1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

Hello, dear friends! I want to build a dumper. I took a truck tractor - 1/14 Tamiya King Hauler. First I built a chassis of 6x4. Now I will build a chassis 6X6.

I like the idea of a 6X6 dump truck. How did you get the (looks like a standard Tamiya gearbox) Tamiya transmission to power the front wheels?

Re: 1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

This chassis is 6X4! Here is the gearbox 1/14 Tamiya. For a 6X6 chassis, I used a gearbox 1/10 Tamiya Toyota Tundra 4X4.

The Toyota gearbox, is it a 3 speed like the King Hauler gearbox?

Re: 1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

Skeeter! I will make detailed photos soon and show you everything. The dimensions of the gear boxes 1/14 Tamiya trucks and 1/10 Tamiya Toyota Tundra are the same.

Re: 1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

I'll be following this!

Re: 1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

Me too! Always interested in ways people go for a live front axle.

Re: 1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

I have two types of leading front axles - "1/10 Tamiya Toyota Tundra" and "1/18 Tamiya TLT-1". I installed the front drive axle "1/18 Tamiya TLT-1". The differentials for these two bridges are the same - 40/15. Differential of the middle and rear drive axle "1/14 Tamiya truck" - 40/15.

Re: 1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

A couple of things:
1) you need the truck kit shocks on at least one axle of the tandem so the axles don't over articulate & the dog bone between them falls out.
2) your tie rod on steering axle should be behind axle for correct steering geometry, Google Ackerman principal.

Re: 1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

Thank you very much, Ditchdigger! I got it. I'll do everything as you wrote.

I can not understand what it is? - "truck kit shocks". Shock absorbers?!!! (Damper, absorber, bumper, buffer, snubber, dashpot).

Re: 1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

Shock absorber. Your pic in last post shows the stock version... But the last pic, as well as your own build, the frame rails are upside down, not certain the hole position in frame for shock absorber will correspond correctly too.

Re: 1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

Good! I got it! The upper mounting point of the shock absorber will be lower.

Re: 1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

LOL! that hang up looks liek my 1:1 today, while hauling sand to the golf course. They had me back onto the fairway.............WELL, try to, & it sank the loaded truck like yours is. I told them there had been too much rain, & that I would get stuck. Ya know, everybody's a truck driver EXCEPT for the guy operating the truck. They said that the last 2 trucks ahead of me had done it. I told them they weren't OVERLOADED, as I was. They insisted, so I did it, & left BIG ruts in their beautiful green grass. LOL!

Re: 1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

Where did you acquire the Cat engine? What modifications are made to the stock truck to make it fit?

Re: 1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

The blue dump box, you made it? If bought, where from?

Re: 1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

Wow that's really coming along quick.

Are we doing work on the engine, or removing emissions controls?

Re: 1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler Dump Truck 6X6 chassis (Russia)

Looking great! Was concerned with the twist with the plastic dump. Metal all the way! Great job!

Skeeter you can buy solid ones to use as loads or ones you can slide over the motor if youve hinged the hood. Think exclusive rc does them. Not sure off the top of my head
