Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Started painting it today..


Black frame ,Mack green cab and hood with black fenders, dark gray box,

Need to put one more coat of green on the hood and then I will mask off the fenders to get a clean edge.

Next issue will be getting rid of these white budds and put on some real work truck wheels...Spokes!

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

trucks looking good! Are you the guy that made that body or did you just buy it off shapeways? either way its looking excellent just curious. keep up the good work.

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Thanks guys....

The aluminum bar stock under the box are 20mm tall by 7mm?(same width of stock frame rail)


I did not make this cab. I bought it off eBay. It's a shapeways cab and hood.


Here is a pic of the progress tonight,

Man I love this Mack, very nice job. Love the detail.

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

she is looking good! just looked through the thread again and found the measurements lol.

thanks for the video of it lifting to! looks really good. Any idea what your RPM and gear ratio is for the motor/gear box?

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

That's a cool Truck I will be keeping an eye on this build!
Thanks
Bo

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

The truck looks excellent! Great job on the build. Really like the old school paint.

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Man! That is one sharp looking work horse.

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Added a few more things today... New tread off road tires for the rears, I locked the forward tandem so now both are locked in full time... It still turns good surprisingly. Added my spare set of exclusive rc Mack mud flaps. Made the glass for the cab, installed mirrors visor and front radiator guard. New side boards for the box.

I Hauled some salt and snow with it and it does pretty good thru snow. Need to put some chains on the box for spreading salt better.

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Looks awesome! Nice job

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Looks awesome buddy!!!! Definitely looks alot better since you painted the wheels!!!

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Superb job on the R, 10 stars! :cool:

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Sweet job bud, that mack looks great.

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Been busy working but had some time to help design some 3D spoke wheels. These are a preliminary test design. Few more adjustments and they will be a boot on and go wheel. Also We were unsure of the strength with 3D plastic....so far so good. They are strong and plenty fine for normal use...time will tell how they hold up in off road use....they have dimples where the wheel lugs go and you can drill and tap for a 2mm or smaller stud/nut... Thinking we may make a plug cap to hide the nut or just use a chrome snap cap for a hub cover. It really will look the part when done. rears will be next.

I know most people like aluminum budds but this is kind cool to have old school wheel options.

Also got some new MACK emblems Installed

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

When I think of older Mack trucks this what I think of!!!! You nailed it!!!! Wheels look authentic, great job man!

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Keeps getting better with every update. Keep those pics coming. Good job.

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Great job capturing all the fine details of the old school Mack K.U.T.G.W= keep up the good work

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Thumbs up brings back to many memories, of the 70's when I was learning to run a dump truck, and the reason I went over the road to get away from them...LOL If you are a big guy they were not fun to drive...

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

fantastic job , the wheels really make it....

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

That looks great!!!
I remember these hauling slag out of the steel mills
in the Mon-valley. They were everywhere

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Ok a quick question, where did you get the Mack badges and name from?

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Let me search for the link.....

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

very nice!!!

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

had some nice weather today (45*) sigh....

Here is a quick vid of it running around the yard with 3 bricks in the bed. it did pretty good for the wet grass/mud my front yard has with all the melting snow.

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Very nice model! The suspension seems to work well...

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Very nice looking rig and outstanding job on the wheels!

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

I got to thank Lmackattach for letting me drive this at the RT&C Mid-west spring meet at Eli feild last weekend. Not only does this truck look good it is fun to drive, goes through anything, the bed speed is great, it"ll haul what ever you put in it, 2 hours disappeared off the clock just having fun with it! However you really shouldn't let a first time loader driver (RC anyway) load it, I almost ripped the cab off with the bucket :o which is when I told them to take the radio away from me :(.

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

I have a question do any of you guys think it is possible to make a single axle dump ,with a locked axle . Thanks in advance Mike

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

grind out under the door sills and cave in the roof add all around rust
and that would be an exact replica of the r model I use to drive:jaw:

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

being 3D printed, did you have to sand it down to get rid of the stepping look from the printer?

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
 

Glad you had fun. I agree the old truck was pretty good out in the off road.

A single axel dump truck with locked axel would be a beast. It will have more traction than a tandem would.



Old dogs rust away before they give out.
