Re: You can stop building trucks now, Tamiya Grand Hauler.
Thinking better to drill a new hole for the king pin and keep the fenders. The king pin plate on the trailer is large enough for more hole position. Just an idea.

Re: You can stop building trucks now, Tamiya Grand Hauler.
Or just go with a wireless kit like SS-Tronix and then you don't have to worry about that big bulky trailer piece that Tamiya uses for the motorized leg kit.

Re: You can stop building trucks now, Tamiya Grand Hauler.
Hello everyone, I have been absent for quite a while, and after seeing this, I have ambition to build again. I agree with putting on IHB's wheels, and I think all in all it's not bad. I WILL be getting one of these when Tower Hobbies gets them in stock.

Re: You can stop building trucks now, Tamiya Grand Hauler.
Looks OK. I'm just disappointed they're once again remodeling the King Hauler.
After they brought out the Cascadia, I was in hopes they'd broaden the selection and develop other "American" truck icon replicas; perhaps in the near future. Here's a Tamiya Grand Hauler video posted by TRUCKSandDetails. - RCT

Re: You can stop building trucks now, Tamiya Grand Hauler.
I think you may be right Travis. So I'll keep checking on Tower Hobbies, and when they have a due date I will pre order one. That way I'm guaranteed one. I did this a few weeks ago with the container trailer, and I got one.

All-in-all, I think that Tamiya has brought us another WINNING COMBINATION. When it comes to the stores, it won't sit on shelves for long. If you get the opportunity to own one, I suggest you make the purchase. - RCT

Re: You can stop building trucks now, Tamiya Grand Hauler.
I think it's a step in the right direction. Yes it's a restyled KH but I think they did a lot of little things that make it stand apart from a KH. Hopefully they will continue the trend with another classic American looking truck. Is the globeliner going to be overhauled next?

Re: You can stop building trucks now, Tamiya Grand Hauler.
This is great for guys like myself who do living room building. A few custom parts and paint and you have a custom rig. Very nice.

Re: You can stop building trucks now, Tamiya Grand Hauler.
Check out the very end of this video. Looks as if Tamiya is doing the older style unimog body. Looks really cool.

Re: You can stop building trucks now, Tamiya Grand Hauler.
Tower Hobbies has announced the Grand Hauler should be in stock late March. And they have it listed for $603.99...Can we say late birthday present for me?
