Re: insane 1st build
my biggest problem is tech problems with controlling and wire the lights up right!!
so if anyone can help me with that stuff... man that would be great!! I ordered a spectrum 8 channel and receiver that I realized I need to operate the flip up front bumper. then theres the extra trailer lights etc. |
Re: insane 1st build
MORE UPDATE PICS
So today I stole the grand hauler stacks and steps and put them on this tractor. WOW....did they make this tractor look even more lower and NASTIER! http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/z...pshwt7j11z.mp4 http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/z...pscl2zqe3g.jpg http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/z...psu5jb8ir4.jpg http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps8kxw87ou.jpg http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/z...psmj96oele.jpg http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/z...psjgjek8r5.jpg |
Re: insane 1st build
Wow man that thing looks bad. I Can't believe those steps and stacks are actually stock pieces from a stick tamiya kit. I say keep em on there.

Re: insane 1st build
This is one of my favorite large cars next to mine of course big sexy. Lol. Seriously man you are killing this build. You have alot of insane skills and great ideas. Not sure on your spread between your trailer axles but on my trailer we have a set of custom made tool boxes out of polished stainless that are functional and store the batteries that power trailer lights......Great work.

Re: insane 1st build
126happy insane build man cannot wait to see the paint on this bada$$ rig.:jaw:
What do you use for filler on body I want to clean up join lines on my knight. Cheers Rhys. |
Re: insane 1st build
hey thanks rhys, my new iwata spray gun is on its way. so when it gets here ill hopefully be ready yo paint.
as for fillers I like to use ...well.. 1. is Tamiya's putty white (item # 87095) and 2. is by Deluxe materials PERFECT PLASTIC PUTTY. with the perfect putty you can wet your finger and smooth it out, even the next day if needed. shaun tampa fl |
Re: insane 1st build
Anytime shaun, credit where credit is due.
Hopefully that will be soon lol. Going by the choices of colours I see this is going to be a paint scheme to beat. Cheers for the heads up have used tamiya putty before but its like spreading toothpaste haha. Might try automotive filler I have and see how it goes. Thanks again Cheers Rhys. |

Re: insane 1st build
This is looking amazing, I might have missed it, but where did you get your plastic for your trailer roof, walls and floor Panels?
"This is one of my favorite large cars next to mine of course big sexy. Lol. TONY" The main difference between a "Big Truck" and a "Large Car" is; a Big Truck does what it can, and a Large Car does what it wants. |
Re: insane 1st build
126happy, those headlight/turn signals are awesome, you knocked it out of the park!
