Pete Day cab dump truck
Just had to build one. They look soo cool, please keep in mind I am not a trucker in real life so I'm just going by what I think looks good, If I place something where it shouldn't go please just let me know and I'll do my best to fix it. Not gonna bore you with tons of pictures , we've all seen a KH kit, mine has a Wedico box and Hydraulics. Yes I know there are boxes out there that look better but I've got this thing almost a year ago. I wanted a tilting hood so lets cut the body. The bumpers front and back are aluminum to add some weight. N'uff said.
That's it for now until I figure out paint colors .

I love the tilt hood! Those wheels really look good too. That dump bed on the other hand... I'm just kidding! This truck is going to look awesome. Lots of dump trucks being built these days.
Keep the pictures coming! Reg |

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
Great looking truck so far Ayoub!
Someday I hope I can learn to cut styrene that clean. Nice work on the hood. The rear mudflap brackets suit the truck very nice. I may have to copy that if you don't mind are they PMD ? Another great dump truck build. thanks for sharing! Mario |

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
Found some time and decided to get cracking on the Pete again.
Hydraulics installed and tested, wired the servonaut electronics and sound , tilt hood hinge secured, built a new tool/battery box since space is limited with a day cab. I just wanna get it done so not gonna bother with too much detail work, I can always get back to it and add that stuff. That's all for now. Thanks for looking. Ayoub

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
beautiful tool box I love hiding electronics in them! truck is looking great, what battery did you use in there? Its nice and tiny, will it power the whole truck? and how much run time are you thinking of getting out of it?

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
Thank you! The battery is powering the whole truck. It is a Turnigy 11.1v 4000mah 3s, I got like 6 of them from ebay, I used it on my 8x4 and got a total of 1.5hrs of run time with sound, lights and beacons. Charged it back up and only took 2300mah to fully charge it up again. I never let them hit voltage cut-off just to be safe.
