Looking great Paul. I like the smaller diameter rim and tire combo on the lift axle. That's pretty cool. True to the original.

Thanks guys.. Life has been totaly crazy around here and a lack of front fenders is slowing me down but if i can get the fenders I would like to have them in paint in a week or so..

Well I have been building away on the 2 trucks finally I have some progress pics to show..

I have the wrap around half fenders mounted they still need to be sanded and polished.

Bumper is mounted and rear frame plate is installed.

Front fenders are mounted and the cab and sleeper roofs are rounded.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...174149_220.jpg

And I have the lift axle all finished and working.. I used a Hiteck digitail metal geared Hi Tork servo that is programmed to move at more of a scale speed as you can see it is set up to push on springs so that way the servo is not over working and the lift can go up and down under load..

Looking really good Paul, is that tag axle one of Russ's designs?

hippy 10-06-2013 02:01 AM

Re: Bull It Angus 379 Build "HOT IRON"
 
that's awesome! just one quick question though. don't you need a screw in the servo to keep the servo horn on?

Thanks Hippy and yeah there should be one there but I was not aware I needed to have it in for mock up only once it was painted and finished I thought.

Hi Tamiya Cowboy.

That is some really nice work you have done so far on HOT IRON 1 & 2.

I started building my first truck last weekend, its a king hauler.

Still don't know what color I am going to paint it yet but I will be buying a metal bull bar from Garden trucking for it as well.

From Cameron. :)
