Thank you for your kind opinion. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing problems with the model. 1) Cables should be perfectly safe if folded in a correct way but I agree that it is not always obvious according to instructions (prepared by CaDA). Hopefully, my video helps with that a little. 2) The triple plug is a tricky part, I admit, and it takes some effort to install it properly. Unfortunately, there was no other place for it. By the way, the clamping force was somewhat better with bricks of the other brand ;) . 3) Sure, the body of the model (unlike the chassis) is rather fragile but that is the price for realistic looks. Correct angles, correct colors, almost no visible Technic holes - all of it takes some tinkering and just isn't possible with super-solid Technic building. But the model is remote controlled, so as long as you don't try to pick it up by the bonnet or driver's cabin, it should hold just fine :). 4) About the grille - have you tried removing the blue plates 1x2? Also, make sure the red brackets 2x2 on the side walls are attached at the correct angle and that the whole side walls are UNDER black round tiles 1x1 attached to liftarms that support black actuators. I promise there are no problems with my copy of the model when these conditions are fulfilled. I hope this helps. Have a good time playing with your model!

@@dmaclego Thanks for the detailed answer. Yes, I tried everything with the radiator grill, but it is probably simply due to the not always optimal clamping force Cada. Generally with the system components. Ultimately, it's less of a problem for me now. It's not like the model is played with a lot. The presentation takes place in the showcase :).

Sure, it's a mater of taste :) . But although Goliath is a made-up brand, my design is VERY, VERY much inspired by a real life machines and there was no question for me that I should keep the original color scheme, which I like very much.

At the CaDa price, compared to Lego, you can easily afford to buy extra grey or black track. Or use it from another set you may already own.

@@whatsups3045 yeah definitely. At the price you can modify designs to your own liking relatively cheaply

You're welcome. Have fun with it!

Thank you for your kind opinion. About that cracking sound - the only reason I can think of might be the incorrect placement of the driving half-axles. They must meet exactly in the middle of two dark gray Technic bricks. Please, let me know if this helps you.

@@dmaclego Unfortunately that wasn't the problem. Additional to that I pulled one of the axles too far out so that the gear dropped out. Now I can rebuild the whole dozer. Thanks anyway!

Thank you. Well, my building style has its price - models tend to be fragile and heavy, since achieving non-standard shapes and angles requires quite a lot of extra bricks. And yes, the wedge tiles are my small victory :D . Hopefully, we will them soon in other colors, too. As far as I know, there is chance for dark tan 2x3 in the near future ;) .

@@dmaclego And I have a strong feeling we will see the wedge tiles in black very soon. 😉

@@dmaclego yes those wedge tiles and the adjustable railings are revolutionary!

@@Bric_workshop Thanks. I'm really happy CaDA decided to greenlight the railings.

Thank you.

Please, comment here on the set once you have it assembled. Whether positive or not so positive, feedback is always welcome.

Hi Marco. Unfortunately, I can't really help you without a thorough inspection of your model. However, as you surely know, there are only two possible explanations: either you've made a mistake during assembly (yes, I know you've checked) OR the quality of CaDA bricks is getting worse (which is very unlikely, since CaDA parts are generally very good and get better all the time). On purely theoretical level, there could be one more possibility: CaDA track links are NOT identical to LEGO track links so if - by mistake - you used LEGO track links instead of CaDA, track length might be incorrect.... But LEGO does not produce track links in yellow :) . On the other hand... are you 100% sure that it's the track that is slipping over the top wheel? Maybe it's the wheel that makes kind of jerky motions but not actually turning? It would look quite similar to a track slipping over the wheel but the actual reason for this kind of behavior could lay inside the model (and the reason would almost certainly be a misplaced or faulty gear wheel somewhere inside the transmission). I really can't see any other solution to your problem. I hope this helps! Best regards, Maciej

Thank you. It is a generic model (or, to be more specific, a model of Goliath bullzoder - a fictional brand I invented)... but some people say it is oddly similar to Cat D8T ;).

Isn it cat d6?

Thank you for your kind opinion. Whichever way you decide to modify your model - it's always welcome! That's what brick building is all about: searching solutions that suit you best. CaDA did not obtain a licence for this model, so it's neither a Cat nor a Liebherr - it's just Goliath :) . But I have a feeling that if you look closely at Cat D8T, you may notice some resemblance. If you remove the whole transmission (subtractor mechanism) and use simply one motor per side (geared down, of course), it should run without problems. I don't think it will run, though, if you jest remove one gear from current configuration. They are all there for a reason, you know ;) . Good luck with your experiments!

@@dmaclego thank you sir.. i also think this is kinda d8t with some difference...😂😂👍👍🦺

Dziękuję. W wielu fabrycznie nowych buldożerach, choćby marki Caterpillar, gąsienice są żółte. Szare/metaliczne/rdzawe stają się dopiero gdy złazi z inch farba. Poza tym, w tym samym roku LEGO wypuściło żółte gąsienice w rozmiarze 7, więc wyprodukowanie przez CaDA żółtych gąsienic w rozmiarze 5 było bardzo dobrym posunięciem.

Co do zgodności z prawdziwymi odpowiednikami CAT to oczywiście że tak ma być :) to tylko moje subiektywne zdanie. Zawsze można na stronie cady zamówić 100 płytek szarych gąsienic po 10 centów sztuka :) pewnie kupię ten zestaw ale zostanę przy oryginalnych gąsienicach

I disagree but hey, they are just stickers - optional by nature :) .

