Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

Looks awesome! I now have Globeliner fever:D

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

I was goIng to order some king parts from that seller but held off. Glad to hear there quality parts. The globe is looking real nice.

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

The bumper arrived yesterday and looks great. I am going to play with it this weekend and see how it will go. I am also trying to find who make the visor on the globe picture you attached?

Thanks
Chris

If you look down in the vendor section its under Custom Drop Visors. His name is Rod or Stepside

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

Awesome thanks!

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

looks good and you make me want a globe over my KH that i started.

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

Looks like an awesome start to a great build!!:D The stock to custom ratio is spot on, cant wait for more updates!!:cool: Keep up the good work!

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

Slow progress due to the fact that I am waiting for parts to arrive;

So below are a few of pics of the second tanks having been installed and I added a trailer line pole to hold the cables for the trailers brakes and lights.... mostly lights though lol

Next I need to mount the knight hauler control box across the back for the MFU.

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

Hey guys..... a quick question.... I am going to add a few LED's here and there. I have heard horror stories about adding aftermarket LED's and connecting to them to the Tamiya MFU? Has anyone wired in aftermarket LED's into your Tamiya MFU without issue? Or do you only add Tamiya LEDs to the MFU?

If you have used aftermarket LEDs where did you purchase the LEDS?

Thanks guys

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

Some more small update as parts arrive.

Center drive shaft is mounted;

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

Thus far I have mounted the square style bumper. Next I am going to mount Steves rounded corner bumper and then choose which I like best;

Nice build , that bumper looks good only thing you need to do is move that axle forward.

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

Where did you get your "trailer line pole"? I've never seen one like this. Very unique!

Better known as a "pogo stick":D;)

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

your gonna love steves bumper, I have them on both of my globes

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

I used some parts from boxes I had laying around. The pole is probably a bell crank steering post and the little spring at the top is from a nitro kit, used to hold the pull start handle against the engine block.

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

Your right.... STeve's bumper wins out! Looks better. I wish Steves bumper was a little closer to the front wheel, but all in all it looks great!

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
 

So here is a couple pics of Steves bumper mounted. I put a couple screws in the center member to suck the body down flush to the bumper.
