Looks like a fun build. I can't wait to see the rest.

Where are you going to put the electronics with the interior in the cab?

Re: " Blackbird " my king hauler - Dump truck daycab
 

the electronic parts will go under the hood and between the frame rails :)

Just clicked on one of your pictures to get a better look at the bed you are using. Your photo hosting page locked my computer into a phishing page threatening to "lock" my computer unless I called an 800 number to get a "virus" corrected. Had to hard shutdown to get out of that page. Please check your photo host.

That's strange , i Have been using hosting pics for a year, and I havent got any problems ...

I am sorry for your computer, I hope that you have fix this problem ;)


I can turn the pics in original size , but it's way too big !! tell me if I can help you :)

Re: " Blackbird " my king hauler - Dump truck daycab
 

No problem, once I got out of that site all has been fine. Just wanted you to know it happened.

Looks like a pretty cool build you have going. I did a King Hauler conversion using a Bruder bed, but it was the larger squared off one, the half round looks really good. What type of lift system are you planning?

Re: " Blackbird " my king hauler - Dump truck daycab
 

Yea your picture host just locked my phone a tablet...hard restart on both fixed it luckily

I'm so sorry for you guys, I'll put the pics in wider size to escape the problem of "hacking"


I have bough some aluminum part from rigid RC (stack and reductor) + winter tires and a carson poison motor

Re: " Blackbird " my king hauler - Dump truck daycab
 

Can you tell me more about the planetry box and its gearing / ratio, and would you have a shot of its inside,
Also can you get some pics when you mount it is, is it the same width as a truck frame or does it need up right support brackets ?

Cheers Tracy
