Izzy's Dump truck

[Izzy]

I'm looking for some aggressive pattern super singles and standard tires

I'm thinking fulda style

My plan is to mount on tamiya rims

Any advice?

[Lil Giants]

The Pajero tires I like to use; ppl talk about cutting the tire to shrink it's diameter, then glue it back together. Not sure what glue specifically. :confused: But the Pajero has an xllnt aggressive tread pattern similar to the Fulda Crossforce.

[fhhhstix]

They use CA glue I have watched the guys at the R/C dirt tracks glue three different tread patterns and compound together. These guys are fanatics and will literally cut up 100's of tire to make up different combinations to get the best performance and the tire stay together vary well and take more abuse than we could ever dish out with our trucks.

[Izzy]

I might give them a try........nice pattern ...... I guess you really don't see too agressive a pattern on the front of adump truck even though it might be front assist.....

hmmmmmm......more planning......

[Roadmasters]

i was excited, then i saw it was only about tires. Are you planning something Chris?

[SonoranWraith]

I have cut n shut some tires and the results have been great. You use insta-cure to tack it together. Have to be careful cause it is instant especially on your skin. LOL. Then you fill the gaps from the back with IC-2000 which is glue with rubber in it. As for how to cut it depends on the tires to fall on a lug space or treadline for narrowing. The glues are from BSI and really are the best. I have tried some other viscosities and use mercury adhesives for the rest of my hobby stuff, but the insta-cure and IC2000 work perfectly. Oh one other thing, to cut the tires I use surgical scissors, dull ones will just gnaw at the rubber.

[Papy]

Fulda crossforce tires do exist for Tamiya rims. You can get them here (http://www.racingmodellbau.ch/crossforce-gelaendereifen-p-709.html)

[fhhhstix]

Well here are some picks of the new dump truck.

The custom transmission.

Now we will have to wait and see what Izzy does next.

Travis

[td9clyde]

those bruder macks are awsome i like those hmmmmmm the light bulb just kicked on lol

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Looking Great guys that did not take long it all that is for sure. I really like the tranny great work!

[Dreamweaver]

Wow wish I could build a truck that fast..:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Looks Great. Those "Toy" trucks have some outstanding detail.

-Mike

[Izzy]

Thanks guys ...... Lynn and I were down to Travis' - it only took about 12 hrs to pull off what's in the pics

Gotta re cut the drive shaft - too tight yet

I even kept the bruder interior and engine thus far......



Izzy

[SmallHaul]

Nice work Fellas! The Bruder Mack Cabs are cool.

[RCLogger]

WOW that is speed building.... get-er-done LOL

greg

[Izzy]

I forgot to add in my haste of asking - but I was looking for tires in 1/16 scale for 1/14 scale rims - I like the relationship of the wedico size tires for the bruders but i want to run a tamiya driveline....

but maybe we'll change them later - or cut them down - keep the bead and cut out the height ...........Hmmmmmmmmm..........sounds tricky??

[Operator]

Are them the original Bruder rims and tires? Are the originals rubber or plastic? Which rear ends, and where do yo get them? What is the size of the Aluminum you use for the frame rails?

Thanks
Matt

Matt

They are Tamiya rims and tires as well as the axles but the frame rails are from Freddygeardrive they match the tamiya rails perfectly. the Bruder tires and rims are solid and not real good for traction. Most guys buy a Tamiya kit and use it for doner parts.

Travis

[Izzy]

Matt -frame and down is tamiya. Mostly spare parts but tamiya all the same. Gear box is custom

Izzy

[fhhhstix]

Izzy the truck appears to run good. Now we just need to see it with a bed on it.

Travis

[Operator]

Thanks guys, and nice job!

Matt

[Izzy]

"00" - boss and I had some words.....package coming....

That sabertooth2x12 is pretty good -haven't any experience with them so we'll see how it lugs.....

Besides -been busy try'n to move some pig pens......

Izzy

[Izzy]

Which do you guys like better?

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii94/Isleifr/Mack%20Dump/2586c7b9.jpg

The Euro style hangs out a bit farther as well -the front was already wider than the rear

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii94/Isleifr/Mack%20Dump/8cc74d27.jpg

Thoughts??

[ihbuilder]

Ummm this :D :p

http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz230/ihbuilder/PIC_0325.jpg

All kidding aside :p . It's a hard 1 Chris :confused: the 1's in the pic are already against the tie rod arm . I would say the 1 's you and travis made up . BTW you should be getting something very soon ;) prob tomorrow

[Izzy]

Steve - your right awful tight fit ..... I prefer the track width of the made up rims but I like how the hub nuts fit in the euro wheels..... and yes I am anxious for my X-mas present....

[Izzy]

I worked on adding the splash gurads for behind the wheels - I'm real happy with how they turned out ...

the Bruder set - up

Travis - bruder sticker gone ......

think? Thanks for lookin.......

[fhhhstix]

Looks great Izzy and this should be a fun little dump truck.

