As my girlfriend says.
"I'm not in touch with my inner child, I am my inner child!"
Anyway I had a remote control New Bright excavator when I was a kid that worked great. However as they all say the older the boys the bigger their toys so I enjoy running a Takeuchi TB25 and an American instead. But its always fun to play with the old tonkas too from time to time.

That little komatsu is definatly on my wish list, remindes me when I was a kid I got a new bright RC Cat D9L dozer, man it was big, it was 19" in lenght from the blade to the end of the ripper (4bbL m.s), 9" high and the blade was 9" wide. It had a oil tank on it so smoke would come out of the stack, I put a lot of hours on it, worked it in sand to rock, I still have the dozer but it sits on a shelf waiting for a major overhaul.:yup :bouncegri

Reminds me of that old movie, "Kill Dozer".
Think it was about a D8K that bumps into a space rock of some kind then magically goes off with its own set of grading plans.
Interesting concept and a sure way to cut labor costs...:iagree

Yeah, Ill say.....
Some of those On road Semi's looked pretty cool thogh, and a little more affordable....
Remote controlled dozers isn't new.
Today our 1994 Liebherr 742 was transported to the auction site.(30t 62000lbs) Will be auctioned next month.
It is equipped with a radio controll, i've got one u hang on your stomach.
Put the gas to max, security handle down, ignition to 1, push the R/C button and close the doors.
Then u start/stop it from the remote and controll everything from there.
Forward/back, blade and ripper.
We also got one 731 Liebherr dozer with the same equipment.
Real nice when u park it with the other stuff, leave it for a couple of hours, invite some locals for a demo....(open day for example)
Hide in the bush, when u start it with the remotecontroll.
Some locals have been very close to a heart attac when it fires and nobody is inside...
But, its history now.
Was equipped that way to be able to clear minefields, with the operator at a distance.
And by the way, we got a Volvo L120 with R/C too.(In our shooting range)
Then we talk about big toys...

So where do you get them at?
The local Liebherr dealer suported us with it.
The liebherr got electronic controlls of the hydrostatic drive.(linde pump and motors)
Then u only need some solenoids on the blade and ripper blocks.
A box 1x1x1 feet aproximately on the right side of the dozer, with some electronic boards inside, thats all.
A German produced controll system that can be used for many aplications.
I'll take some pics tomorrow of the controll, and see if i find something of the dozer showing the controll system.
It spent the last year outside, in my "scrap" area.(I got new Komatsu ones)
