Re: My first semi build thread

Thank you, Sir
It sounds like you have quite a debacle on your hands and changing, building and creating is the best part about this hobby. For the fifth wheel I'm going with the braided steel wire...

Re: My first semi build thread

Thanks. Yea I agree with the length, I really like it and the turn radius isn't too bad either.

I started building the interior of the sleeper today as I don't have much else to work on. I also am...

Re: My first semi build thread

Starting to look road worthy. Mounted the bumper nut not finished with wiring the 32 leds on it yet, I'm going to need a larger battery for all the lights that will be on this rolling Christmas Tree....

Re: bigfords trucks

That's a ridiculously long trailer, I love it! I'm pretty sure I saw the video on YouTube yesterday. Looks like a geometric nightmare trying traverse corners.

Re: My first semi build thread

Oh alright gotcha! Yes I am aware of that disconnection of the red wire is a must when plugged into the rx. Double the voltage isn't always double the fun. I do however have an rx solely for testing...

Re: My first semi build thread

With that being said about the rod operated fifth wheel, I'm definitely going to use a steel wire for a servo operated hook. I can see how that would be a problem with a rod as you've experienced....

Re: My first semi build thread

I'm glad you brought that up Backlash. That's is one of those things you don't think about until it's too late. A steel leader would work and look like it belongs also. Thanks!

Re: My first semi build thread

That does look like a pain getting the bends set correctly but we'll worth the look of lack of visible servo components.

Re: My first semi build thread

Oh alright, I appreciate it. I'll have a look for them. Haven't used eBay in a few years since I've discovered Amazon prime lol. It looks that eBay has a bunch of stuff for these trucks.

Re: My first semi build thread

Pretty creative engineering right there. That's exactly the placement of the servo I was hoping to achieve.

Re: My first semi build thread

Ha, I was just thinking about using a mini servo under the mount today. Glad to know that it is possible to have a cleaner look, thanks Tracy for showing that to me, I will definitely use that.

You might be able to solder it , I wouldn't write it off so soon if you don't want to let it go.

Re: My first semi build thread

Are your covers screwed down or held on by other means? I thinking of using scale bolts.

Re: My first semi build thread

I'm planning on using Arctic White as an accent on the body it should be pretty sharp looking at the end.

Re: My first semi build thread

Hahaha maybe I should have a Barney soundboard for the horn! A Barney chuckle for a horn would be priceless. I'm almost at the stopping point until I get some fenders to start working on the cab....
