Hey Mario, if the slag doesn't get hard enough? Sprinkle some concrete powder on top,
Mix it with your rake, compact and water it for a hard surface. Cheers, Neil. |

I think it will work great and will give it a try. So a couple weeks ago I was surfing Ebay and I accidently bought something This hobby started with a transport truck which then added a forklift, loader, then a tank and a ship Well, I've had a interest in getting a rock crawler for awhile now and when I saw this I couldn't say no. lol First thing I did when I got it..... I installed the spare set of stacks I have from PMD I think the scale and size is perfect! What I like the most about it is the rugged, rough look. No need to handle with kid gloves like the rest of our fleet! I may leave it as is or maybe a simple flat black bush truck paint job may be in the future. Thanks for looking Mario |

I noticed that he forgot to mention that he caused a boo boo to each truck in the daylight. LOL. He certainly did make the most of an unfortunate situation. He played until 3am last night...

Funny part is that both trucks got the same ding in the same spot caused by the same thing You can hear the moment it happened to my truck as I scraped the rock cut with the left front corner of the bumper in the daytime video Going too fast and was watching the quad axle trailer room on the other side! Then, about an hour later with Sue's truck and the lowboy trailer ( which is even longer) didn't I tag the same rock with the same spot on her front bumper and the trailer caught a rock on the other side Ill post pics to show nothing major but, good thing I'm part owner in the company because if I was just a hired driver..... After yesterday, I'd be fired for sure! Needless to say, I made the rock cut turn a lot wider now No more scrapes! Mario |

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
I wanted to share a sneak peak at our future " spare parts " truck build. Susans daughter Cassidy likes the trucks but is terrified to run ours in fear of doing damage, so to make her feel more comfortable I figure a truck built from mostly spare parts should get her behind the wheel on this one.
Susans Uncle was here for a visit and true to his word he brought the made in china plastic 1/14th scale RC truck he found last summer! So here is the body Im thinking of using. Comes with the side skirts, I forgot to take pics of them. Check out the entirely chrome dash! which is in good shape unlike the rest All the parts I need to build are almost complete and will be doing this one as a winter project. this will be my first "casserole " build and looking forward to it!

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
So true Reg.......so true. Maybe I can do something bout that, we'll see.
Started another project I've been wanting to do for a long time now. The reefer needs lights!!! This trailer is one of my favorites. It is the first thing I purchased off of the forum. An awesome trailer I got from Spudd. No big projects going right now so perfect time to light er up! Heres where I'm at so far.... 12 lights each side, 3 up front and 4 out back. It's not a Smiley size light job but should look good. Let the wiring begin! thanks for looking Mario |

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
Cool looking trailer Mario. If Spudd built this trailer, I'm guessing you couldn't tell me where the material for the sides of the trailer came from?

Improving skills, learning new ones and opening the imagination to new ideas is a big part of the love of this hobby for me. I had a real crappy day at work yesterday and yet when I got home, I went in the shop, sat down and started working away, it didn't take very long and all the stress was gone like it never happened.
