bigfords trucks
I figure its about I posted a pic or two of my trucks
here is the pic of the real truck. the company is out of New Jersey http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6e0d462a.jpg here is my version thinking of going with a darker blue before finishing her up http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2330005d.jpg here is the tri axle she will get the same blue/ white paint job http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/...psa051e4db.jpg |
Re: bigfords trucks
Great start to a couple of slick trucks.The color combo should really make these trucks pop.The tri axle looks heavy duty just sitting still.more pictures please.awesome

Back in the 1970s my dad worked for him and was one of his top drivers, he actually drove a truck with a giant steel tank that they used to pump the nuclear waste water from the three miles island incident into the tank and my dad hauled it to Tennessee for Joe super n another truck took it the rest of the way to Nevada. He got to meet president Carter there because he was envolved in the whole thing. But anyways Joe super has yellow n green or safety yellow Petes |

Re: bigfords trucks
dump truck has hydraulics !!!!! waiting on the esc's to power everything
the esc for the pump will be the second esc, do I remove the red servo wire and leave the motor esc alone?? never delt with two esc's for one truck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoGFms4SAyE |
Re: bigfords trucks
If both are being used on the same RX then one of them needs to have the red wire pulled. I would recommend using whatever ESC has the better BEC to power the RX and servo and pull the wire on the other one.
|
Re: bigfords trucks
both are viper marine 15
|
Re: bigfords trucks
Then if they are the same just take a red wire out of one of them then. Doesn't really matter which one.
|
Re: bigfords trucks
ok so both esc are in! Now can I buy a y-harness with two Tamiya female ends
and one male end to join both esc to one battery?? |
Re: bigfords trucks
Yes you can. But depending on how much current is being pulled I would suggest ditching the Tamiya connector for a better quality.

Re: bigfords trucks

http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6f438a4d.jpg going for this look http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7087cdc3.jpg |
Re: bigfords trucks
That looks great so far :cool:
Is it going to have a drop axle like the 1:1 or are you mostly after the paint scheme? I think she will need a set of Steves killer pete ovals for wheels. :);) Ok. Just watched the vids. I love the actual working hyd versus the screw drive set ups. And that answers my drop axle question.... Got no more room for more gizmos right? Lol |
Re: bigfords trucks
the hydro tank could be located under the pass door and the ums pump
could go somewhere else to fit a drop axle. for now the passenger tank holds the oil and the driver tank has the pump |
Re: bigfords trucks
nice fleet you have there :D
