Well I decided to build another truck. This truck will be more versatile than my yellow KW. The theme is heavy haul with a lift axle. I modeling after a local towing company. More up dates to come. :D

AWESOME! Keep posting updates.

Did you remove each individual outrigger on the side of the lowboy to paint it. I thought about painting or powder coating mine, but I didn't know if I wanted to go thru the hassle of removing and replacing all of them. Lol

Yes I removed every individual outrigger!! It wasn't all that bad, just time consuming. Thank you!!

Ebay from semi joe.

I sent Joe a message he replied back and said he had them specially fabricated he had 3 left he would put them on ebay to hurry and get one. I went on and it only had a quantity of 2 showing so I bought them BOTH 😬 THANKS SO MUCH because I have been looking for these since I saw one on the beautiful W900 daycab of a guy from St. Louis that comes to our Indianapolis show now in Lebanon Indiana. Very excited thanks again! Oh... and nice quality job on both the truck and the RC4WD lowboy I have that trailer but not using it since I got my 90 pound Mother excavator. I bought their newest Drake trailer with 40 tires on the ground and 8 spares it’s an amazing trailer with an incredible articulating suspension plenty of ground clearance and I love the ramps on the back!!

Such a nice looking truck! Love what you did with the lowboy, the wood deck, wheels and taillights looks so much better than stock. Can't go wrong with Red!

I always thought about Steve's wheels on that trailer.

I just went through your build thread and I love it!

I have a couple of questions, where did you get that trailer, and does the gooseneck actually detach? All the lowboy trailers I have found are not American style, looking more European.

wolfws6

Its is an RC4WD trailer. The goose neck does detach manually. look on ebay also! Thank you,

Thanks, I got on the waiting list. I have been searching on eBay but I haven't found anything as nice as yours. Did you document how you did the lights on the trailer?

Who did the weathering on the excavator? I have a small timber boat, dozer boat, boom boat, log tug............(I've heard them called many different names) that I'd LOVE to have painted crusty & rusty!

That is very impressive! I really like the in-cab view video that was so cool with the CB lit up. Did I see a light flash above the windshield? I think you need a heavier load to warrant that many axles though. :thinking:

I know right! Since then I've hired a new driver, installed new antennas and a new load!

How long of an outfit is that? Also how many RC pilot cars does the permit say you need for moving that?

They are off a Bruder Mack truck. I think Garden trucking sells some also.
