Re: First Truck Build
The truck is with Brian getting a fresh coat of paint. Can't wait to get it back especially since I went with the paint job I really wanted. All I have left to do is add lights and sound when he's done painting. Still don't know if I should just go with a Tamiya MFU or not. I did get the trailer back. Here are pictures of it.

Re: First Truck Build
The trailer looks good that color too! I'd recommend the MFU, they are great, everything in one package, and user friendly. But if it's going into a day cab things can get tight.(but doable) Is it going into the dump truck or a full size?

Re: First Truck Build
It would be going in to this Dump truck build. Day Cab project is on the back burner for now.

Re: First Truck Build
The MFU is great like I said (In my opinion). But in a dump truck space is tight, just like a day cab. I went with a "sabertooth" - RC model from Dimension Engineering. It is 2 ESC's in one. You can use 1 ESC to run the truck and the 2nd to operate the dump box. Two birds with one stone. Check it out. Your truck will work normally with this. Lighting, sound, vibration unit , and where to put the battery is another thing.

Re: First Truck Build
Another thing I did was to get a lighting kit (I believe G.T. Power - newer black colored one) It works to operate the lights like a MFC would, but the Chinese translation seems to be missing words and can be hard to follow, and the programming is a pain in a$$. But it works once you get it there. Just some thoughts.

Re: First Truck Build
Could you tell me where or from who you purchased the trailer in your post? Please let me know. I'm building my fleet and thinking this could help make a good tool for the fleet.
Thank you, Jim

Re: First Truck Build
Peterbilt Triaxle dump is still with ERC, king body was reacting to paint. In the meantime I sold the aeromax setup and bought another King setup to make a KW daycab. Bought the emblems of Garden just haven't mocked them up. Dont know if I should cut the bottom of the stacks because they don't clear the tanks and I want the tanks up front. Thank you Mario for the Air Cleaners. Here's what it looks like.

Re: First Truck Build
Changed my original scheme a lil. But this is how it sits now. Once I figure out which direction to go with for lights and sound I can finish it.
