I really think you did a good job on the paint, and I love the graphics on the unit. That orange really pops. And i'm a tanker kind of guy myself.
GOOD JOB!!!:D:D:D

For your first truck it looks real good and I like the way you brought it all together with the theme and color. I guess it is safe to say it has a full set of bearings.:D

My vinyl cutter came in handy for this one.
I sat there for a week trying to figure it out. My wife told me not to over think it and go simple. After I told her thats what I did when I asked her to marry me, I got the stink eye and followed her directions. :eek:

Needless to say, Yes, it has a full set of bearing in it. It has more bearings in it after upgrading the transmission then any other RC I have ever seem. I also upgraded the screws to use allan heads. That was a b**ch as well to find them all. After I was done I found that there is a screw kit available .

I drive it about 2-3 times a month its a joy. I primarily race 5th scale so its an entire different animal.

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

5th scale now that is an animal in its self. I have the 5B ss kit, the only r/c I have that you realize you have been playing for 45min non stop when it runs out of gas. To make it worse Large Scale R/C is just 45min from my house.

Truck looks great!! And after i stared at the picture for awhile, the organization of the tools in the back ground is just amazing :D

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

Nice job with the truck. What type of radio are you using for it?

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

that orange really dose "pop"

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

Looks great Eddy! Welcome to the board!

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

Welcome fast eddy, the truck looks great .....very nice combo. Makes me really want a tanker for my globeliner.

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

That tanker sure looks great on there. My KH is painted bright orange just like yours.

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

I like the truck, but that is one nice workbench you have too! Mine looks like a tornado went through it, but at least it's well lit, kind of like yours! Welcome to the forum, by the way.

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

What's this workbench you speak of? Is that the flat surface thing I built in my garage years ago and haven't seen since?

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

Graphics are hot! What did you use for them? I mean did you make them yourself or premade. Either way nice job.

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

nice tank i like the graphics real different!

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

Good lookin clean truck... Welcome to the nut house.great to see you here

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

That's a beautiful tractor and trailer combo, nice work. I also envy your workbench!

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

nice clean build on the tractor and trailer...also clean build on the work shop/space

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

:D I post a truck and you all look at my workbench.:D

Im a freak when it comes to my tools and workspace. I have 2 exact setups, One at my house and one at my shop. I use a tool and put it back. I dont even need to look when I grab one, I know exactly where it is. Yep, A FREAK... The rest of my garage is a mess but my bench is located in the Twilight Zone.

The graphics on the tank are simply vinyl. I did use a vinyl cutter however after I was done decided it would have been easier to just use a straight edge and a razor blade. You can go to any sign ship and get some scraps or just buy a few feet of it. Its cheap and do overs are acceptable if you screw up.

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

I think I should quit now. I could never even get my work bench to look that good. Never mind a beautiful truck like that.LOL

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

That orange paint and decals really pops off the truck and trailer....you have to try to get some outside shots and let that baby light up




BTW, thats workbench is a bit too clean for me:p..You should see my work bench area days before a meet...It would give you a heart attack :D

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

Great d-cal work - something I have no patience for......I like the color scheme - as usual your wie was right - as is mine...LOL

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

I don't much care for the stock truck and trailer but yours really looks great and nice touch on the personal decals...

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

Love the hardware upgrades! Nice clean build.

Re: FastEddys King Hauler and Gas Trailer
 

WOw the orange looks great, really stands out with the trailer. Nice clean build!