Hi! This shouldn't happen, of course, but when it does happen, I can imagine quite a lot of reasons :) . Please, let me ask you some questions first: 1) What surface do you try to drive on? A table? A carpet? A very hairy carpet? Out of these three, the last one may be too much for the model. 2) If you drive on a fairly hard surface and the problem still occurs, please, pick up the model and try turning left and right in the air. If the model is correctly assembled, one track should turn slowly and the other one quickly. Is it so? 3) Please, count the links in both tracks. I'm not sure if CaDA offers extra links with the set but if so, then maybe your tracks are too long, too loose. Please, let me know if this helps.

@@dmaclego Its also on Hard Surface.☹️ When both chains are in the air, the mechanism work! I‘ve allrrady count the Tracks- 51 pieces on both sides- 50 doesnt work. I cant connect them

@@spanktobi1 In your initial message you said that the track SLIPS over the drive wheel. Is the wheel actually turning or does it make minimal moves back and forth, possibly with "clicking" sound? If it's the former, and the track length is correct, then it's either: a) one of the wheels is incorrectly placed (which is very unlikely) or b) quality issue (either with track links or wheels, which is even less likely). If it''s the latter, then it's a mechanical problem with the final drive - one or more of the gear wheels may be malfunctioning under stress. In this case, unfortunately, you must disassemble the model and carefully examine all the gears and their location with the manual. If you find a faulty part (badly moulded, for instance), try contacting the seller. But in my opinion, it will rather be a small mistake in assembly - a missing spacer, perhaps. It's really impossible for me to tell you exactly what's going on without looking inside of the model :) . All I know is that the design was thoroughly tested and if correctly assembled, with all parts intact, the model should not behave like this. Good luck!

@@dmaclego Mhm i thought that the Tracks maybe are blocking,but they run fluently. The other wheels also run without any Problem. The Problem is,that i bought the Model from a privat Person-so i have to dissamble the Power unit and Look for any mistake 🙄🤦🏿‍♂️

@@spanktobi1 Well, if you bought a previously owned, already assembled set, then it is quite possible that one or more of the gears was overstressed by previous owner. Assembly mistakes are equally possible. Good luck repairing your model!

You mean specific numbers for pushing capacity? Come on, it is just a toy :) . It is not supposed to push serious loads, it will not work in sand or mud. However, it will push a bunch of bricks on your table without much effort and you should be able to stop it - on your table, again - with your hand and watch the treads working in place. That's the intended capacity. If you cannot perform this sort of tasks and the model is assembled correctly, then I'd say something is wrong either with the motor or battery box.

@@dmaclego yeah steering works fine but it's not able to spin it's treads even on smooth hardwood. I tried switching hubs & taking it apart but the problem remains. Must be the motor after all. Thanks for your help!

Well, you know MY answer to this question, right? :) Five L motors Pro. Two micromotors. Two sets of remote control. Lights. Black actuators. Yellow actuators. Yellow tracks. Half price.... But ultimately, the choice is yours, of course :).

Thank you. I believe it is not the quality control issue - these are the only 1x2 tiles produced by CaDA. I just did not know that when I designed the model :(.

Dziękuję za opinię. Jeżeli zmontowałeś model bezbłędnie, koło napędowe nie powinno się ślizgać - chyba, że a) przeciążasz model jeżdżąc po trudnym podłożu albo b) producent obniżył jakość elementów. Trudno zgadnąć. Koło napędowe umieszczone u góry to znak firmowy buldożerów firmy Cat i z tego co wiem, nikt się nie skarży na to rozwiązanie, którego największym plusem jest to, że układ napędowy nie jest narażony na kontakt z przeszkodami terenowymi. Niestety nie wiem, dlaczego w Twoim egzemplarzu pojawił się problem. Namawiam do wprowadzania usprawnień; wszystko da się jakoś ulepszyć!

@@dmaclego dzięki za odpowiedź! Już kombinuję co z tym zrobić. Generalnie na podłożu typu parkiet czy jakaś terakota nie ma problemu ale już na dywanie gdzie jest większy opór i tarcie koła zaczynają się ślizgać po gąsienicy. Co do napędu to zwracam honor , faktycznie tak to działa. Myślę nad czymś co zwiekszyłoby napięcie gąsienic ale póki co jeszcze nie wymyśliłem;) Co do jakości Cady to wydaje mi się, że producent nie zaoszczędził na jakości. Wydaje mi się, że po prostu waga tej konstrukcji jest tak duża, że przy oporach na gąsienicy ( typu coś szorstkiego jak dywan) koła napędowe tracą z nią kontakt . Próbowałem zabrać jedno ogniwo ale niestety wtedy napięcia są zbyt duże, żeby wgl je spiąć. Pomijając to model jest fenomenalny i ogromnie gratuluję:)

@@Grecki_Bog_Domestos Dziękuję. Jeżeli chcesz zmienić długość gąsienicy, możesz spróbować użyć oryginalnych ogniw gąsienicy LEGO. Na dłuższych odcinkach jest drobna, lecz zauważalna różnica (ale nie pamiętam już, czy z takiej samej liczby ogniw wychodzi dłuższa gąsienica LEGO, czy CaDA). A jeśli chodzi o masę modelu, to sprawa jest oczywista: albo się buduje model czysto Technicowy i wtedy wygląda on tak, jak D-11 wypuszczony przez LEGO, albo się łączy funkcje Technicowe z realistycznym wyglądem i wtedy model swoje waży :) .

@@dmaclego dzięki za poradę. Ja zdecydowanie jestem zwolennikiem Twojego podejścia. Jak tylko zobaczyłem ten model w necie to narobiłem w spodnie :D

Good luck remodelling - that's what bricks are for!

Learn how to build bricks dude :)

Thank you very much for your kind opinion. LEGO must designers follow strict rules; that's why Technic models will never be what I like the most: a mixture of working mechanisms and System aesthetics. And no, I do not use Instagram (or any other social media for that matter). Flickr is where present my photos and KZfaq is my place for videos.
