TheStuffz' 6x6 Stretched Globe Liner!!

[Stuff]

So it all started when my Globe showed up! I had traded it for my Mercedes and the Bruder trailer and was starting over fresh.

Didnt take long and I was building the diff's and locking them up as I made them.

Got enough of the Fulda Crossforces to outfit this soon to be work truck!

Painted the cab Tamiya "Micra Red" and it turned out lighter due to white primer. It is lighter then intended but still turned out not bad!

Since I was planning on 6x6 and a guy I know was selling what was left of his HighLift, I got the body, transmission, two axles and the body off him. Frame was hacked up pretty bad and was un usable :(
The axles were heavily used so I had to buy new plastic halfs off eBay and rebuild them. Bearing kits from STELLA models came in handy there!!

Next was the roof spoiler. Yeah its kinda... different but then again so is the truck! lol

Next was the trailer. I got that 42" trailer off of here. It was a stock trailer that has been stretched and spruced up a little bit.

I got a trailer suspension and put it on. I used a pole trailer rear bumper setup and put in the tamiya trailer lights at the same time. The trailer did have lights but they were just hooked up to a single servo lead and was all on or all off. now i have brakes and signals.

since the HL tranny was huge and not geared down, I found this on evil bay and dropped it in. yeah bit expensive but a planetary to a two speed trans to a transfer case all in one.
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a379/ANTheStuff/RC/Globeliner%206x6%20Stretched/manual002_zpsabcc7ae8.jpg

I made the plunge and drilled holes and tapped it in! (ALSO!! It has an RC4WD 80T motor!)

and now I have a 6x6 Globe!! (I have yet to get the drive shafts though!!)

[Espeefan]

Looks like a really nice truck and trailer combo! I wanted one those planetary transmissions too, but when I started getting serious about buying one, Rigid RC was all out of them. Oh well. Let me know how you like that transmission.

[Stuff]

I got mine from amusingparts123. it was on the uk ebay. think i paid a bit too much for it but at the time it was the only source i knew of. there is a link on the parts bag that came with it that i got the manual off of and they list it a bit cheaper on their website. http://www.wtbcar.com/ Some interesting things on there but some is expensive..

[Stuff]

Well got her nearly assembled today.

This is how the new transmission sits

I also hooked up the cable pull for the tranny to go into 2nd gear... hope it works right.


Also the great debate... MFC-01 or Servonaught?? (if that is spelled right)

Leaning to the MFC because of the lights and sounds with vibration and will plug into the trailer I wired up...

[Espeefan]

I like how that transmission fits in the chassis!

[Dieselchopper]

Looking good!

[Stuff]

That tranny is designed for a HL I guess! oh well works for me!!

Thanks Shawn!

I took the plunge!! I ordered all 3 big rig drive shafts, and new set of hubs for the rears, and the MFC-01!! now to wait for it to arrive and for customs to have their way with me...

oh and I did some more wrenching on it.

[Stuff]

it is nice and compact. Will have to wait to see how fast it is when the drive shafts show up. if its too fast i can still fit in another planetary!! lots of room under the floors still!

[Stuart]

Cool build and that tranny looks great sitting in there, I've been eyeing them up too. looks like the same one as in rc4wd Armagedon 8x8

Looking forward to an action vid

[Stuff]

this one here?
http://www.beadlok.com/product/images/626/VV-JD00012-2.jpg

that is the "high torque" version. I cannot confirm if it is still 4wd. Seems like a waste if that is what they put in that truck because it goes to a transfer case half way down.

[Espeefan]

No telling if that new transmission is AWD capable, from those pictures anyway. A divorced transfer case might seem like a waste of money, if the new transmission has two output shafts, but from a packaging standpoint, that might be the best way to set things up. There probably isn't enough room in the center of the chassis for a motor and transmission.

[Stuart]

Here's a better pic showing that it is indeed Awd, I must have meant the 8x4 Armaggedon:confused:

Stu

[Stuff]

i think the high torque version is just an additional planetary before the transmission's built in planetary. I already told myself it is too fast ill put another one in lol

[hippy]

:jaw::eek: :drool: awesome dude! looks good. :popcorn:

[louie r/c nut]

Very cool

[Stuff]

yay parts cleared customs today!! :D :D :D

[Radio Control Trucker]

How did you hide the frame on your flat-bed?
I know there are several methods. I'm just curious how you chose to do it.

I'm thinking of lengthening my own flat-bed and would probably use a similar method.

[Stuff]

I didn't build it but here is an underside shot.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a379/ANTheStuff/RC/42%20inch%20flatbed/2013-05-07232528_zps6a5eb58a.jpg

[Radio Control Trucker]

OK, Thank you. It helps :cool:

Now I have a better idea as to what to do for mine :)

- RCT

[Stuff]

Looks like just longer angle aluminum was used for the sides and the end parts are used for bracing. very stiff believe it or not! will have to see what it can handle for weight.

[Dieselchopper]

If you have any trouble with the trailer and want a full length frame made up I can do one similar to my lead trailer of my super b deck set. Cheep and easy with where I work.

[Stuff]

will see how she goes. it's not quite as massive feeling as your super b's

[Stuff]

More work on it!

And some more wrenching!

Looking good Stuff! It just gets better and better! I might be doing a 6x6 myself soon, too. We'll see how that goes... :D

Hey mate nice looking rig, well done!

How are you finding the 2 speed you put in her? I've got the high torque one on the way just keen to see how you like it.

Thanks

[Espeefan]

Nice to see some video footage of the truck driving around. That two speed planetary looks like the ratios are pretty wide. 1st gear, about what I'd expect, but 2nd gear seems a little on the fast side....about what a stock Tamiya 3 speed would be in 3rd gear. I was hoping the ratios were closer together. More like a stock Tamiya 1st and 2nd gear.

[RCP57]

Did you figure out why it wouldn't go in the grass? Is the motor stalling or is the esc clipping? I have been thinking of buying a MFC for my KW in the future so I am curious...

Reg

[Stuff]

suspension came apart, front shaft came almost apart. was binding me thinks. watch the aftermath video.

[bowtiebuba350]

Rc4wd must like u :)

[Stuff]

lol not near as much as some others but they probably liked that order!

[Sentinel]

How'd you go after sorting out the issues? Get the drive shaft and suspension sorted and all good?

[Stuff]

ah.. i havent done anything yet. its all good, just that suspension screw for back side of spring shackle to the frame is gone. need to put another one in there and put double nuts on behind me thinks.

[Stuff]

Had some fun at the RC day in the mall

Thought I'd update this with the current rims I'm using. GPM rims from Asiatees.com

Fronts being driven are just half of a rear set with the hub put over the nut and left over threaded shaft sticking out. cleans it up nice.

Rears are just put together. each bolt around the outside does hold the two rims together! I opted not to have the cover over the rear drive nuts. I did have the RC4WD true scale nuts that made it looks like real hubs but they keep coming loose on me.. dunno why. So easy access to the hubs was needed. still looks okay to me. just not as bling bling.

[Claus]

Have you done anymore with this truck? I know you weren't 100% happy with the transmission and motor you had in it.

[Roundabout]

I forgot about this one, looking badass!

[Stuff]

Hey guys. sorry on the delayed reply!

I have not done anything to the truck... YET!

I did acquire 2 3:1 gear reductions that you put in between motor and transmission. I ended up waiting over 2 months for them to arrive.. I have one set aside for this truck and one for another project of mine.

http://www.rcmart.com/images/xs-59616-1.jpg

I am trying to get this truck and my other truck ready for the model engineering show in october. It's in Estevan, Saskatchewan if you guys are remotely close lol
