Mack Ultraliner

[plow jockey]

Started out with a Globeliner chassis. The stock Tamiya transmission. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/008.jpg Painted the hubs to match the chassis. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/012.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/010.jpg RC4WD Roady super wide tires for the front. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/011.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/009.jpg

I think I have the same wheels. I bought them on ebay as well. Great value and quality but I have them put away until I have enough parts to start moddin my Harley Knight Hauler.
I would have to dig them out and compare, but i'm pretty sure they are the same.

[Diesel Demond]

Thanks Diesel.It's custom made. Well I removed the stock transmission and replaced it with a RC4WD R-2 transmission and 65T motor.Made a bracket out of 1/8 flatsock.And mounted airtanks on both sides of the frame. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/012-1.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/006-1.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/007-1.jpg Added some rear fenders painted them metalic silver. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/008-1.jpg Replaced the deck plate with something shinny. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/009-1.jpg The fuel tanks with aluminum brackets.Will probaly replace the plastic tanks with aluminum ones. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/011-2.jpg Installed the air cleaners. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/013-2.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/010-1.jpg

Coming together very nicely! Those fenders on the drives look sharp! Are those from the container trailet kit?

Thanks !! Yup those are container trailer fenders.

[SWAGGER]

This truck is starting to look really hardcore, as in heavy haul. It's look like a really tough machine, yet still show quality. That's a good job!

Thanks Swagger !!! Trying to make it match my tri-axle bottom dump trailer.It's always nice to have a little show and go.

[plow jockey]

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Very nice work that is looking great.. This is going to be another master piece.

[plow jockey]

Got me a set of daytons painted them black thinking I had to much red on the truck.Not sure what direction to go. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/005.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/004-3.jpg

[dabears]

Totally loved the other rims better. Just my .02 if you decide to keep the daytons on i would at least paint the center caps red maybe?

[Grainfarmer]

Very nice model!...and great paint job! Looks fantastic.

Painting the daytons red would be to much red.But I do have to say I like the other rims better.

Thanks!! Got the lights, mirrors, and glass, and visor installed. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/002-2.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/007-2.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/014-2.jpg I need to get turnout pipes for it.

[glorydays24]

The truck really turned out fantastic.:D:D:D And the black spokes really sets it apart. Great job.

[Bigrigger]

There is a point where model RCs stop looking like models. You are far beyond that point! :D
Let's see some outdoor pics! :)

Thanks the truck is far from being done but i'll take some outdoor pics.Took some pics outside with the bottom dump and flatbed trailers.Changed the wheels back. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/005-1.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/001-4.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/007-3.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/003-3.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mack%20Ultraliner/009-2.jpg

Great outdoor shots!!! Truck looks very good! I like these rims. i think the others would look good with red center caps, they can say black overall though. Awesome job

Thanks.I like these wheels as well. I just didnt want to much red on the truck, I wanted to balance it out. Its getting there. Gonna use the daytons on my paystar.

[AzItalian]

Thanks Alfy !! You made this build possible,when this one is done I'm back on the IH.

[Diesel Demond]

Thar truck is awesome. I might be the ugly duckling hear but i was likeing the dayton wheels gives it a true mack look! They both look great no matter what with both trailers but it looks at home with that belly dump! great truck

[spudd]

nice job on the conversion

[Loggingtruck]

awesome work on the truck and trailer.

[sassgrunt]

I would favor the Dayton wheels as well; they just seem to look more natural on a Mack. You might consider painting the rims two-tone, with either red spokes and a black backplate, or the reverse. That might tone down the red somewhat.

Beautiful build overall, though! -Mike

[YoungGunz]

I vote for the red, its a clean look

[dabears]

I like it

[plow jockey]

Both sets of wheels look great, but the other rims look more real/scale and match the trailer.
