Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

First test run of the bridge done.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Looking good! Maybe next a typical New England built-in bridge?

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thank You, Emil, This is the bridge one mile fro me. I will try that, going to be fun seeing trucks get stuck in that one :lol:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

I'll make this one, with open sides, so we don't lose a truck or two. :D

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Hehe, we have no trucks to loose ;)

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Love how the bridges are looking
The covered bridge would look cool, but might shutdown the city for a while until someone figures out how to do a blind 50-point tuurn

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks, Frizzen, Well the cowered bridge will be a slight bit modified from the picture above, but still one lane. Already started cutting some wood while I was at it with the first bridge, some bits have the same measurements so the sawmill is singing and dust flying.:D

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

I CAN'T lie, a covered wooden bridge similar to the one pictured gets me excited!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks, Skeeter, Need to transport more stuff from the sawmill.

All good, no tire fell off, but super sticky on the concrete floor, I think gluing is a must. O well, I'm going to make a few sets of white rims now,

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Done!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

My helper Chuck was too small, Had to make a holder for the job. Note the countersunk screw, that sucker will self-center the rim and hold it snug for the operation.

Job is done,

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

I'm loving the creativity, making regular rims work as super solo rims!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks, Skeeter, Yes I like to make stuff the easiest way possible but not give up on functionality and performance. I am very pleased with these tires, they look good and the traction on loose surfaces is way better than other tires tested, I think they will be the ultimate choice for dump trucks and trailers.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

And now This!

Trailer Wheels.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

So when are you going to take a picture of the super wide front shot?

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

i know i have been out of rc for a wile. where/when did white wheel come in?

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Right after, I de-chromed 50 pairs of rims. No, I have no clue, all of sudden they were there, on the evil buy. I think a year or two on the market by now.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

A bit more customizing has to be done, Trying to find the time , too much real work right now.

Made it in a hurry, still need some finishing and paint. Ballast bed Works well, so no significant changes.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks for that Bo!
Quite similar to how I set up my 1:1 truck, I normally strap a sleeper under the rear end to support the back and stop it bouncing.

I was thinking swappable bodies would cut down on the amount of trucks i'd need to build haha!
