My King Hauler

I like to share my King Hauler with everyone. I wish I could claim that I built it, but I can't. I found it on eBay.

It's an older RTR build, but in great condition. It came with all of the electronics including a Tamiya 56501 "Electrical Unit Set", which controls all of the lights, and backup beeper.

To get it running I had to replace the Futaba 75 MHz receiver. Next I replaced the the tired 7.2v NiCd battery with a 3S Lipo. I noticed the Novak ESC was getting pretty, even on short runs, so I replaced it with a Tamiya TEU-105BK. finally I replaced the 12t Diamond motor with a RC4WD 65t.

It's really a pleasure to drive now, and I'm looking forward to getting to run with some of you guys at an upcoming show.

Actually it does have a visor, but it fell off during shipping, and I haven't put it back on yet.

Changing the motor from a 12t to a 65t really slowed it down to a much more manageable speed.

Thanks, I'd sure like to have a trailer too. Maybe Santa Claus will put one in my stocking!
