Tamiya Mammoth dump truck
 
Does any have the " Mammoth " dump truck , never had the chance to buy one back then and now 1 has come up that has upgrades Aluminum wheels, links,screws and was never outside. I love building kit or custom trucks but with that the budget or should I say no budget because you always find more items to build or find to upgrade. Last with having 3 little kids they could play with the Mammoth and and not worry as much with a Custom built.

1. Build a large dump. Start off with a Tonka dump, find or build axles and tires to fit the dump. The the thought of lifting the dump bed worm drive or hyd.

2. Buy Mammoth. Work as is and stay within the limits of the truck ( plastic ) dump and dump lift. I would like to add the extra set of rear wheels for the true look.
A. make a New dump bed to cover the extra wheel.
B. Shorten the rear axle to bring in the width of the tires.

yes no maybe or crazy no way. Thanks for looking.

the mammoth is a monster truck like bigfoot or clodbuster
with a mining truck body on it. not very scale.
i think you would be better building a big tonka dump
plus any mammoths ive seen selling on the bay are around a grand

here is a pic of my mammoth it has aluminum arms, head lights, brake lights and as of today custom aluminum rims. I have to go to the post office and sign for my new rims from hk. its a fun truck but the dump part is not so hot if i was going to use it i would have to figure something else out like a third channel. I scored this one nib for $700.00 plus the upgrades. i have around a grand in mine. i think i saw the one your talking about i almost bought it but figured one was enough for me. i still like to get it out and drive around the yard with it. i will have to post a pic of the new rims and arms later this week
