Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

I was lucky enough to buy some of FGD's unfinished projects, I hope My completion of them is worthy of what he started.

Here is my T800 dump I'm working on, I picked up the FGD frame and dump body a few months ago. Added some 1.9 Mil Spec tires and RC4WD rims, added a KingHauler day cab, (thanks Paul). Cut the nose off and added a 3D printed T800 nose. Made some tanks and a bumper, installed Servonaut SMX and ESC.

Lookin good! The nose looks sweet, how is the quality and the detail?

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

That's awesome!!! your tanks look sweet buddy awesome job!

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Thats right at the top of the dump truck crowd, very unique! Cant wait to see it painted and in operation, curious to see it articulate.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

cool idea

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Cool unique build Keith, nice work!

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Mean looking six wheeler and all wheel drive! It should climb hills pretty good. I like it...

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Great start! reminded me of the Canadian Rubber Railroad Corporation Trucks, http://hankstruckforum.com/htforum/i...?topic=41191.0

Cheer's, Neil.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

thats a nice setup.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Just when I thought all the dump truck builds going on couldn't get any more amazing!:D
Definitely the coolest looking Wiggle Wagon I've ever seen :cool:

Does the cab clear the box corners in full turn position? :confused::eek:

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

That thing is wild. What a great idea. Cant wait to see it in action. Good job Keith.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Thanks Reg, appreciate it.

Thanks Wayne, I'll post a video tonight.


Thanks Brian, quality and detail could be a little better, would be nice if it was a little thicker material and printed with a polished finish. Having said that after a little body work it looks pretty good.

Thanks Aaron, appreciate the comment.

Wow, thanks TRUCKMAKER. Should get it painted this weekend if it warms up a bit. I'll post a video tonight of it articulating and dumping.

Thanks Fired up.

Thanks Scott, appreciate the comment.

Thanks Lmack, it definitely has some climbing and pulling power.

Thanks Neil, I'll check that link out.

Thanks ryderr6

Thanks Mario, the box corners and stacks clear by about an 1/8" when fully articulated either way.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Thanks Fred, a video should be posted tonight.:bounce::bounce:

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Here's a short video of it running.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

works great!!! Awesome truck buddy!

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

That thing is a bad ***


Wayne

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

really cool idea!

how tight can it turn?

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

What's the box length?

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Thanks Aaron.


Thanks Wayne.

I would say a little tighter than my other steer axle dumps, I'll check this weekend.


Joe, it's a 18" box

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

This is a cool looking truck. The hood looks awesome. With it having an articulated center joint, is that the sole means of steering the truck now, or are you going to combine the articulated joint with a steerable front axle too, and tighten up the turning radius even more? Those rims and tires are killer looking, by the way!

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Thanks for the comment, right now it's just the articulating for steering, I do have a TLT steer axle I can throw in there but the steering radius is pretty close to a stock king hauler. I love the rims as well, I have the same ones on my 1/14 8x8 Hemtt I built a few months ago.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Got the cab painted last night and threw it on. Lights and a little trim left.

Turned out great! A definent beast!

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

I think you have honoured Freddy very well Keith. Great job! :cool:

Mario

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

you never know, they all get sold sooner or later. LOL

Thanks TM

Thanks hippy.

Thanks Mario, I'm really happy with it.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Looks great in color Keith!

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

You sure do bang em out fast... and always 1st Class work. :cool:

I'll be watching for it in the BST (don't post it during the summer!)

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Thanks Aaron,

Thanks Joe, I'll keep you posted on the BST. Lol

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Thats a cool truck nice work. what is the turning radius?

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

That's just insane Keith , definitely a one off build


Alfy

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

You waste no time! That turned out nice. Very unique. The look with those tires and wheels is awesome.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Thanks 22, its just about the same as a standard steering dump. The frame is a little longer with the 18" box on it so its not as tight as a shorter ten wheeler.

Thanks Alfy.

LOL, yeah I think I have adhd or abcd or something, but for some reason I always need to power through and get things finished. I have the same tires and rims on my 1/14 Hemtt, I love the look.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Added a center working tongue lift, and added lights to it.

Still need to replace the axles and tires, then add the ramps.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

Whoops, posted the last set of pics on the wrong thread.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
 

That is a great looking truck! Im sure Freddy would be proud.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump
