i finally get to join the king hauler club!

[hippy]

santa finally came by last friday and dropped of my truck! what a nice truck to build. just need my electronics now and then time to start modding. and since there has been a couple hundred built, no need to show the stock build up.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/rcrehippy/IMG_2955.jpg

now to mod this truck and start the rest for the big rig rat.

[Goose19]

cool stuff! is this one going to be the rig rat, or is this an additional one?

[gun]

Congrats on the king hauler ! Santa made you wait long enough. Lol . Now you just need to take it all apart and stretch the frame and get some S&P fenders for the front and rear and stacks and the list just keeps going ! Be sure and post lots of pic. For us

[SWAGGER]

Nice one hippy, congrats! I really wanna get myself a King next, although, there have been a few nice GL builds of late too, startin to struggle with a decision. Oh...ok....both!

[Diesel Demond]

what a great feeling!!

[hippy]

thanks guys,
yes the pipes are coming, yes on the single head light. no on the fenders, just going to fix these ones. i like the looks of these fenders and tall tires. yes on the stretched frame. no on the rig rat, needed the measurements of the frame and rear diff to get the frame set up for rat.

on the gl or kh, it was a hard choice yes! thought of the globe and put a huge drome box on like the rig my dad had many years ago. but the king hauler was easier to get here so they made my choice for me.

and yes it is an awesome feeling to have her here, thank you.

[hippy]

well spent the weekend rapping other rc's but, it's a runner. let the modifications begin.
here is the trailer that came with the mack truck(donor for the rig rat).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/rcrehippy/IMG_2959.jpg

[SWAGGER]

Pretty decent trailer. Did you say that you picked up the Mack and trailer for around 100 dollars? That's a great deal!

[hippy]

thank you

yes i did, at a husky truck stop here in Edmonton. mack was an rc already. but when i charged the battery for it and put it in for the first time. poof! up in smoke went the circuit board.

[hippy]

made my pipes today,

[TRUCKMAKER]

Hippie, are you going to paint your stacks or have them plated? Nice and fast build BTW!

[biggusditchus]

Looks great, what size copper pipe is that?

[hippy]

thank you.

Hippie, are you going to paint your stacks or have them plated? Nice and fast build BTW!

yes i am painting them, was thinking painting the whole thing orange with satin black accessories.

Looks great, what size copper pipe is that?

they are 1/2 inch od.

[gun]

the stacks look sweet are you going to have them powder coated or chrome them?

[hippy]

thank you. ya sorry i forgot to say. the stacks will be prepped and painted with bbq paint. after spraying them i will be heat treating them so the paint will stick. they will be satin black too.

[TRUCKMAKER]

Satin black and orange will definitely POP! Can't wait t see it.

[Brian in PA]

Cool build, I cant wait to see the painted pics.

[hippy]

thank you.

still have a tonne to do but......

[dabears]

NICE!! I cant wait to see more on it! I like that your painting the pipes that'll deffinitally stand out against the crowd. I cant wait till i can get my king so i can start my next build! Are you going to add bigger tanks to it? How long are the new rails?

[hippy]

thank you, i am going to make tool boxes and steps for the gap to be filled in with. the new rails are 30" long. and thank you on the pipes. got to figure out what to use for the driveshaft, i know i need 2 piece, but i am trying to find something around here to use as the steady bearing.

[Diesel Demond]

lookin good!

[plow jockey]

Off to a get start,looks real good.I'll be watching for updates.

[SWAGGER]

That's some stretch alright, makes a big difference huh? Gonna look great, love the homemade stacks! They can look great in matt black.

[BRICKNICK]

Looking great.....I like it alot.

[hippy]

thank you all.

and top view:

[hippy]

now the only problem i have is that the fenders don't fit under the trailer so time for a remake!

[straightpipejakebrake]

Looking good! A few guys that I have spoke with had their 5th wheel raised...on the 1:1 trucks. Dont see why it wouldnt work on 1/14...

[spudd]

love the headlights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hippy]

thanks guys.

Looking good! A few guys that I have spoke with had their 5th wheel raised...on the 1:1 trucks. Dont see why it wouldnt work on 1/14...

thought of that, just don't like the raised look though.

[dabears]

I mounted mine to the axle worked good. or maybe notch a grove where your fender mounts are it'll lower them a little... Love they way the truck looks! Lights are Sweet

[hippy]

thank you.

ya i looked at how you did yours and great idea, but i have started a new set of open fenders.

[dabears]

What did you use to make your fenders? i like how smooth they look.

[doodlebug]

love the headlights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yah, what Spudd said:D:D:D:D:D X2

Cheer's, Neil.

