Re: my king hauler build
 

That's looking awesome! Love the green on it. Good job :D

Re: my king hauler build
 

thanks
now i need to get a trailer for it so unsure of what would look the best behind it

Re: my king hauler build
 

Really like the wheelbase. Stretched out but still not obnoxiously long. Keep the pics coming...

Re: my king hauler build
 

I'd say fuel tanker or maybe a step deck

Re: my king hauler build
 

Check out the stacks from Snochaser in the vendors section. He should have something you like!! Stretched frame looks about right for a King Hauler. Just wish that Tamiya would offer it that way to begin with. Tanker would look good behind your tractor.

Re: my king hauler build
 

cabs got any idea where to get a stepdeck thats not gonna cost me and arm and a leg

tc1cat
yeah i agree tamiya shold have done this length for the king hauler to begin with the stock wheelbase is waaaayy too short atleast in my opinion

i ordered a set of bull pipes form pmd last night for it we will see how they look on her when they get here
thanks for looking guys

Re: my king hauler build
 

mow has pmd bull pipes on it they look soooooo much better than stock and visors off at the polisher as soon as it gets back ill take more pics and post with the bull pipes.

Truck and trailers are looking cool

Re: my king hauler build
 

awesome idea man thanks for the idea and thanks very much for the compliment on the rig yeah she is slowly turning out awesome and im slowly getting even more addicted to this part of the hobby lol.

Re: my king hauler build
 

That looks like one of carl taylors lift mechs
I just put one of his lift units on a tip trailer and it works great

Re: my king hauler build
 

Ian, can you tell me more about this Carl Taylor ? I could use something like that to power my rc4wd lowboy ramps.

Mario

Re: my king hauler build
 

Carl builds some great pieces for the trucks he is based in England

http://www.piggytaylor.com/
He also has a store on fleabay.

Ian

Re: my king hauler build
 

Yep that would be the guy. stumbled upon those pictures months ago figured if not me someone can use the idea

Re: my king hauler build
 

thats a cool sight mario i thought the rc4wd trailers came with powered ramps already installed on them thanks for the help guys and thanks for looking at the pics z flowe.

Re: my king hauler build
 

Hello mate nice looking truck! Just wondering what did you do for a longer drive shaft to match your 4" stretch? Was it easy? I am buying a king hauler now and want to stretch it also!

Re: my king hauler build
