Glad to be here
 

Hi all just glad to find a home for my new hobby interest and I am very appreciative of all the information tid bits on here as I am going after my first tipper dump 1/14 scale from scratch thanks again for welcoming me and any advice as to parts and what not are more than welcome

Welcome to the site.

Many options to think about with an end dump. I just built one using a king hauler frame,Carson lift motor, eBay lesu lift and home built box. There are people that make the whole set up for around $700 or you can scratch build it for cheaper...only advice I can give is you need to find the happy balance between max lift angel and proper leverage needed to lift a loaded box.

Thanks Mac, I am planning on making the chassis the hole good some good tips as to where to start but I want build a Mack rear dump to scale and as soon as I can find measurements I can start lol that's the hard part lol

You chouse the right truck for an end dump... For a Mack cab and hood. check out shapways.com...They make standard R600, west coast RS700, east coast 700, and RW 700 ( superliner) body's in 1/14 scale.

I have 2 of them and quality is pretty good for 3D printing..

This place and it's members did the same for me...so if you have questions we can help...

You can also search pretty easy as there are lots of topics on end dumps.

I'd have to agree especially if it saves everyone enough to allow them to build more than one toy
