CaDA Goliath Bulldozer C61056W

I enjoyed the build after overcoming initial difficulties: An Axel for a gear wheel was defective. Luckily the Bluebrixx Store in Hamburg had a replacemant. There was too much tension in the Motor Mock-up. Since the defective Axle was in the Motor mock-upI had to rebuild ist, after that the tension was gone and the construction went without any problems. Point of criticism: the cable management could be better, some of the cables are too long, but once you realize that, it's too late to place them better. Anyone who hase made a mistakt when connecting to the 2 battery boxes: it's hard to change this! Check it out early enough!!! The attachment of the Engine Hood is noch clever designed. The drive train has too much friction. Things I like: The Yellow Track. The Yellow Beast is very impressive after it's finished! The construction is relatively easy and you can progress relatively quickly. If you like big machines, this is the thing for you :)

I regret to say that I was very disappointed about this set. Based on the positive reviews in the web and particular on Youtube, I decided to order this set directly from CaDa. The technique of this model is amazing, I have to admit. However, I experienced two major drawbacks. The first one is related to the adherence of the pieces (at least in the set I got). The covering of the motor compartment totally falls apart. I had to fix dozens of pieces with superglue. Otherwise it was impossible to touch! the bulldozer at all. The second (more striking) issue is related to the driving itself: In my set, the track has not enough tension, so that it slips over the teeths of the final drive. I have to stress that I properly assembled the model. Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove one piece of the track and there is no option to adapt the track idler to fix this. Therefore, it actually impossible to touch the model (because there are continuously pieces falling apart) or test its functions, as it simply does not drive (due to the lack of grip of the track).
Given the multiple positive videos, e.g. on youtube, which demonstrate that the model is at least driving, I assume that there are significant differences in quality between the sets and I might have had back luck. If anyone has an idea to increase the track tension in this model, I would be happy for suggestions.

Hi everyone this is a terrific model and works perfectly after finished! This build for sure needs some experience in building. Read ahead and make a plan for wire placement. Test gears for smoothness after assembly! The quality of parts is very good and was not missing anything. As a matter of fact the kit had spares of a lot of small parts. Also the design of this beast is excellent! A lot of thought went into it. Overall a very nice building experience!! Many thanks to CaDA and the designer of this model!

A really enjoyable build with a building style that I really like and that comes close to my own way of building technical models. Full of working features but nevertheless combined with great looks. I really dig the combination of basic bricks for the outher shell and technical elements for the inner workings. A lot of fun to operate thanks to an own motor for every function. No nasty gearboxes that take the spontaneousness of operating the model and do not allow to simultaneously operate more than one function.
Thumbs up to Cada for a very good parts quality and not a single missing brick! Also a big plus are some really useful parts shapes that I haven't seen so far with other manufacturers of building bricks.
Congratulations to the designer Maciej Szymanski for creating an outstanding piece of construction equipment!
If I had to critizise a point, it would be the missing blade guard on the outer angled sections of the blade.
