Re: RCP57's first King...
The die set is made from mild steel so it should last for a while. I would like to build another set with a different shape but need to see some of my investment come back first. Only the ribs get formed in the die leaving me to adjust the height a little with the top and bottom 90's.

Re: RCP57's first King...
I like your rig. Very realistic.
A lot of the times when I make parts it takes me more time to make the fixtures than it does to make the parts. My problem when I want to make the part again I forget where I put the fixture. Ken |

Re: RCP57's first King...
WOW ! That looks amazing Reg. I think it depends where you live as to what style you might like. I know for myself i like our style dumpbox and rear bumper ( as pictured above ) All i can say Reg is i hope you do very well with your new venture and keep one for me until April ! Mike

Re: RCP57's first King...
Stacks are still too tall Reg... some operators, ya know?! you're just baiting 'em to take 'em off.
Powdercoat turned out pretty sweet! Would bead blasting the aluminum give a similar effect? I remember what your KW axles looked like. I see now how your tailgate lock works for a positive release. Genius Horizontal ribs have always been my preference too Pete, that's what's common around here too.

I think the powder coat looks great although it looks more 70's disco in person. Next time I will choose a less metallic color. I think bead blasting will just make them look chalky and attract stains. Should I take yours in before they go in the mail? The gate release works good in theory but not as good in reality. It is hard to get the geometry right with my current setup. Big thanks to everybody for commenting! |

Re: RCP57's first King...
I got some goodies in the mail today! The package contained enough parts to get this up and moving so I took the afternoon off from box building and got to installing the ESC, battery and adjusting everything. I still need to mount some things inside the cab but at least it drives!

Re: RCP57's first King...
The truck looks great Reg! You are adjusting well going from scratch builder to assembling pre fabs
I like your choice of colour but when I saw it , the first thing that came to mind is.... Where's the green and white? Have you considered duplicating the 850 paint scheme and logo onto your KH ? I think that would look sharp Mario |

I had thought about painting this the same color combo as the big 850 but didn't want to put the effort in that the multi colored paint job requires. When I get around to building a cab from aluminum it will get a more "vintage logger" paint scheme...Until then Ford, chrome yellow it is!...I can't believe I used a Ford color...lol |

Re: RCP57's first King...
Thanks cosworth.
I took the cab back off to make an adjustment to the esc so I thought I would snap a picture of the electronics. I mounted the power switch in the drivers side "battery box" so it is nicely hidden and raised the height of the cab a little to give it a better stance. The higher cab height also allowed me too put the battery under the hood. I am running a Sabertooth 2x12 for the truck and box dump so the wiring is really simple. |

Re: RCP57's first King...
I have the power switch in my KH dump the same way.
What's the electrical device attached to the cab rear wall?

Re: RCP57's first King...
External BEC would be my guess as well. I see a red and black (power) wire going in, and a servo type lead (red and black) going out, to what looks like the receiver.
Very nice job with this build Reg. Are you going to do some more 1/14 scale trucks now?
