@sitiocatucai Thanks for the comment, I built it because I seen the other models on YouTube and I wanted one. I knew I couldn’t afford one so I figured I could build my own. When out bought some hand tools and a welder and just began to build it with research from the internet. I have about $1000US into it, some of the big items was the 2x motors, 8ft of chain, radio/servos, liner actuators, battery, steel and the nuts and bolts. Have plans this year to upgrade some things.

@sapphirejon The motors are the same but I found my motors at the first web sight when you search for: AME 218-series 12V 212 in-lb LH gearmotor - long shaft They run about $50 each.

Excellent work. Do you manufacture custom? What is the value?

nice work, but you should use transistors for rc control

@Garcia23Dj @Garcia23Dj Check out this video. The actuators are powered by small motors that turn a screw inside the ram. Turn the screw clockwise it pulls the ram into or out of the sleave lifting or lowering the blade. They are controlled just like a RC motor with a RC receiver and radio. To boost the power I used the Sabertooth motor controllers. Great Question! Check out my video; "RC Dozer with new Electronics" It expands on this topic a bit more.

how did you make the actuators control the blade?

@MrRobot58 If you search for "FA-MS-8-12-4 Mini 4" stroke 8 lbs force 12V actuator" you will see the ones I bought. They are electric rather than hydraulic.
