Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
[QUOTE=RCP57;95729]Don't encourage me! I don't need to break this truck...I might cry if I do.
You built it once, if it breaks, fear not. You can build it again! And don't forget to post pics Mario |

Thats what we always say at the RC flying field. If your gonna crash one might as well have it on video.

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Amazing truck! Love the plumbing on the frame with the hoses and the over all attention to detail. But I can't wait to see it on some "mountain roads"...great job though!

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Thanks a lot as always guys. Cameron, I made the wheels and if you look back a little ways you will see how I did it...Nothing too fancy but somewhat time consuming. I'm kind of in a weird place right now as I have completed everything that I had planned and then some on this truck. I have a couple of small projects on the go but really don't know what I want to do next. I guess I will have to start something new soon or I might wear out the 850 driving it around!

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Well Reg, one thing for sure we all know now how big the Kenworth is. The Volvo is going to be able to load that out with one bucket full. Are you making a screw drive or hydraulic for it.

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Oh come on, the Kenworth is just a tiny bit bigger. Judging by loading Jason's Autocar it will take about two scoops from the Volvo and it will be full! I'm thinking screwdrives but I haven't got that far just yet. I will do a build thread down the road for the KH.
Oh, Thanks for the email earlier Rob! Nice! |

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Reg, I have really enjoyed watching this truck come to life - and then to second life when the flatbed trailer was added! All the details, the craftsmanship, and the immenseness! Just an outstanding model.
Ken

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Well Now, that does put things into perspective as to just how big your KW is!
How tall is the KW at it's highest point? Perhaps a side dump or belly dump for this beast could be next.

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Reg, you've done it again. Your trailer turned out awesome, and your twist throttle sound maker thing a ma bobber is probably the most convincing 2 stroke diesel simulator I've heard yet. That's really cool. Who would have thought? Thanks for the explanation on the turntable and trailer's lack of a 5th wheel pin. It makes perfect sense to me now.

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Thanks a lot Nate. Yes the sound thingy worked out pretty good! I wish I could get some shifts and air brake noise thrown in there but it sounds fairly authentic as far as the engine sound is concerned so I won't complain.
What have you been up to? Seems like you were missing for a while. |

(there is something to said about building smaller scale models in that it is sometimes if not most times much harder to build tiny little parts compared to larger scale parts....but you just can't beat larger scale models...again great job on the truck !!! I will most likely be picking your brain for help..LOL..) |

I agree about the smaller models. My biggest challenge so far has been trying to deal with using thinner and weaker metals. I really don't like using bolts to hold together things that would be welded on a 1:1 but welding really thin metal doesn't come easy for me. The other thing is strength...I'm used to building things heavy and not worrying just like you do but the smaller stuff you have to be careful! My hats off to the guys that can find a way to jam all the goodies into a 1/14 model though! Anything you need, just let me know. If I can help I will be glad to! |

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Holy cow that thing is massive! I really wanted to build my yarder in 1/10 but the size would be outrageous with styrene. Maybe someday I'll learn to weld as good as you
