Reg. With the other two trucks in the same picture you have a better idea how big that KW is.. Love that big scale. would like to see it in person..

It's a big truck for sure. I really like the realism that the larger scale provides. Driving around a truck that runs empty without the trailer @36 pounds is pretty cool. Loaded with logs the truck and trailer way in at well over 100 pounds. The suspension works very well with that kind of weight and the tires have some scale squish to them too. My Hayes has some decent detail and I think turned out pretty good from a looks standpoint but it sure doesn't look very scale while driving on anything but smooth surfaces. Tire size has a lot to do with this as well of course!

Thanks to everyone for the compliments on the truck!

I was looking through this thread the other day and it reminded me of all the effort it took to build this truck! This is definitely the most complex thing I have ever made and quite possibly always will be. It's funny how a year can go by and our memories of certain things start to fade. Anyway, I was thinking about again today and when I stopped for lunch I decided to see if I could make a video of the build pictures. It's hard to believe that over 6 months of work can be compressed into 16 minutes worth of pictures. It's kind of sad really!
