great dump wish i had those toys. awesome videos

[Espeefan]

That turned out nice, Mario. I like the visor and grille. Both add a lot to the truck, along with the double square headlights. That's definitely worth the effort. Yup, I have to agree with you. The bumper needs to be changed, but it's really not that bad, other than it's plastic. What will you go with? Big square replacement, or a larger tapered front bumper?

[Claus]

I have dump truck envy.

Mario The new dump truck really looks great you have done a h*ll of a job on it.. Looking forward to seeing it the first time you and Sue are down...

Thanks Bud. Ya never know, sometimes wishes come true. It was only a couple years ago I had a wish.
Glad you like the vids. My video making skills need some work but I enjoy doing it.

Thanks Nathan. I never really liked the bow tie visor when I was building mine and Sues truck but all of a sudden I thought it would suit this dump truck perfectly. Which reminds me I have to post a pic on Rods customer pics thread
I think I will use the same front bumper as the other trucks. PMD tapered with 5 LEDs. Nothing too big so I can drive off road.
Company logo is going on the doors for this one.

Thanks For the kind words.
Ya, it's a great little system for under 40 bucks and shipping wasn't bad. Only draw back is no way to power marker lights. Each channel can only handle 4 lights.

Sorry, forgot to mention no LEDs come with it. I get all my LEDs from this place.

Great site, fast service, never had a bad bulb and decent price for prewired with resistor LEDs .

[Supermario]

ok, its official......I am a RC addict and loving every minute!
S&M trucking is not only able to haul equipment, we now HAVE equipment!
I spent my RC budget for an entire year in one click of a button and the prize has arrived!












funny story........

my aunt and uncle whom I haven't seen in over 5 years are passing through for a visit. The same day they arrived, so did the postal notice I have a parcel for pick up!
After coming up with an excuse to leave them for a bit I went and picked up the hoe. Got home, put the box in the basement and went back to entertaining my relatives

any idea what its like to be in that situation????
got on Wednesday, opened on Friday!

[glorydays24]

Nice addition to the S&M trucking family Mario. How do you like the LED's? That's where I've bought most of mine. Now let's get a vid of the new addition at work.

Worst case scenario, I would have opened that package up, just as soon as everyone was in bed. Not two days later!

Nice addition Mario, I would have Introduced them to the hobby by opening it right then

Mario, better keep an eye on that truck, it's using more than one alias.

I love the leds from that site.prewired and ready to go.
I need to get comfy with the hoe and how everything works before a video.
I'm not going to tear it apart like Dabears would .... but I suddenly realized this thing is one serious RC MACHINE

I forgot to mention the battery wasn't here yet on Wednesday, it arrived Friday. I didn't want to torture myself looking at this thing and cant run it so figured best to look at a box for a couple days.
A lesson in patience I guess Nathan.

To be honest, I waited a couple days to show my wonderful wife that I promise to not be consumed with my new toy!
