Day cab dump truck
I am building another day cab cab over dump truck but this one will just be a tandem drive and the shortest cab I could make. When I am done with this one it will be for sale.
Specs 1: Converted Globe Liner 2: 3 speed trans with Integy 4:1 3: Tazer 12T ESC and a 55 turn motor (stock motor is used only for mock up) 4: 2 1600Mah batteries in parallel for good run time 5: Hitec 645MG servos for steering and shift 6: Custom front rims with Tamiya SS, stock rear rims and tires with RC4WD hubs 7: Bushings through out only bearings are in the 4:1 NO bearings used in the rest of the truck. They are just not needed in our trucks + if a bushing gets worn you still get to play but if a bearing fails you are done to you replace it and most just buy the cheap $20-$30 bearing kits which are a wast of money anyway. 8: RCE220 RC Small Dual Relay Switch to control the screw drive motor 9: Carson 50:1 gear motor to operate the screw drive 10: My own custom screw drive 11: Styrene bed 12: color will be ????? Well here are the pics of what I have so far. http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/s...p/100_0993.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/s...p/100_0994.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/s...p/100_0995.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/s...p/100_0997.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/s...p/100_0999.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/s...p/100_0998.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/s...p/100_1001.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/s...p/100_1007.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/s...p/100_1006.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/s...p/100_1003.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/s...p/100_1004.jpg Thanks for looking.

Re: Day cab dump truck
Thanks for the compliment guys. I think the cab has had enough mod for me and I hope to start painting the truck this weekend.

Re: Day cab dump truck
Thanks Straywolf I appreciate the ideas.
I have made a little more progress on this build. I now have the tailgate, splash pan, and rear bumper to finish then it will be ready for filler and paint. I have most of the electronics in the truck and hooked up I just need the ESC for the screw drive and the main power switch. I did something a little different this time and added a main power switch and a charging jack so the batteries can stay in the truck and charging it is a simple plug and play. Enough talk here are some pics. http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/s...p/100_1019.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/s...p/100_1022.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/s...p/100_1024.jpg Travis |
