Cool pics Reg! She's a beast!

Love those scale bridges of yours too, should have had you stuff one of those in the box with the dump trailer on its way down!

Haha, buying that machine is the best money I have ever spent on a toy. It has saved us way more than what it cost just in excavating fees. Let alone it is sitting here ready to go when you have a job to do. It's a goofy looking machine because it's from Japan(grey market) but I am continually amazed by what it will do for it's size. You should want one too Mike!

Yes this trucks size can be a pain but when you see it loaded in person cruising around it is fairly impressive. It showed no signs of slowing down on the uphill grades but I am a bit worried about the gears in the diffs under that load as well as the drive shafts. So far so good and I do have spares. I just don't want to break my pride and joy!lol The bridges turned out not bad considering I just threw them together. It would have been nice to cut scale sized decking for them but I didn't want to devote that much time. I think the 1"x8" planks kinda look like concrete slabs so it's good enough. They are wide enough to pass two trucks in 1/14 and barely wide enough for the KW850.

I had this old girl out today as well. When I built the truck I didn't know how long I should make the compensator hitch. It turns out that the length I chose wasn't enough so today I tried to fix it. I added a bit more to it but then had some binding issues as you will see in the video I am uploading. I took it all apart since and welded the added piece to the original so that there isn't a seem between the two. Should be good now but will have to wait until the paint dries. Apparently, heating aluminum to it's melting point burns paint... Who knew

This load is really heavy! The logs are large fir limbs with very tight grain. I would say that it is at least 100 pounds. I took the truck out into the field to pick them up and went as slow as I could coming back across the grass. It held together so I'm a happy guy! When I was done playing I hauled them right over to my wood shed!







Video to follow...

Here you go! I also got the compensator hitch working properly again.

Well the difference in scale is quite great obviously but the off highway trucks are much larger than their highway cousins in real life. For instance, 8' bunks on a highway truck vs 14'-16' on the off highway trucks. Hauling 100 tons of logs isn't uncommon. They are impressive to be around if you like trucks.

I had to dig back a couple of pages to find this old girl.

I decided that it had been a while since I went over this thing and lubed some stuff up so I better get at it! Xmas is coming and it will be up to me and this thing to roll out the lights.lol

It has been run around enough now that dust is starting to stick on the greasy parts giving it that "scale" look. I haven't had it on the bench for ages. IT'S HUGE!!!!

Man I like that big truck and all the details you put in it, I'll bet it looks big on the bench when you are working on 1/14 scale lately. Good to see the new pics of a great old build!!

Someone on YouTube asked me how the sound unit worked in this thing so I shot a quick video about it.

In my opinion, THE greatest off the shelf mod for a sound unit ever! Forget all those fancy a** computer programmed electronic systems!

If there was a RC hall of fame, that sound unit belongs there!

Haha, it worked out pretty good to be a childhood hoarder in this case. I sure would like to find a spare!

Yep that's it Brandon. It's funny, I looked on eBay before I cut mine up to see what they were worth. At that time there was one on there for $30 and it wasn't selling. I was looking last night and the most current one sold for $69US. I cut up a collectors item!

Whenever I watch a latest video of KW logger, I usually mute it, that noise box so obnoxious... don't let me near with a hammer in hand, God knows what might happen
