King Hauler finally started
 

So after a few months of madness, Ive finally had some time to start building my King. Started out with a stretched 28" aluminum Frame, and a few aluminum parts instead of stock. My original intentions where to paint the frame blue, but then realized, there are alot of blue frames out there, so instead went with a shinned up aluminum, and scale bolts to dress it up a little.

Decided to go with a lowered aluminum axle, and futaba s3004 servos

I know its not really an overly exciting build so far, but its going to be spread over alot of time since my free time is almost non existent :( .. Im definitly looking forward to it though since its my first truck build.
Ive already bought the MFU-01 and a Spektrum 6i, along with battery , charger, LED's, and some spare sheeting,, so Im ready to go,,
be patient,, :D

Re: King Hauler finally started
 

Great start, I hear ya on the non-existent free time part. You are not alone in that area!

Re: King Hauler finally started
 

about time you started to build!! I was getting worried you lost interest
in the trucks

Re: King Hauler finally started
 

Keep the pics coming lookin great

Re: King Hauler finally started
 

nice start on your build.I see a lot of aluminium parts, will be looking forward to seeing more pics of it ;)

Re: King Hauler finally started
 

No worries Bigford, still here and definitely still interested...
Thanks everyone, really looking forward to getting more done, i love the way everything looks in the clean aluminum, just not ready to spend the money on axles and gear case just yet, maybe eventually.
I'll hopefully have new pics soon.

Re: King Hauler finally started
 

well where are the updates??

Re: King Hauler finally started
 

I get a big thumbs down,, havent made any progress since the last time I posted,, Everytime I go to get started something else comes up,, Ive completly taken over the dining room table, but nothing yet..

Re: King Hauler finally started
 

On the upside though, I ordered stacks from snochaser and Paul is making a grill for me,,

Re: King Hauler finally started
 

Builds with a personal interpretation are always great to follow, no matter how long they take! Looking forward to the next updates.

Re: King Hauler finally started

Re: King Hauler finally started
 

Thanks RCT,,, Ive got lots of ideas,, and tons of good intentions,,, now I just need to apply myself....lol :D:D:D

Re: King Hauler finally started
 

1ST...I've recently "completed" my first build. I like you had a lot of things I wanted to do upfront. Instead I pulled back, did part of the modifications to begin with and got the truck running. Now I can slow down on my upgrades and still run my truck at the same time. Helps on burnout from trying to do a massive build right up front.

Re: King Hauler finally started
 

hey up
i cut the rear off the carson drop deck and refit
the deck. if you squint it looks like the landoll 930

Re: King Hauler finally started
 

Nice Bigford, I want to build a Landoll. I have a bit of an advantage though, I'm an Engineer for the company :). Now I just need to figure out how to make it a model. :thinking:

Soooo here is a quick little teaser mock up of the direction Im heading.. I know its not much , but I don't want everyone to think I've dropped out..
Criticism is definitely welcome, nothing is on there permanent yet.

smaller headlights and she will be looking mean

Re: King Hauler finally started
 

I agree with Bigford. I love the streetrod headlight on Petes, they just need to be a bit smaller.

This is the best looking set in my opinion: http://gardentrucking.com/details.tp...d#.VcqlY_lill0

Keep it up, looking good.
