need to get it back to work.
NEAT idea, to cut the gear with the Dremel tool!
I've always went to a friends place, & used their lathe to customize the gears.
This will save me a trip next time!
I bought this bulldozer back in 2017 and no problems with at all. Just routine maintence. Added a cooling system. Great video.
That’s awesome. It’s a great machine. I like upgrading it too.
Good thing you hired a good mechanic I felt like I was watching gold rush with that big dozer
If I was small like the scale crew that thing would be a monster. My mechanic is working out pretty good so far. I might give him a raise.
Good job of inhouse repair.
Thank you very much.
@@digitrc you're welcome
Hi thanks for your idea i found out that it was not a broken gear,i had take off the wheel and might not have put the ring clamp on properly and it came lose.Now i am good again
That’s great news.
Nice job
Thank you
Great job
Thank you
Good to see the dozer ready for more work.
I wanted it ready right away to test the new mods on the heavy haul P802.
@@digitrc looking forward to seeing that too.
I've got the same dozer. Interesting to see you taking it apart....learning from your videos. thanks. subscribed :)
Welcome, nice to have you. Thank you for subscribing.
A well serviced an maintained machine can last way so much longer than a machine that gets ignored and never serviced , a little more grease in here i like your thoughts , just about to pick up my 1st r/c earthmoving machine , i bought the komatsu 4200XL excavator , so i,ll be like you if it needs doing it gets done
Nice. Good affordable machine you are getting too, the 4200xl. I love the brushless upgrade I did to mine!
well done mate Awesome job😄👍
Thanks mate!
the right track isn't setting down on the front idler
I saw that also. A large trigger clamp will make taking your tracks on and off a breeze.
Yea I noticed that too but track was coming back off for more modifications anyway so I left it. Good catch guys!
Hello my modeling friend. That was a very good repair TOP. But you're missing a small lathe.
With that you would have the little ones faster and cleaner
can shorten gears. It was super instructive to see that. Have fun with your models.
Greetings Kalle from Germany
Thank you. Yes a Lathe would be awesome but if I can accomplish the task with what I have then it saves money I can spend on new equipment!😁
You really need to get a small solvent wash tank to clean gears and bearings prior to greasing and reassembly. Also, not a good idea to be using an abrasive cutoff wheel right next to the bearings and gears.
save the best one for reference for future like the thickness. maybe make a jig that will give you the right thickness without guessing
Good tip.
Do you know what is causing the gears to fail. I pulled mine apart before ever running it and noticed substantial gear slop and almost no grease . After hrs of adjusting and grease it’s a lot better. Lucky I have not had a problem yet.
You know I’ve only had this problem consistently with the one side and I think it was poor gear mesh. I have a whole new drive standing by for when this one fails again. It would be nice if the tolerance was tighter but…
With the other side the only problem I had, I caused. And brushes getting worn on the motor itself which is not a big deal. I hope yours continues running well. I think this gear problem might have been a fluke or at least not a real common problem.
Would have been possible to order the gears from the bulldozer manufacturer?
Yes you can get them from Rc4wd but I don’t like the quality of the stock gears. In fact I have a set of the stock gears for it but I didn’t want to put those back in. Very brittle metal. But yes it is easy enough to keep it with OEM parts.
Did you know that Loctite has a product for tiny screws #222 pink
I did not. I will look into that. I wonder if it’s similar to the loctite that comes with some tamiya kits. Thanks for the tip.
@@digitrc they sell it on Amazon
What part numbers for the gears you used? Great video by way 👍
For this round I used Traxxas 6745 9t pinion.
@@digitrc great. Thanks for the info. How is your repair holding up? No issues?
@@coastalRCshop2940 so far so good. No issues.
@@digitrc great. Good to hear

32p or .5mod.
@@digitrc Thanks bro
