Thanks guys. I think there maybe a better video on Facebook but I don't have Facebook so I can't say for sure.lol I know chaseracer either took pictures or video on Saturday and posted it. Anyway, my video is not very good. The water pump and solenoid run off of the throttle channel and the truck is on the right stick. I was trying to hold the camera in one hand and run the truck with the other. Needless to say that wasn't easy or graceful.

Hi Reg great work on your tanker that brass really set it off and those 22 shells for marker lights are very thought out. Keep up the great work. Ed

I picked up a new pump for this yesterday. It is a windshield washer pump from Princess Auto. No idea what it was in originally but it's in a Kenworth now.lol It had a relief valve with a really light spring. With no restriction it pumped like crazy(so did the original) but as soon as the pressure came up it dropped off. A quick dig through my spring container and I had a replacement that was sure to fix the issue. The new spring is so stiff that it has no relief. Anyway, the unfortunate part is that the tank was made to fit around the old pump and of course the new pump although smaller, doesn't fit well. For now it is just crammed under the tank but I will have to carefully cut and modify the tank later.

She's pumps out 6l of water in just a few minutes now!





Videos are uploading of it in action.

Such a great build Reg, I almost want to buy you a sound unit just to see and hear it in action.......I said Almost!

It's not just a water truck, you could fill with weed killer too! .
Best looking RC water truck I've ever seen by far.
