PACIFIC P12W3
This is my first scratch built truck. It took me one year to get this far so more will come slow and steady. Most Pacific trucks were custom built, the idea is to take from that and add options to my liking. This will be heavy haul winch truck. some inspiration.

Re: PACIFIC P12W3
Nice start! I wondered what you were building that was so heavy! What are the rear diffs from?

Re: PACIFIC P12W3
It has 3 frame rails bent as c channel from 22 gauge galvinized stock. inside rails are one inside the other with 3rd rail outside. 1 inch tall by 1/4 inch wide.
Drive is Tamiya standard 3 speed then a split shaft pto 1:1 then an RC4WD R2 two speed. i like the speeds and torque is plenty. i have sheared two drive pins on test pushes so far. and had to switch from plastic to metel gears in the 1:1 motor combiner. Rear and front suspension are scratch built front leafs are from Tamiya F 350 rear leafs are scratch built.

Re: PACIFIC P12W3
Thanks, I want to build an 850 Kenworth but it will be 1/10 scale to match my other stuff so I may have to make my own diffs. It would be nice if I could find something large enough that worked though instead.
Keep the pictures coming! |

Re: PACIFIC P12W3
Just a question. Is there any movement in the front suspension. It looks like there is not shackle, so it can never give. Or am I wrong. Definetly interesting build. Like the look of these trucks.
Thanks Cody |

Re: PACIFIC P12W3
Cool truck, it looks like it will be a monster.
How are you finding the Blackwells? I have always wanted to get some, they look so **** nice, but the $$$ is pretty steep for me, are they worth the coin? Are they rock solid? |

Re: PACIFIC P12W3
Yes there is movement and only one anchor. the front top 2 leafs of spring bundle are straight and sliding on a derlin block. rear of top spring is looped and bolted.
