Mack Ultraliner
 
Started out with a Globeliner chassis. The stock Tamiya transmission. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...aliner/008.jpg Painted the hubs to match the chassis. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...aliner/012.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...aliner/010.jpg RC4WD Roady super wide tires for the front. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...aliner/011.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...aliner/009.jpg

I think I have the same wheels. I bought them on ebay as well. Great value and quality but I have them put away until I have enough parts to start moddin my Harley Knight Hauler.
I would have to dig them out and compare, but i'm pretty sure they are the same.

Thanks Diesel.It's custom made. Well I removed the stock transmission and replaced it with a RC4WD R-2 transmission and 65T motor.Made a bracket out of 1/8 flatsock.And mounted airtanks on both sides of the frame. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/012-1.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/006-1.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/007-1.jpg Added some rear fenders painted them metalic silver. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/008-1.jpg Replaced the deck plate with something shinny. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/009-1.jpg The fuel tanks with aluminum brackets.Will probaly replace the plastic tanks with aluminum ones. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/011-2.jpg Installed the air cleaners. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/013-2.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/010-1.jpg

Coming together very nicely! Those fenders on the drives look sharp! Are those from the container trailet kit?

This truck is starting to look really hardcore, as in heavy haul. It's look like a really tough machine, yet still show quality. That's a good job!

Got me a set of daytons painted them black thinking I had to much red on the truck.Not sure what direction to go. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...aliner/005.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/004-3.jpg

dabears 08-09-2012 10:28 PM

Re: Mack Ultraliner
 
Totally loved the other rims better. Just my .02 if you decide to keep the daytons on i would at least paint the center caps red maybe?

Painting the daytons red would be to much red.But I do have to say I like the other rims better.

There is a point where model RCs stop looking like models. You are far beyond that point! :D
Let's see some outdoor pics! :)

Great outdoor shots!!! Truck looks very good! I like these rims. i think the others would look good with red center caps, they can say black overall though. Awesome job

Thanks.I like these wheels as well. I just didnt want to much red on the truck, I wanted to balance it out. Its getting there. Gonna use the daytons on my paystar.
