Peterbilt 379 DayCab Semi Truck (Tamiya King Hauler)... Started a new build, its a Tamiya King Hauler. I will be starting off with a stretched "Joe's Custom Truck Shop" frame. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4591.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4594.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4595.jpg |
Got the new frame swapped in, I will paint it later after everything is mocked up. Stock frame was 22 3/4", new "Joes" frame is 28". http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4609.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4603.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...IMG_4591-1.jpg And the flex shot. :lol: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4608.jpg |

Updates... -Got some parts in the mail, this rig was missing a lot of pieces when I got it. -Installed the trans and found a old silvercan in my toolbox I tossed in. -Bolted the cab floor pan in and dremeled a space for the motor. (I will be making a center console to cover the motor later) -Made a styrene sleeper pan that is bolted to the trans. All the tronics will go in the sleeper. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4626.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4629.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4619.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4623.jpg |
Got some parts in the mail from gardentrucking.com. -LED Fender Lights -LED Roof Lamps -Bull pipes Oh yeah, got my Tamiya Flatbed in the mail too. And I will be lowering the body to get that pimp look this week. :) http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4668.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4677.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4671.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4672.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4675.jpg |
Here is a little trailer test video. I didn't know that there was a mechanism that closed the tractor trailer support legs while you hitched it up, its pretty cool. :cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymUHsxzcc1w |
I love my Knight Hauler. Problem I see is the scale size difference. The Semi looks too small for that big a$$ scaler on it. IMO. :mrgreen: Keep the build going. Love the trucks!"thumbsup" |

BTW, post a build thread of your rig, would love to check it out!"thumbsup" |
Updates... -Got a CAT 512, now to hinge the hood. :) BTW, it weight just over a pound. -Trailer is getting close to being done. After I get the tractor done I will convert the trailer to a lowboy. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4687.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4686.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4691.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4692.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4695.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4698.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/IMG_4699.jpg |
Whoops...ummmm....forgot I had this on the shelf.:D Updates... -Shaved bottomed sides of the CAT engine to get it to fit in the frame rails. -Alum bell crank and steering done, still needs a bit of tweaking. -65t motor with a 9t (32p) pinon. -Got another sleeper box, I will be combine them to make one big one. -Teking FXR and Hitec 645 servo. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/68b3fb58.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/29828a42.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/7f21b18b.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/59f8567b.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/5bf1e64a.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...4/5cff07c3.jpg |
Gonna be sick when finished. I've wanted to do one of these as a tribute rig to my old mans truck, been thinking of a way to mock his airbags in front with a servo, he could dump the air and sit the battery box on the ground,it was sick |
Nice build you have going on. I have 4 of the tamiya big rigs soon it will 5. I'll be following your build keep up the goog work."thumbsup" |
Dude, how many builds do you have going on right now?!? :ror: This rig is looking great! |
I've been dying to get one of these for so long, I just have no clue what I would do with one. Can you get some sort of sound box for these? I think a jake sound clip would make me buy one like NOW. I've been building a 1:25 of most likely what I would do with one of these for a few years (to many projects) heres a couple pics. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...Picture343.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...Picture340.jpg |
