He's got a tandem pete, I'll try to get a pic for you. He's also got a big dm mack. Runs all old rodgers trailers. He probably moves the biggest iron in jersey.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Wouldn't be too sure on that one. Look into Joe super n son's or supor out of kearny or Newark Nj. He hauled sullys plane, the challenger space shuttle n a bunch of other giant giant stuff.
Back in the 1970s my dad worked for him and was one of his top drivers, he actually drove a truck with a giant steel tank that they used to pump the nuclear waste water from the three miles island incident into the tank and my dad hauled it to Tennessee for Joe super n another truck took it the rest of the way to Nevada. He got to meet president Carter there because he was envolved in the whole thing. But anyways Joe super has yellow n green or safety yellow Petes

Re: bigfords trucks
 

yes Supor & sons,Malfor Bros they haul alot of Heavy Iron out of NJ along with Conforti

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Supor & sons rolls onto long island a lot. I never seen conforti here

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Nice looking rigs bigford. Did you go to the big rig show in Deer Park yesterday? Some nice rigs there, I was very impressed.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

no i missed it or i would have bobtailed ovee there
where on Li are you?

Re: bigfords trucks
 

I'm in Centereach, I should have posted something on the forum for the LI guys. My bad.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

I'm not trying to one up anyone. I said iron not transformers planes etc. That route you got Casey central jersey and trans american. Thought iron meant construction equipment

Re: bigfords trucks
 

well I got most of the trucks done for the mack show. I wanted to get the headlight for
the quad axle done. a few more coats of clear and polish.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Hey cabs I know you weren't trying to one up me, I wasn't trying to do that either. I don't know anyone who heavy hauls big time in Nj other then Joe Supor n Sons n Conforti. Heavy hauling isn't my expertise in trucking, if you want to talk produce then I'm more in my realm LoL....BigFord I seen your trucks there but never got a chance to talk to you or introduce myself. But I must say the trucks looked good in person and I was wondering who had the green beast in the exclusive repair shop.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

dump truck has hydraulics !!!!! waiting on the esc's to power everything
the esc for the pump will be the second esc, do I remove the red servo wire
and leave the motor esc alone?? never delt with two esc's for one truck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoGFms4SAyE

Re: bigfords trucks
 

If both are being used on the same RX then one of them needs to have the red wire pulled. I would recommend using whatever ESC has the better BEC to power the RX and servo and pull the wire on the other one.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

both are viper marine 15

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Then if they are the same just take a red wire out of one of them then. Doesn't really matter which one.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

ok so both esc are in! Now can I buy a y-harness with two Tamiya female ends
and one male end to join both esc to one battery??

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Yes you can. But depending on how much current is being pulled I would suggest ditching the Tamiya connector for a better quality.

Re: bigfords trucks

Re: bigfords trucks
 

That looks great so far :cool:
Is it going to have a drop axle like the 1:1 or are you mostly after the paint scheme?
I think she will need a set of Steves killer pete ovals for wheels. :);)

Ok. Just watched the vids. I love the actual working hyd versus the screw drive set ups. And that answers my drop axle question.... Got no more room for more gizmos right? Lol

Re: bigfords trucks
 

the hydro tank could be located under the pass door and the ums pump
could go somewhere else to fit a drop axle. for now the passenger tank
holds the oil and the driver tank has the pump

Re: bigfords trucks
 

nice fleet you have there :D

Re: bigfords trucks
 

wow I never I would have to say this BUT I think I to much aluminum
on my trucks. the truck In the back has a ihb bumper and paulnz grill air cleaners and fuel tanks
