Re: is it a tipper or a hook lift truck
and as of 1600HRS this is where I am at with the rebuild of the truck
I have the trucks chassis running and have got the sound to work too, with the SMT mounted on the cabs interior and the RX in the windscreen, ( good job I painted the windows black) I am using a 40 MHz FM Robbe/futaba F16 8 channel TX/RX combo and it is ok, but I need to get a 2.4 gig radio for it but the cost is a bit too much at the moment the M20+ label on the front of the control board I replaced the glitching low-profile servo with a standard one and had to raise the motor and gearbox by 6mm using some bronze bushing with a flat filled on them to get them to fit under the gearbox mounting lugs Spaghetti in the cab LOL rolling chassis with the cab fitted |

Re: is it a tipper or a hook lift truck
been a busy boy today I have got the battery holder fitted and the M20+, the BMA boards down the side of the battery holder plus all of the lights working just got to transplant the hydraulic system and the hook lift gear from the old chassis to the new one LOL
rear light cluster being modified with plasticard insert that were drilled out to fit the 3mm LEDs from the outside to the centre, we have the Indicator LED, Rear LED, Brake LED and Reversing LED light clusters re-fitted to the truck Chassis and as you can see I threaded the wires into heat shrink tubing ( a lot easier than the tamiya offering because they don't have plugs on them) wires ready to be fitted to the M20+ board and you can see where I mounted the BMA and M20+ boards front Bumper with the LEDs fitted and as the rear lights we have from tha outside to the middle Indicator, Side light and main beam again with the wires in heat shrink tubing wiring up the lights I got the rear indicators the wrong way around LOL so had to swap them over LOL rear lights and Rotating beacons test |

Re: is it a tipper or a hook lift truck
the transplant of the hydraulics went like clockwork and it fitted fine, just got to wire up the pump to the BMA board and plug in the servos that control the valves and it should run OK

I forgot to add that I had removed the three speed gearbox and servo and fitted one of these single speed gearboxes with the smallest pinion on the motor |

Re: is it a tipper or a hook lift truck
Very nice Merc! I really like that scaleart pump, might have to switch mine on my roll on/off truck. I also just realized that I have 3 BMA's that I have not installed yet after seeing yours .

back to the truck I bought a New 2.4 Gig flysky 9 channel radio with a 8 channel receiver radio for the truck because the F16 40MHz FM radio was glitching like there was no tomorrow and as you can see it arrived today pictures of the new radio it looks like they have taken an older 35 MHZ radio and converted it to 2.4 GHz with a module plugged into the back of it It only took me four hours to enable the 4 channels that are not on the sticks to the various knobs and switches on the unit Grrrrr, why they can't make a 8 or 9 channel radio that is simple to use is beyond me instead of having to use an aircraft radio, just got to set the truck and radio up again, oh well there goes the rest of the day LOL |

Re: is it a tipper or a hook lift truck
That is quite a set up you have there! I can't wait to see the finished truck! I also bought an RC plane radio, but they are great!

Re: is it a tipper or a hook lift truck
I have fitted a smarty parts programming board that arrived today and I have re-flashed the firmware in the TX for a better version than the original firmware
also fitted a Hobbyking backlight a month a go and it now switches off by using a spare switch on the tx (allocated by the Er9X firmware) just got to work out how the firmware operates the TX now, also I have recalibrated the radio using the set up options in the TX |

Re: is it a tipper or a hook lift truck
I have decided to replace the silver aluminium front bumper on the skip truck with another aluminium one, that I got from Rigid RC it is similar to the tamiya original one, the reason is to protect the steering servo on rough ground and grass, I also blanked out the lower light inboard of the outer ones
old bumper new bumper the Mercedes 4* 2 tractor has an aluminium bumper fitted to but is slightly different as I got it from another supplier I also decided to replace the rear cab support with a metal one again from Rigid RC |

Re: is it a tipper or a hook lift truck
So do I, it is a lot better than the tamiya offering and you don't have to mess about trying to get a split pin into it to lock down the cab, all three of my trucks are fitted with the cab support/latch from rigidrc
