Re: AWD International Dump

Are the blue graphics old school from Autograghics from back in the day? They look like something I used on my Clod Buster way back when.

Re: First Truck Build

Another thing I did was to get a lighting kit (I believe G.T. Power - newer black colored one) It works to operate the lights like a MFC would, but the Chinese translation seems to be missing words...

Re: First Truck Build

The MFU is great like I said (In my opinion). But in a dump truck space is tight, just like a day cab. I went with a "sabertooth" - RC model from Dimension Engineering. It is 2 ESC's in one. You can...

Re: Road train lighting

I got a response from Julie today on pricing and as you say $$$$. Tried for a bulk discount, no good as they are small company. SS-Tronics has great stuff and company. But with the size of the fleet...

Re: First Truck Build

The trailer looks good that color too! I'd recommend the MFU, they are great, everything in one package, and user friendly. But if it's going into a day cab things can get tight.(but doable) Is it...

Re: Road train lighting

I have another question. Can you hook up both hard wire and the OB1, say with a switch to toggle between the two? To operate at different option times? (IE: Road train and regular).........Once you...

Re: Road train lighting

Re: Road train lighting

I read this earlier. Would this set up take 3 circuits? 1 for RH turn, 1 for LH turn, and 1 for tail/brake light, or can it be accomplished with 1 opti-coupler?

Thanks for response!

Is the construction trailer to pull behind the dump? Just saw it and was wondering. Did that with mine. The orange isn't that bad.
