I've looked at the Tamiya Globe Liner for years before I finally broke down and bought one, I always liked cab over engine semi trucks. This build Im posting took place over a couple years. I bought my kit from RC Mart as it was the best deal with shipping to Canada at the time. I ordered the truck, Futaba 4YWD 2.4 radio, and the Tamiya Multi Function Control Unit along with a couple basic servos to get me started.
![]() ![]() I bought Knight Hauler frame rails a couple years ago as I've had the idea of a stretched Globe Liner for sometime. I had to drill and tap a few mounting holes to make it work. Here's a bad pic of first assembly. ![]() Laying things out for a custom front end. Headlights are cut down from the rear bumper lights. You can also see the mount I built for the speaker behind the grill. ![]() Filler piece made and I made the grill from aluminum sheet and the factory mesh. ![]() I also moved the front axle forward and started the body work to move the wheel well forward to match. ![]() Filler piece made to reshape wheel well. ![]() Made a frame rail cover from aluminium, drilled and tapped frame rails to mount it. ![]() And started painting some parts, primed then sprayed some Tamiya Red. ![]() Here she is after some paint, still only rear wheel drive at this point. ![]() ![]() More to come |
