Re: First Truck Build
The truck looks really good! So does the dump box Reg is doing for you, nice style. Should turn out to be a real nice truck. Are you going to have the dump bed painted or raw? What color are you...

Re: Grand Hauler Half Round Dump Box
Great work Reg. You've really expanded out with the new styles and trailers. They really look good! Keep up the good work. They make a lot of us happy.

Re: Trailer parts
You can use part #s (more than one) and search for it online. If you have the part #s try at Tamiya USA. Some times they are out of stock on items, sometimes not.
The place I like to shop for what...

Re: Johnny's Grand Hauler
If it gets frustrating you should walk away for a while. It's supposed to be fun. These (Tamiya) are really pretty well designed. They are all pretty much the same in their workings underneath the...

Re: Johnny's Grand Hauler
Just my 2 cents. I would recommend the Tamiya MFC-01 over the $80 one. More pricey but I think you'll find it easier to program and operate. I'm not knocking the other product but went that way once...

Re: First Truck Build
Here is what I looked up. Really close to these sizes. Only 1/8 = the exact decimal. A 1/16 = .0625, but close enough.
.030=1/32
.040=3/64
.060=1/16
.125=1/8
The .010 is thin but easier to...

Re: First Truck Build
About the same size as the body panels. I just measured the stuff I used (comes in sheets) and it is 1/16", but I think they measure it different? I would go thinner for clear window material. Just...

Re: First Truck Build
Hi again Kausekaos,

Re: First Truck Build
The Tamiya putty is good for fine filler(like scratches, etc...) but you need bondo to fill the gap of the cut. I used "Evercoat" #100416 metal coat. (Ebay) A lot of people on the forum recommend...

Re: New Grand Hauler
I'm going through the same situation with a new 8 channel and was wondering the same thing. (haven't gotten that far yet) That being said, Don't hook up a battery pack with MFC-01, it will damage it...

Re: questions from a newb
Hey Daveroo, I would recommend going with the MFU and support legs. The 2 work together so you can connect, disconnect the trailer, raise , lower the legs, all at the same time from the radio. The...
