Re: HillBilly Deluxe
I can just see that big tractor pulling a low boy with a D9 dozer on it. Brings back memories of my younger days. Just not as heavy tractor.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
I bought ScaleArt's brass/chromed mirrors and turn signals, really excited about them but don't want to install them till the truck is near completion.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
Couple quick pics; cab, hood, sleeper and headache rack are just sitting frame, nothing bolted down that is why there are no fuel tanks in this photo. Still waiting on drill bit to drill out my Wedico rims so for now I'm using the SA Euro rims on the front axle, but now have the smooth tires mounted. How bad do those black hubs stick out? They kind of bug me but not much I can do with them. Also when the wallet recovers I will buy the other set of rear aluminum dual wheels and driveshafts.
Really digging the scale driveshafts from RC4WD. Last edited by Claus; 04-07-2013 at 02:30 AM. |

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
I really like the way this is turning out!! It has the right stance for a mean heavy haul!

Here you go Spudd; http://www.scaleart-shop.de/Brand-Mo...enna::236.html Ya, I got 'em straight from Scale Art, I love them. They have great details and bolt straight to Wedico holes. The price, it sucks, about $127.00 a pair. |

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
Claus:
Thanks for the link to the smaller jack-stands... the 6-tonners looked great but too big, but now that they make the smaller ones, they are perfect for the semi's... Now if only they made the PSP/sand-mats that were more in scale for our rigs... I've been tempted to try to make my own from the perf'd stuff out of microwave doors, but I don't have the skill to bend the material decently. WhiteWolf wishing they made more stuff to our scale...

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
Got some new front wheels, steering knuckles and some shorter tanks from Steve. Not much to show yet but here are a few shots of the new front wheels. These are not Leimbach wheels, they match my Wedico rears very well.
Also test fitted one of my Scale Art mirrors, even has spring loaded antennas. |

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
Very impressive truck you have going there! That's the nice thing about projects you spend time with, you end up with something like this. Guys like you are few and far between! I really like seeing the Wedico trucks being taken to this level...and beyond!

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
Thanks Steve, you're too kind. I just realized I need 20 small bolts to go in the hub covers. Will be working on shifting servo and diff locking servos next.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
Well after more than three years I have a running Wedico!, thanks to Espeefan that is. After talking with Nathan for five years I finally got to meet the man face to face last weekend when He came and stayed wife my wife and I, we worked on the Wedico and went to the Lafayette Farm Toy Show in Indy. It was great meeting you Nathan, you are a true friend which is the kind of things that make these hobbies fun.
On to the truck, still have plenty to do, need some rear fenders and deck plates and another set of rear hubs, kind of screwed one set up, yikes! I have to say the Tekin 55T on the Veroma 3 speed and 11V of LiPo gives some nice speed ranges and plenty of power. Installing the D1 studs in the front axle hubs is enough to drive a man to drink. The truck sits higher than I had planned or really like but sometimes with a Wedico you have to be happy with the changes you were able to make or at least that's the way it goes for me. No lights or sounds, just a smooth running truck. Thanks for looking. |

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife too, Craig. Glad we were able to finally meet in person. Enjoy your truck, my friend! The drivetrain is great, and makes it a joy to run.
