On June 18th some Texas folks are getting together with some RC construction equipment and trucks to play around. I'm stoked about running my Peterbilt with some other rigs so that was enough...

Re: How many of you guys are in Texas?

Oh, sorry! It's in Kendalia, TX. I think it's about 50 miles south(ish) of Austin.

Beautiful! What kind of trailer is that? I'm looking into one, but the Tamiya flatbed looks awfully short.

Re: New King Hauler

Nice looking rig! Love the grill. I'm waiting for Semi Joe to get more in stock so I can finish up my Pete. Do you have anything else planned or is it about done?

Thanks, Chris!

I picked up a tiny bulb R&R tool from ebay and it looks to be working like a charm. Thanks! :)

Earlier, Chris asked about the paint I used. It's all just Dupli-Color from the local auto parts store: Bahama Blue and Arctic/Dover White. The white is definitely a...

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
