Mo Truck looks great keep up the good work..:bounce:

Exclusive RC I run 25 Tamiya MFU's on 7.4 lipo all day long it dont hurt them one bit and I have been doing it for 6 years now.

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

Thank you! Yes 7.4 lipo won't hurt them, just the 11.1v will definitely fry an MFU.

I was just gonna slap some paint on it just to give it some color but my OCD kicked in and had to give it a top paint job, just a simple working white truck... But , it had to look slippery:D

So much for not adding details, got the bulbs all installed and wired, air cleaners painted ( stock one ) and a small detail was added. I actually do not mind the stock ones, I think they look cool. Now all that's left is get the wires all wrapped up and we're ready for business.

Box is not as cool as Reg's boxes but had to start somewhere. The hood will be flush-ish once I get the hinge adjusted.
That's is for now, thanks for looking!

Nice build! Lots of things that are unique to your truck, that's always nice to see.

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

Thank you Sir!

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

That looks great to me! I like the way you painted the air cleaners. I also like the white on white look and the tilt hood.

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

Looks like a solid truck... Should be fun for the off road.

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

You gonna get any dirtwork done this summer & shine the paint off those buckets on the hoe or loader?

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

I would love to see a video of it running

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

How come nobody ever adds the old school chain hanging behind the mudflap? Would look good on an old dump truck.

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

Yes that's the plan Joe. I've been wanting to get some digging done since I got the machine, but Life always gets in the way.

Was gonna do it but my buddy with the older Mack R truck wanted that on his truck which will look awesome on his build so decided to go this rout.

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

A video would just make it awesome

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

This truck is looking awesome! Love the paint job and wondering..... Do you feel like doing another?:rolleyes::D. ;)

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

Thanks Mario! Sorry buddy, I only paint my own bodies because I HAVE to, I actually hate painting worse than anything in this hobby :mad:.

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

Your builds are awesome

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

I figured can't hurt to ask :). I too hate painting the most :mad:
For someone who hates painting you did a real nice job. It shines! :cool:

I noticed another detail, looks like the stacks have a little touch of black soot on them?

Mario

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

I think the way you painted the breathers are perfect and really looks good!!!! Not every truck needs aftermarket ones! Very nice truck buddy!!

Re: Pete Day cab dump truck
 

Lol, yeah the stacks have a little candle flame love , diesel does that to real stacks :D

Thanks Man! It's one of those projects that I just wanted to get done but at the same time I didn't want to half a$$ it.
