Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Thanks Joe. I think for the price I will run a Sabertooth as well. I have them in all of my other scratch builds so it keeps it simple and I haven't seen much in the $70 range that works as well for these things.
Thanks Jason, It definitely looks squished with logs!lol |

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Hey Reg, take a look at this sound module? http://www.beier-electronic.de/model...-rc/usm-rc.php
I used google translate to get English. Scroll down and click the various engine sounds. Cheer's, Neil. Last edited by doodlebug; 04-01-2013 at 04:47 PM. |

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Great work Neil, I never heard of this place before http://www.strikemodels.com/products/speed-controllers/ and reading the Blog area, the company just move to Washington, so that's just a short hop for you Reg.
I just phoned in my order for four Viper Marine 15 esc's, then they'll send me a PayPal invoice via email. They said they have them in stock & will be going out today.

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
A worthy addition to the KW 850, Reg. I like it. Are those radiator shutters? If so, are they going to be functional? Just kidding!

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Haha! Yeah they're "supposed to be" shutters. I'll leave the functioning shutters up to someone like Ari! It's cold up here in Canada anyway Eh! Might as well leave them shut!

I haven't done much with the vehicles the last few years...something else seems to have taken over all my free time and money It is nice to take the truck out for a trip down memory lane every now and then though When I started building toys I thought it was great because they didn't take up much space and they were much cheaper to build. Now that I have a few I've realized that I was wrong! My shop needs to get bigger or something needs to go... The shutters are made out of...well um, shutters. Sort of anyway. I took a couple of strips off of an old plastic window blind and trimmed them down. I figured that it already had a bit of a curve so I thought I would give it a try. I think it turned out OK and the best part is that it was free. Reg |

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Headlights are looking great, Reg. You seem to have a knack for making nice parts with your rotary table. Makes me want to buy one and give it a shot. Does it take some time to get the knack of one? Or is it as simple as calculating everything out, from the center of your radius?
