Wow! That trailer is incredible.

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

wow man nice work truck and trailer are awesome.

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

Whoah! That trailer is awesome! Smooth side, all polished. The lift cylinder is smooth as glass. Your UMS pump is so quiet too. Let's see some more pictures!

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

WOW!!

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

wow can't wait to get this up and running, you have done some amazing work!!!

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

Awesome combo! I'm in love with that trailer. Smooth side, lift axle, polished, exactly what I have been wanting lately. Did you build it?

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

Looks great, Aaron! Glad you got this one up and running. Is the pump contained on the trailer? I couldn't see a hydraulic line running across.

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

Your tractor and trailer look very good. Ed

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

Looks great Aaron, really nice. Anything scale art is smooth as silk. Good lookin' combo.

Super Nice Set you have there. Very interested to see more. Did you get the cylinder in the group purchase from last year? thanks for posting.

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

And priced like German silk!

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

Well when you want the best you pay the most and you are right about the German silk I think I paid enough silk to make a shirt with this one LOL!!!!

Scale Art said they would do the cylinders again but the smallest order they will do is 5 cylinders for about 575 euros with shipping, think I might have to do another order.

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

Sweet set up you have there, for a man that just recently surfaced on this forum your work is getting better with each build by leaps and bounds. Excellent job on that trailer especially.

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

Nice looking combo Aaron! Did you sratch build that trailer? You've been cranking out some awsome builds lately. Great job!

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

awesome rig. i always thought the bruders were a tad bit smaller than the tamiyas, but it doesn't look that way at all.

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

Awsome set up that dump trailer is sick looking love that smooth side.

Very nice trailer,I was wondering when someone would do one of Steves smooth sided dumps looks good with the Dog;)

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

thats not mine :confused: thats JMI's ( Ralph)

Re: Mack Granite with Dump Trailer
 

Thank you. It did not start out this nice at all..... I wanted to throw it against the wall a few times but its slowly getting there as I rebuild it. It started as a (ralph) trailer.....

Thanks!! I try

Yes the cylinder is exactly that scale art im loving it. It can be tempermental until the air bubbles are all out though.. More pics are coming soon. ;)

:) yea its pretty nice.

As long as you like it that's all that matters :) This trailer was worse then the first one.. But I think its coming along nicely. I can say this... I have had every screw on this truck out at one point or another.... (theres a lot of screws....) lol

I did not build this one And if I had the metal tools I don't think it would be too hard to recreate.. But better.. Ill put in a good work with the owner im sure he'll sell it.

Yea its been a pain as you know but its working pretty smooth now. I wanted to make it completely self sufficient but this ram takes way too much fluid. In the videos the pump is actually sitting on the table behind the truck. Video 1 shows it in front of the truck. Everything will be on the truck and trust me that's no easy thing with fitting the battery,2 esc's, pump, receiver, and now having to use 2 tanks for fluid killed the pump hiding in a dummy tank.... No worries ill make it happen one way or another..

Thank you!! The owner and I thought they would look good together.

Oh yea!! Ive seen a few items of theirs and I have never been anything but impressed. and like with anything else you get what you pay for!!

Yes the cylinder is from the first purchase last year. I plan of posting more in the next 3 days as I am off and am doing nothing but finishing this combo by Friday! ( I really hope)lol

Its just money right??? :p Maybe with Izzy and Steve making some nice looking dump bodies now more people will be wanting one....

Well thank you!! Yea not too bad for only a year now in the hobby.. This will make truck 11 or 12 and trailer 10 I think that I have rebuilt or completely built. Im loving it its fun!! Now if I can learn to paint good and do better body work id really crank them out..

It is scratch built but not by me originally... I did however tear it all apart and rebuilt it so it was functional and worked good.

No they are not too bad... This os only one of the Bruder Macks. I hope to start another build In the next few months with another one.

Thanks Tony!! I like both the ribbed and smooth sided trailers.. It wont be as shiny as Benny's but it'll have just the right amount to look good.

I wish it was Steve's I wouldn't of had to rebuild it!!!!

HAHA yea that was the first to go those JMI stickers he had..... I burned them is that bad? :)
Put a rush on those Tanks!!! :) ill call ya tomorrow anyways got a few more questions to bounce off ya.


Thanks for looking ill be posting more pics in the next few days
