Wow Buzzy, Reg does an outstanding job doesn't he. His boxes are excellent quality and superb build. Wish I lived there so we could run our twin dump trucks together, that would be too cool. Did you get the tailgate servo lock option?
What kind of electrical problems are you having? Lift motor?
Have you decided on a cab color yet?

Looking great so far!

John

yes I am amazed at the workmanship of these boxes!!

and it would be awesome to run both together for sure.

Yes I got the servo lock option and the limit switches. and the electrical problems were that everything was working by it self but as soon as I plugged all the motors and servos in nothing would work, but I fixed that.

now unfortunately yesterday when I plugged the battery in I didn't realize but the negative lead that goes into the esc had come out and it touched the truck motor lead and I think it may have shorted the esc out I'll do some testing today but it looks like i'm going to need a new esc.

oh and the colour is a surprise
here the truck with the cab sitting on.

Sorry to hear about the ESC, hopefully it's ok and you won't have to buy another one!

Yeah I'm sticking with black but with a little twist

And the esc is a sabertooth 2x12 rc and the error light is just flashing red so I think it's had it, I think I'll just order another one tomorrow and if it turns out to work again then I'll have an extra haha

Looks good buzzy! I'm looking forward to seeing this run around all finished up. I can't believe that pieces out of my shop are in Australia! It seems crazy for sure.

That sucks about the ESC.

Looks like you're hauling snowballs!

So it's been a while since I updated this. I sat the truck on the shelf for a while but the past couple of days i'v got the cab ready to paint and I got another sabertooth 2x12 RC a while ago too.
hopefully my paint will turn up next week.
so here's where i'm at.

I got the first lot of paint on today, no pics sorry. I'v got the black base coat down now i'v gotta do some tricky stuff with the green and purple hopefully without stuffing it all up.

And can someone clarify if a 4000mAh 3S 20C lipo battery would be right to use with the sabertooth esc i'm using?

Also what size wire does everyone use in their trucks?

thanks Buzzy

So over the last couple of days i'v got some paint onto the body, I'm happy with how it turned out, there are still some touching up to do and maybe even some pin striping

It's not completely finished but I took it outside today and moved a couple of loads of gravel with it. I still don't have the drive shaft for the front axle but hopefully that will be here next week. I also bought a 2 cell lipo so that should be here within the next couple of weeks as well.

All thanks to your dump box Reg. I was actually quite surprised by how well the screw drive lifts the weight.

Great build. Having that small electric drill would be a life saver.
