Lifting the body of a truck with a load!

LOL! that hang up looks liek my 1:1 today, while hauling sand to the golf course. They had me back onto the fairway.............WELL, try to, & it sank the loaded truck like yours is. I told them there had been too much rain, & that I would get stuck. Ya know, everybody's a truck driver EXCEPT for the guy operating the truck. They said that the last 2 trucks ahead of me had done it. I told them they weren't OVERLOADED, as I was. They insisted, so I did it, & left BIG ruts in their beautiful green grass. LOL!

After the tests, repairs and improvements will be made.

[Mikhai]

It is necessary to make new frame members of the dumper frame.

[Mikhai]

Repair of the leading bridges of the dumper. Blocking of differentials.

[Mikhai]

Repair gearbox "1/10 TAMIYA Toyota Tundra". The gearbox "1/10 TAMIYA Toyota Tundra" is mounted on a dumper.

Where did you acquire the Cat engine? What modifications are made to the stock truck to make it fit?

[skeeter]

The blue dump box, you made it? If bought, where from?

[frizzen]

Wow that's really coming along quick.

Are we doing work on the engine, or removing emissions controls?

Looking great! Was concerned with the twist with the plastic dump. Metal all the way! Great job!

Skeeter you can buy solid ones to use as loads or ones you can slide over the motor if youve hinged the hood. Think exclusive rc does them. Not sure off the top of my head

Thanks for the info! I think I shall acquire 3-4 for the various builds I have in the works. I HATE how you can see the UGLY can motor through the grill on the Tamiya trucks. I think it will look awesome to see an engine instead!

Hello dear friends! I build two dump trucks. Chassis 6X4 and chassis 6X6.

"1/14 TAMIYA King Hauler" dump truck chassis 6X4.

The body of the tipper is made of sheet steel. The tipper body is a tool box. Tool box is made in the Republic of Belarus. Firm "Sputnik" from the city of Vitebsk. The tool box costs 10 dollars.

Nice! I like the way you think outside the box. I wouldn't have thought of a toolbox for dump box.

[skeeter]

Mikhai, Have you any updates for us?

Looks like it's finished.
