Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane

Well i think its time to show my T-cab Scania. This truck was originally thought as just a simple dumptruck like this.

http://i52.tinypic.com/fy3moi.jpg

So i bought a T-cab kit.

It was a lot of work to get it to line up with the Tamiya bumper and cab. It was to narrow as yo can se here.

So i cut it in to three pieces.

And then put it together again.

Next step is to fix the grill.

This is what i ended up with.

Then it took a turn to a heavy hauler and at this time i realised that a wanted a crane.

How do you like the Veroma transmission? I have been considering one for my Wedico Pete.

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane

Very nice build the cab came out sweet, the rear is nice too I'm liking the versatility of it. Plus the sweet arse suspension and crane. Looking forward to the next round of updates.

Do you have any info on the crane set, links to a website???

Anders, your Scania sure looks nice. Was that rear suspension from Getriebe Doctor ?

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane

Thats a pretty impressive set up! You guys have access to all the cool stuff!

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane

Oh its just great, small, quiet, easy to install and there are motoradapters for 4 or 5 diffrent motors. Buy one thats my advice. I even considered one for my CAT 966 loader.

This is the underside of the dumpbody. I but on aluminium frames instead of the plastic ones that came with it, its made out of styrene btw.

Made a mount for the VBG-coupling. I made the drawbar to the trailer buy my self, its made in styrene as well. I'm gonna show the trailer here as well :)

Man your trucks are cool!! That crane is awesome! Love the vids keeps em coming!!

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane

I'm interested in the LRP Truck Puller motor, have you used it yet? Do you like it? Are you running 7.2V or 12V?

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane

Yes i have used it, and it pulls my big *** excavator so i am happy with it :)
It's the 7,2V version i have in this one, next truck i'm gonna build i probably go for the 12V version. This truck is only ment for "light loads" so it's enough with the power for this truck :)

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane

Thats looking good, I was just wondering how strong the styrene dump body is, and what you treated the styrene with?

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane

No problem with the strength, it takes a full load of gravel without a problem :)
Haven't done anything with the body yet, just gonna paint it red on the inside and red/yellow combo on the outside. I will not spend so much time in the paint because I want to have a little run-down appearance of the body ;)

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane

ok, it looks very tidy, cant wait to see it all finished, where did you get the styrene from?

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane

It's pretty nice, i think the bottom is 7mm thick and the sides 5mm.

I got the hole body from a german shop http://www.fechtner-modellbau.de/shop/index.html
Item:nr is 7423

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane

I didnt even know that place existed!! They have TONS of cool stuff!!!

Re: Scania T580 8x4*4 dumptruck with krane

He has almost 9000 items in his shop :D So yes there are one or two items of interest :p

If somebody going to order from him, don't forget to change the language to english :)
