Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Nice updates. Like the Scania a lot - looks good pulling that trailer!

On the new king hauler, are the front wheels offset to the outside or are that very wide tires?

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

it's carson super single wheels for a euro trailer, the tyre are from a Tamiya Mercedes, I saw a picture of a heavy hauler with something like that setup on the front axle, i've wanted to do it to the Black King for years.

Class of 66, my sticker guy made the 66 gold leaf decal 3years ago he thought it would look cool on the back of a King ;)

The red an white stribe is leftovers from the PIE trailer.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Got my rearfenders cut tonight, still needs sanding and finish, fitted an servonaut motor/gearbox so it should be able to pull some weight now.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Hi René, you do have a good eye for proportions. That rear fender looks spot on.

Not being familiar with these models, I noticed that the rear steering axle (?) seems to be a lift axle too. Any chance of a picture from underneath? (If it is not too much trouble)

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Ill post a picture when i get home tonight Stephan

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

thank you Stephan, I guess i've just been looking at to many real trucks ;)

Here is a couple pics of how i made the tag axle. The springs come from a Tamiya reefer trailer and the front axle is just a standard Tamiya. I've been thinking bout putting a rigid axle on it.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Hi René, thanks for the pictures, really appreciate that! Always nice to see what's under the hood.

I am surprised there is enough room under the front fenders for those fat tires to allow actual steering :)

Stephan

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

your welcome :) it would be nice if everybody made their buildtreads as detailed as you do :jump:
there isn't that much room,had to raise the cab about 2 mm for it to turn, it was ok when it had the mercedes wheels on the front axle, but the carson wheels grabbed the fender ;)

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

they're all great builds

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

thanks chris1210

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Hi René, in a way good not everybody makes detailed build threads ... would spend way too much time reading them and never get around to doing anything else :p

Looking forward to your next update!

Stephan
