Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Well, after being at work for 2 weeks, finally home and some new parts have arrived.....so as much as I didnt want to, i bit the bullet and completely disassembled my truck, again. This time was the most extreme. Stripped right down to frame rails. The reason for such insanity is for the frame rail extensions i bought from PMD, custom aluminium cross members, motorized support legs servo, rewire and reorganize sleeper area to fit the MFU, my new TX board for wireless trailer lights and a mini smoke generator which plugs directly into mfu in place of shaker motor. I hope it all fits because I also have a set of John's custom mitred stacks coming which will look great with smoke coming out:). Anyway, enough talk.Here's some pics.

oh oh remember mario we live in canada so make sure it will pass emissions :p:p:p

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

LOL, how true. It's all about the emissions nowdays. The electronic engines of today can create so much horsepower but are set low to meet emissions....no more pulling out your fuel injection pump rack tooling and " turning things up a bit". :)

Not sure if the smoke generator is going to stay on my truck, I've heard reports that the smoke can leave an oily residue and if true......if I get one microscopic drop of the stuff on Super Bling, thats it, smoke will be gone!

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

got some more done on Super Bling today. Deceided to start laying out how things are going to fit in the sleeper.

something like this.....

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/...epermockup.jpg

then an idea came to mind. I want to be able to remove the battery without having to move or disconnect stuff so , using nothing but leftovers from my trailer, I made a rack and shelf out of the vertical stake from the flatbed and remnants of the front plate.

its not the best looking but , it works!
Also, after almost 4 hrs of work I got a deck plate made for the 5th wheel servo. Unfortunately the plate i had to work with was not long enough to cover entire deck so I installed the original to fill it in for now. Wow, there is not much room for error when installing that servo! Turned out that the frame rail extension mounting bolts are right where the servo needs to be. It took alot of trimming and grinding to get it in there!

How did i know u were gonna stretch that truck. it looks good and clean. will be cool to see it done with that sweet trailer!

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Thanks for the heads up. This smoke generator thing is a experiment. The cons are: white smoke not black , leaves a oily residue , lack of durability . The pros are: ????? Haven't found one yet. Maybe that's why I don't see many trucks with smoke? Come to think of it, today's electronic engines don't smoke! .......Atention ! Smoke generator for sale ! Never used! Lol

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Thanks, glad you like it....I wanted to wait until all is done to post pics but i cant wait!...all thats missing is Johns mitered bull stacks.... enjoy!

using an old step from the plastic fuel tanks I cut it to size and made a step for my new space behind the sleeper.

I cut the heads off of cotter pins to make air line ends lool like glad handles!...lol

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

That's bad a$$ looking Mario! Love the stretch looks much better with it!

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Much better with the stretch. It would be nice if the stock truck trucks came with a little longer rails. The trailer looks good also

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Thanks Aaron , glad you like the stretched look. So do I ......don't matter how much bling you put on a truck if it don't look right eh?

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Thanks dmess62. I agree. Both truck and trailer are a little short coming from tamiya. The trailer was just too short and the truck cab looks way too big for the frame. Now with the stretch, things are actually normal lookin. I'm not complaining bout tamiya , I think they hit marketing genius with the king hauler. It can be a Pete or a Kenworth....it can be long or short. Correct me if I'm wrong but, variety and options are the spice of life correct?:D:D:D

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol

Very Nice Job So Far

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

lookin good cant wait to see the reefer trailer hooked to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Nice and shiny, great job. Where did you get the air lines/ glad hands from?

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

well done! like the stacks. they smoking yet? and if the opp stops you for the smoke, tell them the truck is from alberta! we love our smoke!

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

I can't figure out how to attach multiple quotes to a post like I see others doing but wanted to thank everyone for their comments and for lookin!

Mario

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Hey Snochaser, I made the air hose's from 20 gage solid copper core wire which I wrapped tightly around a steel rod ( the rod was actually the leftover piece of driveshaft from my PMD driveline I ordered when I stretched the truck. )
The glad handles are cotter pins which I cut the ends off, pinched the wire core into and soldered. I was considering making a connection point on the trailer to hook them too when I realized, I just spent a pile of time and money eliminating connections and installing a wireless light kit and now I'm adding wires back on the trailer??? Lol. I may still do it, real easy to do.

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Hey hippy , no smoke yet. After almost 2weeks of my truck and trailer being tore apart on the workbench, I'm happy to see it together again and just want to enjoy it for awhile and admire the " bling " before i complete the smoker install. The unit is in the truck, just need to find some tubing and a way to connect to the stacks. Also need to figure out a way to fill the unit with oil without having to remove the body everytime. I hate removing the body, man there's a lot of wires in there I tell ya! :eek::eek:
Thanks for looking !

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Thanks Spudd! I can't wait either. I think it's going to look wicked! I've got a bit of a surprise also. I bought a tanker trailer and should have it complete today. It looks great behind the truck. A shiny truck needs shiny trailers and your reefer plus this tanker make a great set! Looks like a sunny day today, will try and post pics.

Mario

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

I got my sun glasses on let's see these shiny pics! ;)

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol

That tanker looks right at home behind king bling! That setup looks Sweet!

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

thanks dabears , i knew the tanker would look good but hummed and haaawed about the cost for along time. But then one day tower hobbies had a promo deal on , plus I'm a member so managed to knock almost 75 bucks off so that was enough to get me to buy it and now that it's together and hooked to the truck....I'm very happy with my choice.
I ordered another wireless light kit for it and motorized legs. 8 extra marker lights / 4 per side. Have plans for a custom Decal for truck and tanker. The ying and yang symbol that swagger brout up a few months ago on this thread. anyway, thats it for now. Thanks for lookin man.

Do you carry your truck with cloth gloves? Not a single smudge or finger print

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Thanks Mario , you have a very sweet truck n trailer too. I love the attention to detail and realism of your trailer. Nice work!

Mario

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Hey Aaron. I wear laytex gloves not cloth.:D:D .....seriously, everytime after running the truck or doing repairs I use a swiffer duster to remove any large particles and then use the polishing cloth that came with the truck to remove prints and smudges. When not in use, I store the truck in a large tote box. All my orders from tower hobbies come with " air bag " type packing. I saved it all and surround the truck with it in the tote. The truck is nice and snug and safe inside. No dust, no damage. Im always very careful and cautious when handling the truck...... Can you say... " anal " ..... Yes I am !
Did I ever mention the fact that I armor all the tires on a regular basis?

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Absolutely awesome Mario, I'm going to have to step up my game I see for the next time we get together!

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Thanks Shawn. No need to step up your game. After meeting you guys and seeing what you've all accomplished , I'm in catch up mode. I've been hooked on RC trucks since I bought my truck, but since the Clifford show, I can't get it out of my head, I'm RC crazy now! :D:D:D , just can't get enough, of this wonderful stuff! Lol
