The Huina 1569 Bulldozer looks to be the best option to get you very own rc bulldozer for an affordable price, it’s relatively cheap with it’s sub $100 price tag, and from the videos I’ve come across it’s strong enough to do some work too! The model is very detailed. From what I’ve learned about this little dozer can also be modified with extra weight using tire balance weights, then you get a very capable machine! Lets look at some reviews of the model to get a sense of what it can do in it’s original form

Conclusion
Unfortunately it’s advertised as a larger model than it really is, according to video above, it’s probably closer to 1:24 scale, not 1:16. The tracks are made from rubber, not individual pieces. It’s not very strong and the blade is using a oscillating movement and doesn’t appear to have negative lift. The ripper is not strong enough to lift the model.
On the positive side, it is a very detailed model with all necessary functions that would bring a smile on any kids face in the sandpit. It’s strong enough to move some sand and dirt, and bring joy for about 50 minutes at the time.
Would I recommend this toy for you to be able to WOW your peers at a RC club meeting? No, probably not. Unless you needed something to haul around on a trailer for show. But as a gift for a kid with lower expectations than us adults, definitively! This model would be very popular in the sandpit at our home at least. For the price, I think you(at least your kid) get lots of fun for the money.
