Something I have been building in the cloud...
Ok so it is not a actual truck per se, but more of a cloud build for everyone to enjoy.
This is a work in progress and just starting so all of the details are not ironed out yet. Lets call this a alpha test and looking for feedback. So if you go to our King Hauler page http://www.tamiyausa.com/items/radio...g-hauler-56301 You will see a new tab called "OPTIONS". Click it and you will now see a reference with the King Hauler and each trailer. it will give you lengths Front bumper to 5th wheel on truck 5th wheel coupler to rear of trailer and over all complete length It also gives you a nice graphic of what the truck looks like hooked up to each trailer. My goal is to have this for all trucks so if you are on the globeliner page it would show the globeliner with each trailer and so on. What are your thoughts? I'd like to grab customer feedback that uses this product. Thanks, Joe |
Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
Just an update, I changed the tab name from OPTIONS to "TRAILERS"

Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
I think it a great idea as people are always asking for truck measurements,
one thing I think might be useful as well is including the length of the truck cab bodies... Cheers Tracy |
Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
I like it. I think it's pretty kool. I understand the metric measurements are standard practice. But is there anyway to add the lengths in inches? In my opinion people don't realise how cool these trucks are until the realise the size and how large they actually are.

Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
First off I like your build forums, they're great.
I like the length diagrams, but as previously said, is it possible to also give full length of truck included (bumper to bumper), and a possible option to click to get measurements in inches. |
Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
Thank you, something that has been as bone of contention for years. Now some real measurements
|
Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
Thanks everyone, and some great ideas. Though I can not say if they will make it to the final release, I will look into it.
On the dimensions of the products full length, that can be found under the specs tab. |
Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
Ok check the flatbed, hover over it. I added a little something.
|
Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
Ok a little update, all king hauler versions and grand hauler pages are complete
|
Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
Thanks for letting people from this forum express their opinions on your pending web pages. While it would be nice to see dimensions in inches, most people can translate mm to inches if they have built anything RC before.
This should come be very handy for everyone who is thinking of buying a rig or scratch-building one. Thanks, again. |
Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
AWESOME info. This helps to understand the "look" before ya buy. Good thinking.

Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
I have added a new feature of buttons at the bottom of the page which will allow you to see the tractor/trailer illustration in mm or in. (only working on king hauler page right now)
I'll take it that is what you were all looking for. |

Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
This is fantastic; we should do a thread with all of your links in one place. There is so much info it is unbelievable, data about the trucks, trailers, and build threads.

Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
Here is a sneak peek at a trailer product page with "Tractors" tab.

Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
This is great! I was scanning down, seeing the different size trucks in progression, got to the bottom and noticed you put in metric and inch. Very nice! A lot easier than going and converting.
|
Re: Something I have been building in the cloud...
Ok so now that all the trucks tabs are done, the trailers have started.
