Looks great! How much did it cost?

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

2550 euros as a kit. Will be less for us here in the US since we don't pay the 19% vat.

I had a drive of this model at Friedrichshaven Germany on the weekend. Seems like it should be a good model. Will post some size photos when back in Australia

Hi Dave, sounds like you made a choice. The 490 is a great machine. When is it arriving?

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

Is that your model to take home with you Paul or a demo?

It looks like a decent sized haul trk, it'll be interesting to see how durable it is after some heavy use in the next couple yrs.

You must have taken more pics & vids of the show, where you hiding them?! :D

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

Hey Joe,
My model should be shipped sometime next week, the model I had there was a demo. I had a drive of another one.
We got home Saturday night and today we started looking at the photos, in the next couple of days I will put up some videos/pictures.
This week has been busy as someone drove into my new Landcruiser:mad: so have been trying to get that sorted.

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

that looks great , mine should be delivered in the next 2-3 weeks , cant wait to see some more photos and video , which is the best model show to visit in Germany early next year ?

thanks Dave

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

Here is a short video of it working at the show in Germany last month.
It does go much faster than I was driving but I didn't want to drive off the edge with someone else's new truck.

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

That's ace , can't wait now :D

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

I have finally now got my tracking number for my dumper:jump:, so I think it will arrive in the new year. Unless I get lucky.

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

I keep forgetting to mention that truck modelle magazine from Germany has an article on the model...

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

So it has finally arrived, it will be a slow build over the next couple of months but I will take progress photos to show the construction.

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

More (PRON) pictures please!

Drool...

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

Looks great, looking forward to follow the build !
(suggest you create a separate building thread in the 'construction equipment' main section, so is it easier to find for reference in the future;) )

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

Slow build:eek: looks half put together I would be standing on my head to get it built.:D

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

What is (PRON)?:confused:

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

I'd say he meant Porn, but was too excited and spelt it wrong! ;-)

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

LOL! he didn't want to be censored:eek::eek::eek::eek::p
Cheers, Neil.

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

Elliot is correct...

I was trying to avoid the :cop:

:D

Cheers,
Ap

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

Build it now!

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

Ahh some more "naked" pictures huuu!! Lol!! If I could tolerate my knees being stuffed into my neck for 16 hours on a plane I would tell the wife we are going on vacation, she's always wanted to hit your part of the planet. She might be a bit upset when she realizes I traveled halfway around the globe to help you build this beast!! Lol!! Oh and spend a couple days in your "workshop" !!! Keep us posted!
Oh and I have one of those radios buried somewhere around here, if I can get into it I may still be of some help:)

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

I have to go away with work for about a week on Saturday the timing is crap:(

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

16hrs is ok if you like what you see when you get there:D
Any help with the radio would be great;)

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

All right I will bite, which radio?

Cheers,
Ap

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

Hey Andrew,
I have the Turnagy TGY 9X I have no idea how to programme this thing for the D11 (eg channel mixing and switch assignment)
Thanks Paul

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

Paul,
I don't have any experience with those, might be a good idea to post in the electronics section...

Cheers,
Ap

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

AP is the man to talk to bout programming radios. He helped me out with channel mixing

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

I also have a dx 10t that I need help with as well. I have never done any programming before

Re: servonaut dumptruck GMK4000
 

Paul,

I can help out with the generic way of doing things and specifics for the 10t... Now what do you want to do?

Cheers,
Ap
