Re: Pigeonfarmboys 8x6 King Dump Truck
 

Nah, not Freddy, I think it's one of them high performance machines that don't even need tires.:p

Lookin good Fred cant wait to see it and must I say when I read it was gonna be black I immediately thought of ACDC's Back In Black.:cool:

Re: Pigeonfarmboys 8x6 King Dump Truck
 

Oh man Freddy, you don't mess around! I ordered up the other parts you'll need to complete and get them out to you as soon as I get my grubby little hands on em!

Can't wait to get this thing dirty! (The black will show it better! haha)

Re: Pigeonfarmboys 8x6 King Dump Truck
 

Actually,I was waiting on a parts order from Japan,but since a large part of it is gone. I'm now waiting on kits.Don't know if I'll live long enough to see the parts order.
Rocknmayham,I myself find it easier to work on it with out the rubber in the way.
Yea Spudd,I probably will go broke pay'en you for paint work now.:p
Edwalsh,won't have pics for you till this babies done. She's a one of a kind.:D At least for me so far.

Impessive Indeed, The builds on this site never cease to amaze me, Great build can't wait for more!

Re: Pigeonfarmboys 8x6 King Dump Truck
 

Wow i like the lift axle...

Re: Pigeonfarmboys 8x6 King Dump Truck
 

Freddy you killed it on that lift axle. I will have to remember that when I look at adding one to my hauler. Hope you don't mind if I kinda work off your idea.

Re: Pigeonfarmboys 8x6 King Dump Truck
 

Very excited sir! Does the servo lock into place or is the axle being held by the servo power when in the down position? Just wondering about servo power draw/heat issues eventually.

Re: Pigeonfarmboys 8x6 King Dump Truck
 

Freddy, Is the lift axle going to be steerable? Self-centering?

Re: Pigeonfarmboys 8x6 King Dump Truck
 

Ingenious lifting mechanism on that lift axle, Fred. I was kind of stumped on how to lift mine, on my Wedico, after going through all the trouble to give it a full range of travel, and retain the floating ability, but you've got it figured out pretty nicely. Good work on that!

Re: Pigeonfarmboys 8x6 King Dump Truck
 

I Love it Freddy -well done!

Re: Pigeonfarmboys 8x6 King Dump Truck
 

great job Freddy.keep it up.
