Articulating KW T800 Dump

I was lucky enough to buy some of FGD's unfinished projects, I hope My completion of them is worthy of what he started.

Here is my T800 dump I'm working on, I picked up the FGD frame and dump body a few months ago. Added some 1.9 Mil Spec tires and RC4WD rims, added a KingHauler day cab, (thanks Paul). Cut the nose off and added a 3D printed T800 nose. Made some tanks and a bumper, installed Servonaut SMX and ESC.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump

Thats right at the top of the dump truck crowd, very unique! Cant wait to see it painted and in operation, curious to see it articulate.

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump

Cool unique build Keith, nice work!

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump

Mean looking six wheeler and all wheel drive! It should climb hills pretty good. I like it...

Re: Articulating KW T800 Dump

Just when I thought all the dump truck builds going on couldn't get any more amazing!:D
Definitely the coolest looking Wiggle Wagon I've ever seen :cool:

Does the cab clear the box corners in full turn position? :confused::eek:

Thanks Brian, quality and detail could be a little better, would be nice if it was a little thicker material and printed with a polished finish. Having said that after a little body work it looks pretty good.
