Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
Looking realy good! The 777 is a favorite, have had plans to make one, some of your solutions are very good (like the suspension units). As usual, tires decide what can be built, tires used here are available over here to but to small for most scale 5,6 models.
Looking forward to see it finished! Dan

I like the tire you made and used on your truck better too!!! Your tires are nicer and much more to scale than the tires I used!!

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
Nice build ..I see a small hoist in the background...Is that for lifting your machines in the back of your truck..you may need it for your Shovel..Cant wait to see that ..lol ..they do look chunky ..whats the weight

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
Truck looks fantastic!!! Your attention to details and just the way you built everything makes the truck look like it was factory made. You can be very proud of this build. Great job!! If you make another video or just pictures would you put something in the picture to show the size of the truck.

The pics I took outside the other day are really more about actually having some nice pics of it with the fresh paint job....I don't see it be that "shiny" ever again. I did put the radio in one of the pics to help get some size reference but that isn't always helpful.....So here are a few more size/reference pics. Thanks again...glad you like the "Tonka" !!!

 ) time will tell how long it will stay together, it does like to strech that #25 chain...should have used #35 but for now I will run it with the #25 and see what happens. Your right it could be geared up a bit to get more speed , but first I want to see how it will handle a big load driving in the dirt/grass and not on a concrete floor ( that sounds like a good reason to make another video...LOL )Quote:
 The actuator does work well in this application and was a very simple way to replace using telescopic hydraulic cylinders.... however it does in this case take away from the looks of the truck box , doesn't look great but it does work...LOL Not sure of it being the coolest dump truck on here, but I'll bet it's one of the heaviest!!!  Thanks again !!

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
Wow! Very good job with your truck. Paint and details do make a huge difference, and it operates very smoothly. Big enough to do yard chores!

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
Really enjoyed your videos. I watched some of the others as well. The 110 pound load and incline test was pretty impressive! You did a nice job putting this model together, that's for sure. It doesn't seem to lack any power! Maybe you could even gear it up a little for a touch more speed.

because the dozer is just under 100lbs and the truck is just over with the battery...yup they are "chunky" ( and don't worry about the lift pulling the shelf down it's built chunky too!!! ) the lift will really be needed when I build the shovel, the way I build stuff I'm sure it will be "really really chunky" Quote:
Yes I have done some tests, here is a link to all my vids.... http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwrK...YjN3bEA/videos
