[mog]

how long of screw do you need

[Stuff]

so got it mounted on the old cab for now. got the rear axle locked and weighted. had fun playing with the plow to :D We did get some snow last night but right now isnt a great time to go out and play with it because i dot have enough weight and the snow is melting and its mucky under it...

Video of me playing with the new plow :D thx Freddy!

Looks good!

[Stuff]

im happy it works good. gotta adjust my radio so the left right of the plow is not spring loaded. maybe ill switch the steer and the blade around. But ya need to have a guys night out at mog's garage and work on it a bit lol

[RCTech9]

Looks good stuff!!!

[bucshott]

That looks great stuff. like the rear deck. freddy sure can make a awesom looking plow.your video cracked me up with your wheelie. looks great. need a video using your plow.

[Stuff]

lol looks like we will have to wait till the next snow fall now. It got too nice yesterday afternoon and it is almost all gone. its also nice and ice covered with whatevers left.

[mog]

well you know where i live and that i am home most nights. can't weaght to get more snow as i just got my blizzard together.

[Stuff]

lol I need to lift the plow up a notch. that or beef up my front suspension some. it is dragging a bit. there is no such thing as smooth pavement around these parts :D

Also I remembered i gotta pack all them wheels right tight and glue them up. some were spinning on the rims.



Also i got a lead on a knight hauler with a box trailer and the MFU and everything upgraded for 1500$... tempting.. very tempting...

[RCTech9]

GO FOR IT:eek::D

[Stuff]

ah $1500 is a bit outta my budget atm lol. I got a new toy in the works to.


Today I got out to Mog's place for the first time in MONTHS and we got the deck mounted, the plow mounted higher up and with bigger screws and the 5th wheel on.

Well since my truck is going on a holiday this weekend possibly I needed to beef it up. bye bye re-treads! hello Fulda!!
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a379/ANTheStuff/RC/Mr%20Plow/IMG_3156.jpg

Poor spare drive axle got robbed of the brand new fuldas :D
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a379/ANTheStuff/RC/Mr%20Plow/IMG_3157.jpg
And they look AWESOME!
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a379/ANTheStuff/RC/Mr%20Plow/IMG_3159.jpg

Made some clearance. Cant be draggin that battery so low anymore
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a379/ANTheStuff/RC/Mr%20Plow/IMG_3158.jpg

And GLUED the rear tires finally! sick and tired of wheel on tire slip!
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a379/ANTheStuff/RC/Mr%20Plow/IMG_3160.jpg

And its been too long since i last glued a tire and well i got more of it on my hands then I did on one tire lol. I was in the process of gluing the back set of duals that are weighted and it popped off a bit and BB's everywhere! and then glue all over my hand and table... blah!!
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a379/ANTheStuff/RC/Mr%20Plow/IMG_3161.jpg

Other things I did was fix the servo horn for the left/right operation of the plow. the ball joint was slightly worn out on the threads and it came loose. just changed it out and put a 2mm nut behind it and glued it on so it cant back off by itself. Another thing i might have to fix is the part that holds the plow at the very tip. Last time out plowing i hit a hard spot i guess and it folded the blade ahead. Might have to get some metal link ends to change out the plastic ones.

[Darkrider]

Looks good man!

Servus
I just cant wait to see her driving in the Snow.

[RCLogger]

greg

[Stuff]

I was gonna do that today here at work. was going to "plow the scale off" but then the city "waste" truck from the waste water management plant came out... and it dripped "tillings" all over the scale... so gotta figure out something else to try....

[mog]

i will have to get that little one set off to you but looks goo buddy glad you dich that batter holder that what the cab for lol.

[Stuff]

And I got home and had a package in the mail!! note the fronts are super singles!! yay i can use my Fulda Super Singles again!! now where are they...
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a379/ANTheStuff/RC/IMG00688-20110120-2233.jpg

[DieselKid]

Wow, that's cool Stuff!, did the extra wide steers come direct from RC4WD like that?

-Alex

[Stuff]

unfortunately not. they only sell regular fronts with 2 sets of rears or 4 sets of rears. would be nice to be able single wheels front or rears though... There is a some slight chipping but nothing serious. I am thinking of ordering some more tires though. the cross force are like 10$ a piece (per wheel!!) where rc4wd is that per set (2) tires. Kinda wanted to get the fulda ecotread tires but i dunno if garden is even back to running since buddy was in the hospital etc.

[fhhhstix]

Yes Ric is back and has been for a while I have gotten some stuff from him recently.

Travis

[Stuff]

ah good to know! still debating between the eco boost for its crazy tread or to get more cross force tires..

[Brel]

the plow looks great

[Stuff]

found my super singles and got them mounted. just gotta order some tires for the backs now.

[Stuff]

[Stuff]

well brought the trailer home for the show. hooked her up behind my truck..

looks okay right?

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a379/ANTheStuff/RC/Mr%20Plow/IMG-20110330-00115.jpg

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a379/ANTheStuff/RC/Mr%20Plow/IMG-20110330-00116.jpg

[Stuff]

Well got it sorted out. got the lights working and the beeper working to. dug out the lights that skl1cent made for the Isuzu cab. they fit perfectly as i now only have half a bumper since the last time the lights were in it lol.

I would love to thank my mother for the broken tail light lens and the missing visor on my truck to. I think it was the move before last she thought she could help me move.. well she grabbed the truck BY THE VISOR and lifted it up and dragged off the rear lens then the visor broke off and luckily it did not hit the floor! (angry face)

This is how i got stuff mounted for now with foamy double sided tape. gets it done. I want to find out how the mercades box truck gets the cab to open! id like to put that system on my truck then build a tool box or something to hide everything in.

Got the tires glued up to. Man... NEVER take apart these rc4wd rims... it is a pain to get all the discs the wheels are made of to line up again and try to glue.. so i cheated for the rest of them and just dabbed on one side and rotated them to get the glue to go all the way around.
