ManCave's Custom Tamiya Globeliner Semi

[TheManCave]

I already owned the other 3 american brand semi's ( king hauler, knight hauler and areomax ) so I decided to make the ugliest IMO as good looking as possible. Everything on the truck is stock with a few modifications. The axles have been locked with JB weld on the shafts, The cab is a custom two tone burnt copper and pearl flake black chassis is painted burnt copper, tranny interior and drive axles are Caterpillar yellow. Powering the rig is a Venom esc, and 6 cell stick pack, two HS625 servos ( steering and shifting ) Spktrum sr300 rx. After all the work put into this one I actually grew fond of the COE style design and will be used in this falls RC logging series on my YouTube channel. Here's what she turned out like.

that totally crossed my mind, until I sat there and looked at how long the painting would have taken and went simpler but still classy

It was the most time consuming semi build yet, only due to sitting around waiting for paitn to dry LOL. I've already ran em in the woods, and its a blast. I'll have some pics of all of my rigs in action posted up soon
