Well guys I'm winded down on this one. I got everything dialed in today, and I took a small video. the scope is still a little tight I have to help it down a bit, but it'll work in. Thanks for looking, enjoy!

Can't believe my eyes Brian, best I've ever seen!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump Video added!!! 11-20-11

That's cool Brian!:eek:
I'll take one of those:D

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump Video added!!! 11-20-11

Very nice Brian, You said the hoist doesn't go down easily. Is the bore just tight in one of the stages? Can it be honed lightly?

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump Video added!!! 11-20-11

Will u sell this one like u did with ur yellow pete?

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump Video added!!! 11-20-11

love them coal buckets Brian :D looks great

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump Video added!!! 11-20-11

tks for sharing the video!

I was looking to see that lift axle working... !!!

... time TAKE 2 !!! :D

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump Video added!!! 11-20-11

That's amazingly accurate. Someone said it before, but they are right. Honey I shrunk the Peterbilt! Let's hope you don't sell this one! There is a ton of work involved, and I'd hate to see it go to someone else. You are the master modeller of Peterbilts. If I could build cabs like this, I would get rid of my Wedico and go with a Tamiya! The aftermarket is getting so strong, here in the states, finally.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump Video added!!! 11-20-11

Well Done Brian! That's one sexy dump trk! :cool:

It's probably just a little bit of air trapped in the cyl yet. You could try bleeding the cyl again. If that doesn't cure it, then try adding weight to the front of the box or cab protector, strips of steel with double sided tape.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump Video added!!! 11-20-11

Wow you must be really pleased with your work. Just need them magic rims hey ;)

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump Video added!!! 11-20-11

Beautiful Dump Truck Brian! GREAT job!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump Video added!!! 11-20-11

Brian the truck looks like it dumps great and very smooth. The only thing I noticed was that when under a load with the hyd's it seemed to dim the chicken lights on the cab. I'm not sure if it was the camera adjusting back from movement or is it really pulling that much power?

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump Video added!!! 11-20-11

Outstanding!Without a doubt this has to be the nicest scale looking dump I've seen yet!Brian,once again you hit the nail right on the head!
So I see that you have hydraulics & mfu both stuffed in that cab.
Does that mean the motor & trany are on the bench somewhere?;)
Just beautiful!
