Very nice Brian, You said the hoist doesn't go down easily. Is the bore just tight in one of the stages? Can it be honed lightly?

That's amazingly accurate. Someone said it before, but they are right. Honey I shrunk the Peterbilt! Let's hope you don't sell this one! There is a ton of work involved, and I'd hate to see it go to someone else. You are the master modeller of Peterbilts. If I could build cabs like this, I would get rid of my Wedico and go with a Tamiya! The aftermarket is getting so strong, here in the states, finally.

Well Done Brian! That's one sexy dump trk!

It's probably just a little bit of air trapped in the cyl yet. You could try bleeding the cyl again. If that doesn't cure it, then try adding weight to the front of the box or cab protector, strips of steel with double sided tape.

Thank Nathan, I've seen your wedico, and I dont think you'd have a problem modding a Tamiya!

Thank Joe! It seems to be loosing up. The weight is a good idea, I did that on my trailer.

Brian the truck looks like it dumps great and very smooth. The only thing I noticed was that when under a load with the hyd's it seemed to dim the chicken lights on the cab. I'm not sure if it was the camera adjusting back from movement or is it really pulling that much power?

Thanks! Ya, your right Tyler. The esc for the pump is drawing some amps while it is dumping. Then when it reaches the top of the stick the lights almost go out. The battery was a little low for the vid. When the battery is full you don't notice it as bad.

Outstanding!Without a doubt this has to be the nicest scale looking dump I've seen yet!Brian,once again you hit the nail right on the head!
So I see that you have hydraulics & mfu both stuffed in that cab.
Does that mean the motor & trany are on the bench somewhere?
Just beautiful!
