Re: PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler

I'd like to make a mechanical sliding 5th wheel plate. I'm planning on getting a lot of time on this rig at Indy and then plan what needs changing. I think the C500 would be a good first project...

Re: PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler

Most of the trucks I researched had it set right where I do. I haven't checked the spacing for my bottom dump trailers but those might need the 5th wheel moved back. I will eventually have an...

Re: PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler

None of the super singles look good in my opinion. Probably the tamiya ones are the most accurate to what we have in the states. None of them have the right sidewall bulge to my eye.

Re: PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler

Theres no mounting holes on that side of the trans. Would have to tie a bracket in from the top. Problem with that is the top of the trans already hits the interior floor. Would like to keep that...

I've put a fair amount of stress on these ring and pinions before. I know they'll fail eventually though.