[hippy]

They are made from abs pipe and styrene, lots of sanding and more sanding.

Thank you.

[dabears]

They are made from abs pipe and styrene, lots of sanding and more sanding.

Thank you.

Yea that's what I use too. They look good though!

[hippy]

Thank you

[SWAGGER]

Your lights are SICK!! Yet another thing I have not seen before, love that. This truck is looking great. Sorry to hear about your 1:1 Pete, but glad you got it sorted out. Best of luck with the new power plant.

[hippy]

thank you. so far so good with the new motor, had it programmed so we will see on the next run. if it is any where near the fuel mileage i had with the last one i'll be happy. but then again i did put 3/4 million miles before she let go.

[Goose19]

now the only problem i have is that the fenders don't fit under the trailer so time for a remake!

Looking good! A few guys that I have spoke with had their 5th wheel raised...on the 1:1 trucks. Dont see why it wouldnt work on 1/14...


its funny this came up, i did some work on mine tonight and i had to raise my 5th wheel too!

i just put apiece of .080 (i think) between the plate and the bed.

a raised 5th wheel is very common on flatbed trucks and heavy haul, i know alot of east multi axle trailers require it.

Nice build btw! like the black pipes!

[hippy]

thank you. ya there are a few raised fifth wheels in the west too. just not too keen on the look.

[hippy]

So re made the fenders. Passenger side done.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/rcrehippy/57dc9566.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/rcrehippy/98955fe3.jpg

Working on drivers side now,

[dabears]

now those are different and looking pretty cool!!! cant wait to see those in color!

[hippy]

ok so here is the look of the drivers side. not done yet, miss-placed my hinges. but you get the idea!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/rcrehippy/566ad431.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/rcrehippy/c074c395.jpg

[SWAGGER]

Whoa! There you go again with some unique ideas. Looks bad a$$, very cool!

[hippy]

thanks guys! just wish i could remember what i did with those mini airplane hinges i have here.

[gun]

Nice job Shaun! The red and black paint looks good together are you going to hinge the hood even if you don't I think your truck is cool anyways !!!

[hippy]

thank you very much! i thought about opening the hood, but... lol

[dabears]

Did you find your hinges yet?? :) i cant wait to see more on it

[hippy]

lol, nope not yet. they are in this mess somewhere.

[dabears]

lol i have that same prob..... if you look at the pics of my build you'll see the bench go from completly clean and organized to distroyed and in dismay overnight..... thats usually when i cant find stuff haha

[hippy]

lol, TRUTH!

[Dreamweaver]

Looking good Shaun

[hippy]

Thank you. This has been one of the most enjoyable rc builds I have done in years.

[hippy]

out for a test run with the new fenders:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/rcrehippy/th_497faee4.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v331/rcrehippy/?action=view&current=497faee4.mp4)

[glorydays24]

Those fenders are OFF THE CHAIN!!!:eek::eek: And I like you vid.:D

Big John

[dabears]

Sweet vid!! I agree with big john love the new fenders!!

[hippy]

thank you both.

[SWAGGER]

Beep Beep digi trim!

Yeah the video is great, nice test run. She looks well out in the sun! Those fenders and head lights really make this a unique build.

[hippy]

thank you. ya got to love the singing radios! lol. dx7s, now to see if i can hook up the mfu or do i go servonaught way?

[SWAGGER]

Well hippy I thought you couldn't use an MFU with digi trims until recently. Seems quite a few people have done it. If your radio is programmable you can have a trim give you full left or full right with the throw of a switch. Pretty sure guys have used DX7's, Spectrum seem to be very popular at the moment. You should be fine either way. I think the Servonaut solution is a but more expensive, but from all of the youtube vids I have watched, I deffo prefer the sounds from the Servonout sound module, more realistic. Love the turbo whistle.

[YoungGunz]

the servonaut unit works really well with dx8, havent had any problems

[hippy]

sweet thanks guys.

[dabears]

My MFU works great with a DX5E the 7 i havnt heard anything bad about. its just harder to set up initially. i myself prefer the sound of the MFU vs the servonaut. i guess its more of what your prefrence is in overall function or sound

[hippy]

sweet, thank you. i will order up the mfu then.

[hippy]

well still haven't found my hinges yet. so guess i got to go buy some more, ( this is when i will find the set i lost here. Murphy's law.).

but in the mean time:

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRCJ3Ci_8KVrT_qvo4riHKl_Uqp_Lue3 yueqexILLytw6aCsKly

Cheer's, Neil.

[hippy]

thank you. i bought hinges today, so doors should be coming up soon.

