Brian I just copied what Rod had done on his green day cab tri axle. Take the out side bead off a rear rim and glue it to the front rim after I take the front rim and smooth out the edge and remove the chrome.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I see these wide rims all the time and wonder how they are made.

I did something a little different this time and added a main power switch and a charging jack so the batteries can stay in the truck and charging it is a simple plug and play. Enough talk here are some pics.

Travis can you please show how this is done? or the stuff you used? I have been wanting to do this for a while.. but aint got a clue

Great looking truck man! Is the charging jack in the front bumper? Is the port something you buy or build? I have never seen tis done before/well with the exception of a charging jack on a remote, but on a truck its a new one for me..How does the speed control for the dupm wire in? I will be building a dump trailer for my dodge, but I cant wrap my head around how the wiring will go??

Thanks Tim I have some ideas for modding the cab into something a little different so it might be a bit before I have another update.

The charging port is a Deans connector wired into the off side of the power switch so it is just like plugging the charger into battery but you don't have to remove the battery to charge it. The ESC for the dump is wired in parallel with the drive ESC so it gets shut off with the power switch as well. The ESC for the dump is from The Robot Market Place (Click here to see the ESC) and it has solder spots for limit switches to limit up and down travel and is perfect for the screw drives. For a dump trailer I like to build tool boxes under the bed for the ESC and battery so the trailer is self contained and only needs a servo lead to the trailer to control the dump allowing it to be controlled by multiple trucks easily.

Thanks to all for looking and the comments.
Travis

Well I finally got busy today and painted the truck so now I have to let it dry and I can assemble it and it will be done.











Thanks for looking.

Thanks Izzy I got the paint from one of our members here and he picked out a great color. Here are a couple pics of the cab and body sitting on the chassis. I have some wet sanding and polishing to do but it should look real good.





Thanks for looking.

Well the truck is done for the most part all I have left is cutting the side boards. The paint turned out decent, it is not perfect by any standards but I think it will be fine for a dump truck.









Thanks for looking.

That's a nice combo right there. The cab over day cab is my least favorite style - but you make them look right at home with a dump. Much better turn radius than a long nose as well. And I agree that paint job turned out good - heck a little time in a sand box and she'll look great!

Great job Travis!