Travis

[DieselKid]

Really coming along nicely Chris! Between you and Travis I've seen you guys do a lot of neat things with a Granite that are new to me and original because of that.

Love the stance of the truck and the way it still retains the Mack look and not just a Granite body on a King Hauler chassis (not to knock anyone who's done this in the past, your conversion is still respected nonetheless).

Keep up the great work!

-Alex

[Izzy]

Travis - Ive had it runnin around a good bit - is a lot of fun......Thanks for all your help with the parts.....

Been working on hiding the ESC, mouniting a power switch, routing the battery wires etc & waiting for parts......

[td9clyde]

you fella's makin me want things now and i can't do nothing lol .........Awsome truck Izzy can't wait to see this one in person all your models are cooooool

[russisloud]

very nice, i like how you mounted up the tanks

[SmallHaul]

looking good Chris. The tanks are a nice touch.

[Izzy]

I-m impressed with the tanks too

Kinda hard to see -but I used the little plates that come with the flatbed kit that tie the chains down- threaded those and mounted to the king steps -then drilled holes for them to stick through and bent them over on the inside

Hopefully these pics make some sense

[Izzy]

Henry - that bad boy will steel the show!

called Robot market place - found out that my order was held up due to two items on back order ..... bahh ......so had to send em an e-mail to confirm my verbal request to cancel the back order items and refund the $$ ... so parts are coming......now a dead race to see if I can finish this before the East Coast Meet....

[td9clyde]

nah that weak lil thing won't hardly pull it's self around lol let alone push a blade of dirt ha ha ha ........... hope you get the parts in time to get goin for the show wish i could make it but i can't ride that long docs orders and i made plans with the wifey and i can't break those she would kick my butt lol

[Izzy]

Travis

[SmallHaul]

Looks good Izzy:cool:!

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Very nice Chris really makes me want one!

[tc1cat]

Looks awesome!! Makes me want one too!! You know I am partial to straight trucks:D:D

[ihbuilder]

Very nice Chris really makes me want one!

yea those lil puppies kinda grew on me :D

looks good Chris :cool:

[Izzy]

next to work on is the door hinges & the wood top boards

[Lil Giants]

A nifty little tandem axle pup with a low pro stiff pole (like my pup) & a box about the same length as your trk would be the ultimate duet for this build Izzy. :cool:

Lower your pintle about 10mm. ;)

[Izzy]

Yup - a pup......was thinking the pintle was too hig - bummer since I have strut bars in the bottom - what apain to assemble........but then again - that's what we like......

[fhhhstix]

Hay Chris most pintle hitches are made adjustable on both the truck and the trailer but almost always adjustable on the trailer so it can be set for a fixed pintle on a truck. In the 1:1 world you don't always have a good mounting option on the truck. So I would suggest making the pup fit what you have. Just an idea.:cool:

Travis

[Izzy]

Thanks for the suggestion - never really been around one

Izzy

[doodlebug]

Hey Izzy, I measured my truck (Mack CL 713) this afternoon, it sit's at about 22 1/2-23'' range, at the bottom of the "throat" Hope this help's!
Later, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.

[Izzy]

Thanks doodlebug - I'll check mine ....
- here's some more pics - re-mounted the front bumper and some more "goodies"
- side boards are mounted as well as the tail gate
- need to attach the inner filler panel on the tailgate yet - need some parts.....

Nice

[FreddyGearDrive]

I've been waiting to see this build,& thought you hadn't even started it yet.Then talk to Travis last night & he says your almost done w/it.:eek:
DUUHH! Guess I should of checked this forum!DUUUHHH!:o
Super nice job there Chris! Travis said she'll lift a house,like the screw configuration! Keep up the good work!
FGD

[Lil Giants]

You've got quite a bit of box overhang there Izzy. :confused:

How far below is the tailgate covering the pintle with the box raised high enough for clean out?

[Cossett]

Hi Izzy this is awesome :D how the **** I missed it I don't know as I want to do something similar to my Bruder Mack some time in the future :p seems to me you Construction guys have more fun than the rest of us:D

Cheers Tracy

[CAT315C]

The chassis and the box is built around the bucket, aluminum

Congratulations for the construction!!!

Thanks,

Carlos

[Mustang]

Nice job Izzy! Man, I like those Bruder Mack's!

[td9clyde]

looks sweet Izzy i think a tag trailer to haul your dozer or your loader behind it would be cool

[Izzy]

Well Freddy if you pay a little attention ...... Humph.....
Thanks for the kind words all .... This has been a fun build - really trying to go for a beat em up kinda thing.....
Td9clyde - a utility trailer - that would be kinda fun - then wouldn't have to worry so much about pintos location......

As for over hang - yep about an inch too much - but he'll with all the tires loaded with lead ain't gonna flip ....lol .... I hope..... But she has a good turning radius

Picked up some screws and taps for the tail gate .... Maybe I can get it together tonight or tomorrow.....

[Heavy Metal]

Little Mack is looking great Chris! Love it. We'll be expecting a video of this thing dumpin' a full load. (And looking forward to the whatever is hooking to the pintle hitch). :D:D
