My Knight Hauler

[LOUIE 379]

Well Buzzy,

All I did was get the cat logo off the world wide web and printed them off in a few different sizes and once i was happy ,chose the right size and just used double sided tape and hey presto, The trailer ones are a bit smaller than whats on the truck,

Well a couple of weeks ago it was my birthday, 19 of june to be exact, i got a box trailer and a pole trailer to make a dolly out of so i can nom have a roadtrain, i built the pole trailer first to see what it was like before i raided parts off of it. i made up some rails for the dolly and started from there, once i had the suspension and rear light bar on it had a fair bit of twist to it so i added some cross members to stiffen it up which helped a lot i added the long vehicle sign and mud flaps to the front and back, the drawbar will be made out of brass along with a few other small things

[LOUIE 379]

On to the lead trailer, the trailer that you guys have seen will now be at the rear, i got a ringfeeder from RigidRc which is a great piece for what its worth, i moved the axles back and lowered the rear to make it the same as my other trailer, i then made a mounting plate for the ringfeeder and mounted it to the trailer made the rear bar up and all i have to do is make the drawbar and wire it all up

[LOUIE 379]

I had also got a rear light bar from RigidRc along with lenses for my truck to make it look better, i had to modify the plastic at thr rear of the chassis so the bar could fit in , added another LED to the revese light and put it on, seeing as how i am building a dolly i need to have my name on it so i made up this logo yesterday but im not sure if it will do, what do guys think?

regards, Lucas

What a sharp looking truck details are awesome.....

[Espeefan]

Nice work Lucas! You laid down a really nice paint job on your truck, and I like the pin stripes too. I've thought about doing a nice aluminum bug deflector for one of my trucks also, and yours looks great. It's nice touch.

[LOUIE 379]

well i got the dolly finished over the weekend and was suprised with the result , i was originally going to paint it black to match the truck and trailer chassis' so instead i painted it the same as the truck, the part i was dreading most was all if the wiring it, it is all wired from front to rear, the ring/eye is brass bushed because the pin in the ringfeeder was a smaller diameter to it, i polished up the front bar, made up mudflap weights. the stand is held by chain pretty and much all i have to do is add hub caps and its complete, personally i think i did pretty well for a 17 year old
what do you guys think??

thanks chris greatly appreciated

thanks truckmaker i will try to keep it up

Lucas, love that “A” frame well done mate, if you want to go with a sprung pogo stick, have a look in my T650 thread, I built one using a sprung aerial.
Tim

tim, so far the pogo stick hasnt been a problem when it does i just might consider your idea

Top work mate cant wait to see this in person...would you build another one ??

thank you jetdog, i never actually thought of making another one, perhaps later on down the track



thought id show you guys how i did the wiring in between the lead trailer and dolly

[LOUIE 379]

hey all, just made a photobucket account so thought id put these up, these are the same as what i had put on build of the month also,

[diesel950]

looks cool, nice work on the dolly

[LOUIE 379]

Hey all,
Well i was starting to not like how my rear light bar was looking so i thought Id do this,





dad and I tried different ways of mounting it and ended up shortning the plastic at the end of the chassis , i wasnt liking that i had to chop it up thinking i might wreck it but it turned out better than i thought
What do you guys think???
cheers Lucas

[Trucker_Jo]

Sweet. I love it! Same age as me with limited tools so I understand you there You should scratch build a cab for the next build if/when you do it because you have the skill. Once I have enough $$$ Ill be happy to join you guys.

[LOUIE 379]

thanks trucker jo, gee i wish i could scratch build something for my next truck, but that might be a while till i do, if i do i would like ho have a crack at either a kenworth T900 or T950

Either of those should be an awesome build. If it weren't for my mtb build right now I would start on something like this
