Thanks Arron.. I am have been in the Rc hobby since I was 12 and I am 37 now and the last 13 years I have been into semis so some things are easier for me you would be surprised I bet you could build it pretty fast too 95% of the parts were cut on my table saw and miter box..

Re: K100 day Cab Cracker Box

Little Short Video of the KW I have all the detail done now just have to finish up the lights.. I am running a R2 tranny with a 55 turn with 19 tooth little faster than a 55 turn on a 3 speed in first gear.. Also running a 2 cell lipo.

Re: K100 day Cab Cracker Box

That thing looks awesome Paul. Brings back some memories. Put a coffin sleeper on it and paint it two tone blue and that's the old mans truck that I learned how to drive.

Re: K100 day Cab Cracker Box

Paul, I would put a couple round lights in the back. I'm not sure about a full light bar?

Re: K100 day Cab Cracker Box

Thanks much Frank..

Mike that would be a cool looking truck to build.

Brian that is what I'm thinking little stainless plate with 2 lights and a set of white flaps with chrome hangers.

Re: K100 day Cab Cracker Box

Thanks Much man I really like the little squirt too its lots of fun to drive and pulls like a mule..!

Re: K100 day Cab Cracker Box

Highly detailed, love the paint scheme. I bet it's a nice truck when backing up trailers :)

Re: K100 day Cab Cracker Box

a true yanker not a puller!!

Re: K100 day Cab Cracker Box

great job on the Cracker Box ! I'm new to the site and am very much a cab over fan! The Globe Liner is gonna be my fist project. I'll be trans forming it also into a K-100. So I'll probably be a pain in you know what for asking dumb questions and measurments and stuff. Keep up the great workmanship!
Rookie.

Re: K100 day Cab Cracker Box

as always paul you never fail to amaze me.i remember those as a tandem back in the 70's pulling texaco tankers around the city .they were the cracker box or slab cab as i heard them called also...good job,i would be a little claustophobic driving that for fear that if i hit a rock it would trip the truck on its nose:p

Re: K100 day Cab Cracker Box

Well, I didn't necro bump it, but you picked a good one to revive :D

Thanks 404.. Should never worry about digging up old threads mine or anyone else its good to bring them back to the top sometimes that is the only way new people will every find them. And new members should never worry about what someone may say if you dig up a old thread there is nothing wrong with doing so.

Re: K100 day Cab Cracker Box

Great job on the truck, I love the old school look. The colors look great.
