Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane
Well i think its time to show my T-cab Scania. This truck was originally thought as just a simple dumptruck like this.
So i bought a T-cab kit. It was a lot of work to get it to line up with the Tamiya bumper and cab. It was to narrow as yo can se here. So i cut it in to three pieces. And then put it together again. Next step is to fix the grill. This is what i ended up with. Sidesteps. Primed. Then it took a turn to a heavy hauler and at this time i realised that a wanted a crane. Craneparts. Batterybox under the hood. Crane starts to take shape. A little movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXNdX...layer_embedded

Lights are very important
Fenders in aluminium. INstead of using Tamiya suspension i bought this sweet thing from Germany. Front driven axle with servo holder. New three speed gearbox with transfercase from Veroma Germany It's alittle bit smaller then Tamiya. New chassi the old one looked like swiss cheese. Video to show how the axle mount works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd1hf...layer_embedded

As i was saying light is important.
Made this cover over the lover part of the crane. And now it's a dumptruck again.

Very nice build the cab came out sweet, the rear is nice too I'm liking the versatility of it. Plus the sweet arse suspension and crane. Looking forward to the next round of updates.
Do you have any info on the crane set, links to a website??? --Dan

Yes it is, its a really sweet setup for this kind of truck. http://www.der-getriebedoktor.de/sho...s.php?aid=2440 Quote:
I guess we have to euro trucks, but to us trucks its very limited Quote:
Some more pictures maybe This is the underside of the dumpbody. I but on aluminium frames instead of the plastic ones that came with it, its made out of styrene btw. Made a mount for the VBG-coupling. I made the drawbar to the trailer buy my self, its made in styrene as well. I'm gonna show the trailer here as well And the last one is on the griffin decals. Just a little to big but how cares if you can see out of the truck

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane
I'm interested in the LRP Truck Puller motor, have you used it yet? Do you like it? Are you running 7.2V or 12V?

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane
Yes i have used it, and it pulls my big *** excavator so i am happy with it
It's the 7,2V version i have in this one, next truck i'm gonna build i probably go for the 12V version. This truck is only ment for "light loads" so it's enough with the power for this truck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOi-LnCZuNU

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane
Thats looking good, I was just wondering how strong the styrene dump body is, and what you treated the styrene with?

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane
No problem with the strength, it takes a full load of gravel without a problem
Haven't done anything with the body yet, just gonna paint it red on the inside and red/yellow combo on the outside. I will not spend so much time in the paint because I want to have a little run-down appearance of the body

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane
Some parts arrived for this one
Started with the bucket. . Teeth, but i thinking of removing them again don't think they are necessary. Sadly i forgot to take more pictures on the build but this is how it came out . . Hydraulic cylinders for the dump
