RCP57-your truck is looking really good! When you get to the paint job you know it is close to being finished. Great job!

Glad you didn't take my comments the wrong way. Awaiting the start of the trailer build.

Yeah no worries. The paint is far from perfect but it looks close to good enough.lol I've seen a few of these trucks in "restored" condition and a lot of times they paint over all the grease and rust. This looks at least that good.haha.

Trailer is finished except for the brake boosters so it will see some paint soon.

Thanks for following along!

To turn out a handbuilt trk of this caliber in 5months is quite an impressive feat Reg! Well done!

I'm looking forward to seeing it in person in June, so get it running, eh!!!

I'm just going there for an eight day holiday late June, meeting up with RcLogger, tracksandtreadslou & Steamer in Commox... perhaps we make it down to check out Reg's spread if he's around.

Greg mentioned something about a truck show in Duncan mid July they go to? ..too late in the summer for me to attend.

What size/style bulbs do you guys run in the clearance lights? I am thinking I may want to light them up.

Thanks, Reg

Did some machining and painting on the trailer today. I still have a little of each to do so no pics of that yet. I did some more fiddling though today, bent up some grab handles, and stuck in a windshield with some wipers.







Thanks for looking.

Very impressive, those rubber feet are usually pretty grippy on the concrete. The truck and your skills are amazing.

Glue, glue, machine parts, glue, paint.... you get the point....Almost there!
















I'm using HPI E-Savage diffs (13/38T)and I keep breaking spider gears(HEAVY HEAVY). I was just wondering if anyone knew of an upgrade for these. I see that they make an upgrade(4 bevel) for some but I don't know if they fit...Help!lol

Videos to follow....

Thanks, Reg
