my oil field truck
A few photos of the work in progress,
It started off here and sorta grew into this and gained a push frame or front end guard, not quite sure what you guys call them, and this is where we are now as you can see, there is a long way to go! Last edited by uk trucker; 01-25-2012 at 12:35 PM. |

Re: my oil field truck
looks great, are you basing it off a 1:1? my only observation is that the rear axles seem too close to the rear of the truck, at least based on the flat decks I see around here, looks great none the less!

Re: my oil field truck
Thanks for the observation,its not based on any particular real one.
I've only seen photos of them and the rear wheels seem very close to the end of the chassis, maybe I've over done it a bit! We don't get any 1:1 versions over here to measure. The bed could be extended in the fullness of time. Going to give it a work out on Sunday, maybe a lot more will need changing after that! |

It is looking great glad to see you get picks up on the board I think you are hitting the mark perfectly. Civic on these oil field boom truck the rear axles are right at the rear so that way when they use the boom it does not pick the front off the ground so easy it gives them more lifting power..

Re: my oil field truck
No Brel, no video as yet but expect Tamiya Monkey will take some at Clumber Park on Sunday. Not too bad a ride out from Staffordshire if you get bored!
I'm taking it to try out and grab the "longest turning circle" award! |

Re: my oil field truck
are you going to put in a flip over fifth wheel and gin poles on the bed ?
i like the look of this oil field truck |

Re: my oil field truck
Yes to the gin poles, if you look very carefully you can see them layed alongside the outer planks, yet to drill them for the pulley though.
The 5th wheel slots into the bed for now above the pivot for the rear bogie. Truckmaker has given me an idea for a king pin rising up out of the bed, something to think about! |

the pop up pin will be good, easy to do with a little servo now how will the poles be lifted lol i guess i watched that video to many times lol but i did like the step /chain locker on the rig-up bed, again easy to do with a tiny servo , but sitting here at the computer it is all easy ROFL |

Re: my oil field truck
Nice container! Is there any weight to it? I can't wait to see a video of it hooked up to something that will lift the steer axle off the ground while it picks it up.

Re: my oil field truck
Smart racer,
Flat top fenders do look mean, any photos of your truck? This link should take you to some youtube video of loading a container, the voice over is not me , I was too busy concentrating on the loading process! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK-id...yer_detailpage |
