Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

Thanks for posting those Frizzen! I'm a bit of a slacker when it comes to pictures! LOL!

The ZIS is a blast! I'm having a ball with it and it's "dubious" cargo. I have to get pictures of the 3 new barrels added to the "load" since Lebanon, they're full of some green stuff?
Yuri says he doesn't have to use the headlights much now because of the glow so it's all good! HAHAHAHA!!!

HHmmmmmm one lid didn't seal too good? Yuri says "It's nothing!"

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

Nice one

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

He'll be alright, Its over 6 feet away from him, plus it's behind him. The wind will keep everything away from his cab area! In case of a tail wind, he's got his safety bandana he can wrap it around his nose & mouth to prevent breathing it. It's all good :)

Now I just need a 1/12 scale bottle of vodka and a AK to lay on the seat and the interior will be complete!

Thank you very much, I will order this one for the toolbox

I have seen 1/12 whiskey bottles on ebay for dollhouses. So try to look there c ")

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

AWESOME, THANKS! Just ordered 2. Wouldn't want Yuri to run out of a vital safety supply!

I'm just running a stock Tamiya 540 size motor from a King Hauler kit. Had it laying around, speed is just about where I like it. Plenty of power for my driving and good battery life. I wouldn't go to a high turn motor unless you want really slow top speed. Somewhere between 27 and 45 turns should do fine.

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

I bought some 2mm scale bolts, and needed to buy a driver to tighten them up. I bought two of a similar-looking driver to what you posted (different company, though), and it also has a slim profile tip to reach into tight spaces. What I found was that if you try to tighten the bolt too much, the inside of that tapered part tends to round off and won't tighten the bolt at all any more. So after that, I bought these much sturdier ones: https://www.ebay.com/itm/SSD-RC-2mm-...EAAOSwQiFaebl9 Now I use the smaller-tipped one to set the bolt in place, and these thicker ones to tighten it. You may find that these larger sockets are difficult to fit into tight places, but on the bolts for the bed, space is not a problem. -Mike

Good, das ist vital protective fluid for Yuri.
Did you remove the cab rear-view mirror yet? (What's behind me is no longer important)

i love the nuke and biohazard barrels, good weathering already but some might need more rust!

In rc sparks video, he said something about the kit coming with a tool for the 2mm bolts.
Or the easy way is grab a fairly long socket-head screw with 2mm hex for the allen wrench, then turn it over. Maybe run a couple nuts on the screw, or make a brass handle if you feel fancy. Touch with a file if it has too much chamfer, or need closer access.

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

You can also tighten the threaded part of a 2mm hex screw in a pin vise and make your own nut driver.
Kind of surprised to hear sassgrunt say he rounded out a Wiha nut driver. I've used their tools for years and have never had that issue. And I'm talking about daily use in a machine shop.

Only mirrors are the big outside ones. Oh yeah, more rust is coming.

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

You are welcome....
He must have something to drink c")
I have an MST 35T engine to lie and I use it so

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

I've never heard of anything from Wiha that does not hold. Have more of their screwdriver and they are very good.

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

Yes, it is a Wiha. I don't know why it rounded off inside from over-torqueing instead of the head of the bolt, but it did. All I could think of is that metal of the tip is SO tapered, it must be thin enough to spread somewhat, (because it isn't split, like I figured it would be). After that happened, I bought a second one, and try not to overstress it. But, the fact that it did round out is the reason I bought the thicker, but more awkward ones.

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

It sounds wild .... I already have a 1.5mm and it has kept for 4x6 bolt in a set of wheels without problem.

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

I have ordered my King Kong truck c ")

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

I saw that King Kong is now selling the fuel tank and transmission as separate items. Since my build started off with just the cab kit and bed, this will help me out a lot. I wrote and asked them if they were going to start selling the rims at some point, and the responded that they had just listed them. So now these are available for our builds as well.

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

Great news Rene! Be sure to post pictures when you get it!

That's cool sassgrunt! I found their replacement hubs, front and rear, listed on evilbay too. Now if they'll just offer a ZIS 151 I can really tick the wife off! LOL

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

Thank you very much. Must try to remember to upload pictures.
Well, there are more loose parts for sale, yes, it's delicious if something should break with time.

Would like to share this news with you all, have it from King Kong RC.

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

That's what I've been waiting to hear! Thanks for the update Rene.

I apologize for not being on the forum much lately. Wife's little brother has colon cancer, we've been dealing with that.

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

Mustang, I'm sorry to hear, hope it's going well.
But yes it's a real go news.

Re: ZIS 150 Complete Kit
 

Sorry to hear that mustang, if you need someone to talk to, or to play trucks with to help get you out of your head, let me know. I've got family that's been wrestling with cancer for years.

F*** cancer.
