Sweet! Love Steve's fuel tanks :cool:

Re: bigfords trucks
 

:rolleyes:....actually, it also happens when I see several other machines on this forum. At my age, just happy to see it still happens at all ! :lol::lol:

Im already having sleepless nights worrying about making sure I've done all I can ( within reason :) ) to be sure everyone has a great time and wants to come back!:D

Funny you ask about fireworks. Ive always wanted to try using some of those fire crackers ? not sure the proper name for them but, they look like little sticks of dynamite with a fuse and they go bang. I figured might work great to simulate a blast of a bench in the open pit but we cant get them here in Canada anymore.:(
I was going to ask one of you guys to bring some up with you but I would hate to see any of you get in trouble at the border trying to smuggle contra band explosives into the country.:eek::cop:

There is a fire works store just minutes from my place and im sure we can set a few off ( depending on if there's a fire ban on in August ) So I leave it up to you guys if you want to bring your own or just use what's available up here in Canada.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Looking good love the drop deck looks great behind that cab over nice job

Re: bigfords trucks
 

thank you sir!!
some d11 pics in your thread would be cool

Re: bigfords trucks
 

truck 15 now have a 4:1 gru installed thanks to big john!
had to order a front drive shaft. its always something

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Is that your first 4:1 reduction? If so, you will probably end up with one in every truck, in my opinion one of the best things you can do to these trucks is slow them down. I also like a gear reduction better than a high turned motor and small pinion, seems like you get better control with the gear reduction unit.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

claus
yup its my first 4:1 its from rc4wd with one of there 65t motors.
I think i'll get one of pmd's globe liner gru's to try next. in low
the trucks are slow enough I want grunt power for the lowboys to
pull the d11's

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Very good Sir. that will Haul *** Now when we expand our fleet we ned to give them identification numbers.....like it.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Is that a Freddybuilt trailer??

Re: bigfords trucks
 

I'm interested to see how the RC4WD GRU does for you and how you like it, hate to say it but I have heard they have a tendency to not last long and lock up. Good luck.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

that could be a problem with a 100+ pound d11 on the trailer:eek:
sneff yup I bought the fgd trailer off of benny a few months ago

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Awesome!! I remember when he was building that.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

same here. I always wanted something freddie built and this came up.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Is that the elusive dozer from Utah ? Good catch

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Very cool dozer! That's an awesome looking machine. Is that a Barebones? What did FedEx do now?

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Also hard to tell from the photos but is the front of the deck on the lowboy dragging the ground? Need more springs on the truck and trailer? Maybe go solid mount, have Steve or Russ or somebody mill up something that looks like springs but are solid but keep the axle articulation?

Re: bigfords trucks
 

the axles are on the bump stops and the nose of the trailer was about a credit card
thickness off the ground. I need to do up the springs on the sleeper truck as
that is the one set up for this lowboy.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Mark, just a thought, have are you familiar with Russ's truck Sour Diesel? He used a 775 can motor, planetary gearbox and LiPO pushing 25V for a truck pull. He posted a video of him smoking that motor but maybe less volts and a lighter trigger finger would be a good setup for moving heavy iron like that?

Read about Sour Diesel here;

Re: bigfords trucks

Re: bigfords trucks

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Great job! Trailer looks that much more real looking with the stickers on.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

mac's not shy about putting there logo all over the trailer that's for sure!!

I added a BIG new dent on the 1:1 yesterday but I think i'll pass on that detail
