Exactly what I was going for! :D

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
 

So any luck in figuring out if the full fenders can be used without issue with the motorized leg kit?

The only thing I think that it is missing is the new 5th wheel servo mount that looks like a catwalk. I think that would really finish of the truck vs. the servo being totally exposed like that.

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
 

Working on the fender thing right now. The servo mount is not currently in stock but will be added.

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
 

truck looks good makes me want to get one even more now haha what trailer are you going to put behind this grand hauler if possible would like to see some pics with differant trailers thanks.

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
 

When they come out with a kit like my truck... Then they can call it a "Grand Hauler"


Longer frame.. HAHA ya right...

Truck looks good though, good work

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
 

Mr. Anderson, Why does Tamiya always make it a complete pain to change motors or the pinion gear in the semis and F350 style trucks? You either have to completely (not quite) disassemble the vehicle or cut the tranny cover to do any kind of changing.

This build is one of the best tutorials to date. Showing how you wired the extra LEDs is a big help to a lot of people.

A BIG Thank you for taking the time to do this and for introducing this new truck to the forum.

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
 

Ok, let me preface this with I know most of you will know what trucks these are but I am labeling them for people new to tamiya tractors.

Photos taken with front bumpers lined up.

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
 

looks to be one axle longer then stock

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
 

Thanks for laying them out like that Mr. Anderson. Looks like a set of Grand hauler rails and an extra set of cascadia fairing panels will make for a nice looking Cascadia :D:D

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
 

So kool that the grand hauler has a nice large car frame stretch to it.

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
 

hey j can you post pictures with some trailers attached to the grand hauler to show how it looks with the different trialers that are avilible thanks.
