First Build - King Hauler
well guys here it is. my first king hauler and first build thread. after 2 years of wanting one i finally got one for Christmas! i have to say this is the most addictive RC i have ever had!
i am a pretty big Kenworth fan, so im hoping to build something that resembles this: this was the first attempt at the fenders: i didnt like the way it was sitting, so i flipped the cab mounts around to raise the cab up, and tweeked the hood some: i added 8mm of "height" to the hood by lowering the fenders down after matching the hood to the higher cab. also moved the axle forward, and the fenders forward so they're flush with the grill. i plan on making it a scale 244" WB, with a 3rd lift axle and some other lighting goodies. thanks for looking, hope you like! |

Re: First Build - King Hauler
Nice job on the headlights, like on my king!! I really like the work you did on the hood, good idea! I like the daytime-cab too, could be a future-project for mee, looking forward to see more pics!

Re: First Build - King Hauler
Nice job on the styrene. Relocating the axle forward gives it a great scale look too. Keep up the good work.

Re: First Build - King Hauler
thanks everyone, i appreciate the feedback, makes me want to get it done now! lol
ive ordered a few goodies off ebay (semi joe's and buddy zimms stuff) cant wait to get that stuff, and the driveline is stalled until my bearings come in. im having a bit of an issue finding stock chrome rims, i can only find one pair of duals for the lift. and of course, i forgot to order the rear hub covers for it! i also would like to find another stock KH grill. joe had one up until i went to buy some stuff and just my luck, it was gone! |
