Steve did you fix the tires so they stay on? Ed

Re: Mack M75SX
 

Ed , A little dab of glue ;) I glued them at cabin fever with what little glue Scott left me :eek::p I just added the 2nd ytube vid . I tried to cut some of the loading time out :confused:

Re: Mack M75SX
 

I heard of doin what you gotta do to get the job done , but thats a new 1 to me :eek: funny how all the non owners reply :eek::rolleyes: . I wonder , how far away was the cat dealership or was it the case of can't fix the 375 till we get paid deal :rolleyes:


thanks JD :)

Re: Mack M75SX
 

Not with that company... that 375 is probably just one of a hundred that they have... vantagetes is based out Edmonton, Alberta.

When I first clicked it, I figured the dozer would be taking a ride?
Hmm, silly me, I should know better, LOL!
Cheer's, Neil.

Re: Mack M75SX
 

I've heard of pushing dirt off a platform above the truck but that's a new one on me. I like that out-of-the-box thinking.

Re: Mack M75SX
 

nice work Steve

Re: Mack M75SX
 

not very efficient but it's gettin the job done!

Re: Mack M75SX
 

Steve, just curious what is that dual motor/transmission set from? Does it work well?

Re: Mack M75SX
 

It's an E max 2 speed trans . It works great , but, they're a lil big for a 14th/16th scale highway truck . It moved a good couple yards of fill today :D with the naggin tire issue :( but fun as H311 :D

Re: Mack M75SX
 

finally put this 1 on the scale too :o pushin 30Lbs

Re: Mack M75SX
 

Does that include paint?:p

Re: Mack M75SX
 

no :rolleyes::o I got a paint scheme in mind just tryin to figure out how to mask all the lil stars in it . I could send it to Spudd but I'll probably never see it again :eek: I got a few little details to do then I can paint it . Problem may be shutting it down to paint when the quarrying starts :eek: , guess I'll have to just throw some construction orange on it .

Re: Mack M75SX

thank you Rick :)

Re: Mack M75SX
 

For the stars, I assume you are thinking of the 1976 bi-centennial red, white & blue. I just so happen to have a hole punch that cuts stars. I did a test by applying blue painters tape to a sheet of .005" styrene, & it punched thru with ease. Then with some patients, i peeled off the blue "Masking" star. So with that, i would spray the area the stars are needed in white, then carefully punch & apply the stars where needed, then paint the blue over the masked stars......:D You can order one cheap on amazon here http://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-235370.../dp/B0033PCMMI
