Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
Fantastic start! I don't think you'll have any problems knocking this one out of the park. She's a beaut already, and it's only begun. Looking forward to the updates, as they come!

Looks sharp Keith :cool: 2 thumbs up !
Ummmm, where is the " other motor"going to sit? Something like what TC did with his cab over where the motor is above the tranny instead of off the end? http://www.rctruckandconstruction.co...?t=5420&page=2 Mario |
Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
Great start man, I'm looking forward to seeing this baby rolling around.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
Small update I got the hood tilting on a home made hinge. Almost ready to paint.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
Nice work Keith! Great idea making one single hood hinge rather than 2 individual hinges. Much easier to get it straight I imagine.
Can't wait to see what's next?:D:cool: Mario |
Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
Great idea Keith but when all is said and done will the hood clear the cab when you tip it forward, that is the object of the J hooks that hold the front of the the hood to the frame. As you raise the hood it moves the hood forward so it will clear the cab with the tails of the hood without hitting it. Ed

I wonder if there is enough room to cut a horizontal J or more like a L slot in the frame mounting plate so from the closed position you could lift then pull the hood forward, then tilt? I'm still a novice in the hobby but after what I've seen on this forum I am sold on a tilt hood and detailed engine bay. Someday.... Mario |

Having said that, I see what you mean about the "J" hinges. That style would be the ticket. Next one, LOL. Quote:

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
The only guy I've ever seen build a tilting hood with the real J brackets is Dreamweaver. Everyone else uses regular panio hinge, just like that, and no one seems to have any problems opening their hoods. That looks like it works just fine, and it looks good too!

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
Nice job on the hinges. Mike (Dreamweaver) did a great job on the J Pete hinges. I have used the small brass ones from Lowes (I got lazy with that) on all 4 of my Pete builds. I have had no problems either. Keep up the great work!

Small update, I know the 1:1 Triple 3 has a black frame but I just have a thing for painted to match frames, so I painted mine to match. LOL.
[IMG]http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...bc8046e74e.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...b81e9fe991.jpg[/IMG] For now I went the easyway out, and used a R2 trans. But I did add a 4:1 at least. I am trying to keep as much room as possible in the cab for MFU, light controls and a wet kit.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
With your wet kit what pump are you using for this build and are those the PMD oil tanks you have on the truck, truck looks great so far can not wait to see it finished.

Not sure on the wet kit pump yet, yes they are PMD. Thanks for the comment. |
Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
Nice work, Kaf! I like how you fit the Cat engine, and figured out your steering, with a relocated servo. Just a little suggestion for you though. On the bell crank beneath the engine, for steering, I'd try to find a way to use a rod end with metal swivel ball so that your steering doesn't get all sloppy. I'd also put one on the servo.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
Nicely thought out build. I like the shift servo setup and the tilt hinge is nice and neat. Good work!
