Re: Gotta start somewhere Globe liner and 3 axil Trailer
Was able to do a bit more this weekend.
I can drive it around... (still plenty to do) Working on the CAB painting now... Now I really have to descide what color!!!... playing with a black and silver but not sure I like it. A few pictures (still all stock).... (I swiped an ESC from another car till I decide if I will add the MFU or not) thanks for watching... Jeff |

Re: Gotta start somewhere Globe liner and 3 axil Trailer
Looks good man I agree on the cummins colors and if you do decide to go with a MFU you may as well go with a servonaut unit, way better in my book. Although it was a little more expensive it was well worth it

Re: Gotta start somewhere Globe liner and 3 axil Trailer
Yeah looking good! Nice radio too, but it won't work if you go with an MFU, you'll need something with analog trims. Not sure about the Servonaut unit as I have never used one, that may work with digi trims. Someone who knows better should be able to advise you there.

Re: Gotta start somewhere Globe liner and 3 axil Trailer
My dx5e has digital trims and it works with my mfu. Is tricky sometimes but works ok.

Re: Gotta start somewhere Globe liner and 3 axil Trailer
Well it will work, but don't you have to keep tappin the digi trim to get all the way over? I guess it can work, but is not recommended because it's slow, you can't just flick the trim over to change function.

Re: Gotta start somewhere Globe liner and 3 axil Trailer
Hi,
So yea,,, I think I jumped the gun on the Radio.. but wanted something nice with multiple models.. Ill have to try it with an MFU when I get one see how it works... (If I dont like guess I have to get a different radio). So been driving it around the house the last few days... Still trying to decide what color I should make it.. Gonna start with the cab.. then work on other parts like the transmission - then maybe the frame... I think I try to start on the trailer this weekend too Thanks for all the details and comments With any luck I'll make some painting and trailer progress this weekend and post some additional pics... (there are sure a lot of parts in the trailer) Loving this form! Jeff Last edited by RCLaser; 04-20-2012 at 06:35 AM.

Re: Gotta start somewhere Globe liner and 3 axil Trailer
Hi All,
Some slow progress. Been working on the Trailer - And also proving once again I have no Painting - finishing skills. The cab is still in the painting process - gonna be here awhile... Pretty sure at this point that the top of the cab will be White!!!... still thinking about the rest Just stuck on the cab to I could enjoy a little stick time and see what it looks like with the first part of the trailer attached. Yep ... again not to the step for the wheels to be mounted but I mounted them any way.. just couldn't wait A picture !! (man this thing is gonna be big... ) Regards, Jeff |

Re: Gotta start somewhere Globe liner and 3 axil Trailer
No painting or finishing skills...Well from what I can tell, the white looks smooth and glossy, and I think you did a fine job.Don't cut yourself short, and keep up the good work.

Re: Gotta start somewhere Globe liner and 3 axil Trailer
Thanks dabears. I like this color combo so much that I am really hesitating to put any of the stickers on... I think I’ll keep it like this for a while...
If a fellow showed up at a meet with no DOT stickers would he be allowed in? Jeff |

Re: Gotta start somewhere Globe liner and 3 axil Trailer
Well......that turned out REALLY well, considering you were so concerned about your painting skills, i'd say you have nothing to worry about. Great job.

Re: Gotta start somewhere Globe liner and 3 axil Trailer
Thanks Swagger...
The quality of the builds on this Forum are amazing....I have a ways to go .. - this is one of the things that makes this RC Field very exciting for me There are a few minor flaws in the painting but this is the best I have done so far and the next one will be even better with what I have learned/tried this time..... (I used the laser to cut out the Wolf/Moon image) For now as long as the camera is not too close and the JPG DPI is low it looks pretty good. Over all I am very encouraged and already thinking about another Truck...(gotta finish my trailer first) Driving this thing around is great.. and boy does it turn heads.... Maybe I can drag a few more people into RC Truck and construction world... The guys at one of the local hobby shops want me to bring it in when the trailer is complete so they can take some pictures for their stores and sites. I hope to be posting more Trailer updates soon Regards, Jeff |
