welcome home
like Steve said you will get more crap if you don't post....we don't tease...well maybe we tease Steve but he deserves it!!!!!!!!!!

[woodhog]

definetly post pics,this is not a teasing group of guys:)

[RCP57]

I don't think anyone has turned out a masterpiece on the first go so post some pics! Everyone has different skillsets and tools available to do their builds so you should never feel like you're going to be made fun of! There is a great group of guys and gals here that are full of support and great advise so make yourself at home!

best way , sign up to an image hosting site like Photobucket ,image shak or the like , they're "free". up load your photo/s . then post the forum image code , on photobucket , it should be the last code on a pop up if you drag your curser over the pic . copy/paste that code/link in your reply .

edit: ahh Joe and Rob beat me :p

[steamer]

Joe, looks like we were at it, the same time!!!! Looks like Steve too!!!

Please don't laugh!!!!!:o I appreciate for any comments!!!! :) Many thanks to all for a quick tutorial!!!:)

Looking real good there Leon!! Your off to a flying start. Nice skills on all the aluminum work and it looks like it will be a real workhorse. You shouldn't have worried about the photos it looks great!!!
Rob

[glorydays24]

Why would anybody laufgh at this beast???:eek::D:p:);):cool: You are doing a fantastic job buddy. I just wish I could work with aluminum at the magnitude that you are.:eek::eek::eek: Great job, and can't wait to see more.;)

Looks great Leon, that thing is huge:)
What axles are you using ?

[izzzul]

amazing works! admire your build so much! cant wait to see more pic..

[Mama Sue]

No room for teasing there...That is awesome. Great work! Looks rugged enough to haul a healthy load....

[rc_farmer]

This thing is going to be a brute, there is a load of coal with ur name on it :D

[Lil Giants]

An unusual design that I have never seen before, is this of your own creation or is there a 1:1 IRL? ...it makes me think this is an underground hauler with it's low profile.

You may want to incorporate some brass bushings within your pivot points for reduced wear & easier movement... like oilite bushings in the Tamiya kits would work great. ;)

What's the reduction on your chosen axles? You may need to add a planetary reduction to the motor to propel those massive tires. I'm sure you're aware of the choices offered by RC4WD. ;)

A great start on what I'm sure will turn out to be a mighty hauler. :cool:

[plow jockey]

That truck is a beast!! Great job on the build!

[tc1cat]

Looking good so far!! Kind of looks like it might be military based by the shape of the cab????

[pumptech]

My goodness what a build !! Awesome work on it so far . Looking forward to seeing more of this build :D:D

[rc4ever]

Looks great Leon, that thing is huge:)
What axles are you using ?

Thanks for the compliment!!! I bought the axles from Rc4wd.com, and they are Blackwell!!! Can I get your name? ;-) I appreciate for any suggestion!!!:)

Thanks for your compliment and suggestion!!! ;-) Wow, you could tell that it's undergroud hauler, u r very bright!!! :eek: Yes, I've been trying to make it look like the CAT AD45B but change it around n claim it my own creation:D
As you noticed most parts r from RC4WD, so what do you recommend for the planetary reduction to the motor? Thanks again!!! Can I get your name?
Leon:)

I get busier after started my own business, moreover my wife n I r expecting a baby girl, this will be our second child!!!;) We have a 5 year old boy, and he keeps asking me when he can play with this dump truck? :( I told him it'd be his Christmas present for the last two years. But,:o