[kaipi0070]

Very nice Truck, I really like the idea with the fenders, absolutely something different!!

[hippy]

Thank you.

Well put hinges on the hide-away box:

[sneaky-pete]

I like your ideas.......it keeps getting better with every update.:D
Keep it up!

[hippy]

Thank you, I got a couple more thoughts in my head for it. Hoping I can do them soon. Got to finish the fenders first though. Thanks again for looking.

[glorydays24]

I agree with Troy, this ride gets better with every update, and I really love your ideas for this project.:D Everything ties in well together. Can't wait to see more...and I love the skull, if you go to my thread "SLUMLORD", you'll see why.;)

Big John

[SWAGGER]

Led's in the eye sockets? Connected to the brake lights?........Hmmmmmmm (rubs chin mischievously!) Heheheeeeee

[hippy]

Thank you guys. Still trying to figure out what mural I am going to do. Was thinking a pumpkin patch down the frame cover.

Thank you for looking.

Big John, dude slumlord is a fricken beautiful truck! Awesome art!
I did my tailgat 5 years ago on my 01 dodge ram. I will look to see if I have a pic somewhere on the net here and post it.

Thanks again all!

[hippy]

Found one of my pickup:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/rcrehippy/soulreaper013.jpg

[hippy]

to do list;
1 cut out head lights and fix fenders, buy single pete headlights from www.gardentucking.com, ( fenders shaved and smoothed.)
2 pipes, and air cleaners, pipes done. ac modded
3 bumpers, Texas style, BIG YES on this one
4 extend frame, HUGE YES on this one!
5 build longer tanks, no i like the look with them tucked under the bunk.
6 lower bunk to match cab height, yes.
7 mfu install, not tamiya but one of the meny others out there will be!
8 lighting, lots of lighting, yes but no roof lights and under glow!
9 paint. working on it!
that's it for now, i think?.
thank you again.

[hippy]

so a little more done now.
a little ruff around the edges, but thats what sand paper is for:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/rcrehippy/350644e1.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/rcrehippy/8ab295a8.jpg

[dabears]

So thats why you were looking for your hinges!! looks awesome!!

[SWAGGER]

Aha! Yeah I was wondering too. You must love skulls, it's different and interesting for sure. You gotta go yellow and blue like skelator!!!

[hippy]

lol, thanks all. sorry but no blue and yellow, skelator was a cool dude, but reaper is better. need to match my dodge, lol.

[glorydays24]

Baby don't fear the reaper...I just love the skulls, great work and a great idea.:D:D:D

Big John

[hippy]

thank you sir. kinda wish i was in the east so i could join you all in one of your meets.

[Diesel Demond]

Who's baby? **** playboy!!

[hippy]

lol,

[hippy]

ok its been a long time and not much done. but had a brain storm the other day, saw a pic of a guys bike mounted to the frame rails of his truck. so...
yes or no?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/rcrehippy/IMG_4158.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/rcrehippy/IMG_4159.jpg

[dabears]

Ive seen them mounted like that before... Its not something you see everyday. Personally i think that the truck looks good without it.

[hippy]

Thank you sharkey. Been almost a year in the build

[glorydays24]

Shaun, I don't know about the bike...:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: But if you like it, that's all that matters in the end, because it is your truck.;):)

Big John

[Diesel Demond]

i say nay. from the reaper crew

[Kaf343]

Truck is looking good, nice work and going to be interesting to say the least. Good job.

[hippy]

tank you kaf343!

diesel demond, its a tie between 4 web sites im on, so by the end of the weekend i will see.

thanks for looking!

[hippy]

Ok so i forgot to build the bike rack today, but something came in the mail so it got done instead!

[Diesel Demond]

yeah it matches the theme so it wont matter in my book. and i think you got a couple of injectors out. looks great so far

[hippy]

So couldn't sleep, well might as well be constructive. So......

No worries man! My truck still hasn't had anything done to it but is still Runable and stuff. Can't wait till winter to start building into it and if you go next year(hopefully :D) we can meet up and cruise around. http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh486/OUTLAW_W900A/255500_10201258449446748_483924282_n_zps02378b03.j pg

thanks again.

[blitzk]

Man, I want in on this action too!! I also live south of edmonton. I have 2 Kings, a Knight and four trailers but nobody here seems to be interested as much as myself. BTW, awesome build, Hippy!!! If you guys do something in Red Deer next year, let me know. I would gladly bring my rigs down.:D

[hippy]

Sweet! This is getting to a fun show for sure! We have a year to plan this so ya cool! I'm in for sure. And thanks too eh. Ya a year and a half on it and probably another year before I make up my mind on what's left to do.
