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
