Bull It Angus 379 Build "HOT IRON"

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Starting a new build for a customer been holding off on starting the thread been waiting on parts to come in but since I got a few parts in and lots of others are to be here soon I figured I could get started..

This will be a x2 build 2 of the same truck at the same time for Bull It Angus out of Gann Valley SD there will be lots of one off custom alum parts on these two trucks.

This is the truck HOT IRON that I will be building.Trailers to follow..

Went out and took all the measurements I needed and some details and did a cad of the truck. I do these for everyone I build a custom truck for and a good reference for my self. I do these for a the custom parts too as you will see.

Looking good so far!

Axle looks great, used a lot of the parts I used but all machined now. Did you make them? I really wanted a machined axle and hoop. But did what I could.

Dwayne... These 2 were the proto types I drew up for Russ to see if they would work and they do work very well so I know the plan is to make them in both signal and dual set ups I just dont know when you would have to ask Russ..;)

[Bigrigger]

I like to call the machine the "RUSSEL3000" :D:eek::D

I got to buy me one of those! :D

[Diesel Demond]

[Diesel Demond]

that truck looks sexy allready!

[Espeefan]

Looking great Paul. I like the smaller diameter rim and tire combo on the lift axle. That's pretty cool. True to the original.

Thanks guys.. Life has been totaly crazy around here and a lack of front fenders is slowing me down but if i can get the fenders I would like to have them in paint in a week or so..

[RodneyO]

Nice.:jaw:

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Well I have been building away on the 2 trucks finally I have some progress pics to show..

I have the wrap around half fenders mounted they still need to be sanded and polished.

And I have the lift axle all finished and working.. I used a Hiteck digitail metal geared Hi Tork servo that is programmed to move at more of a scale speed as you can see it is set up to push on springs so that way the servo is not over working and the lift can go up and down under load..

[petermoblin]

Looking really good Paul, is that tag axle one of Russ's designs?

[hippy]

that's awesome! just one quick question though. don't you need a screw in the servo to keep the servo horn on?

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Looking really good Paul, is that tag axle one of Russ's designs?

Yeah it is one I drew up for Russ and he made it come to life for me..

that's awesome! just one quick question though. don't you need a screw in the servo to keep the servo horn on?

Thanks Hippy and yeah there should be one there but I was not aware I needed to have it in for mock up only once it was painted and finished I thought.

[straightpipejakebrake]

Wow, that is looking real good! That lift axle design is really awesome...

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Wow, that is looking real good! That lift axle design is really awesome...

Thanks much Straight pipe...

[Tamiya Cowboy]

So Friday I went to the decal shop that did the decals on the real truck and Travis took some measurements off the Rc Truck and scaled the full sized ones down to 1/14 so they are perfect 1/14 scale decals of the full size ones..

Now back to the shop and brea it down and get the frame painted...:update:

[TRUCKMAKER]

These turned out great Paul, very nice. It's so much more impressive to see a "scale" model of an actual 1:1. It's to bad they have to be disassembled to paint the chassis.

[tc1cat]

Those are 2 outstanding trucks :bounce::bounce: I don't think anyone would turn down a chance to own either 1 of them. Another GREAT build :eek::eek:

[Snochaser]

Amazing job Paul. Great detail.

[flatdeck]

speechless... Nice work Paul.. which one is yours.. I see a few differences in them..

A local shop that I use who also did the real truck he just scaled down the real ones to work..

Whats better than one awesome truck? 2!!! How did you go about making the 1/4 fenders?

Thanks Much.. I make them out of alum using a body hammer and dolly..

[Espeefan]

Nice work Paul. With the two of them side by side, and the camera being a bit further back, my first thought was they looked exactly like two DCP models lined up. The proper scale look is there, and the proportions are great.

[AzItalian]

awesome builds,and perfect attention to detail.

Thank you very much Nate I do my best to mix scale numbers with the proper look to make trucks look as close to a mini scale big rig..

awesome builds,and perfect attention to detail.

Thanks much AZ...

Well that is it for today back out to the shop to do some polishing and start on the MFU and rear light bar...

[petermoblin]

Looks really good Paul, you sure have an eye for detail!

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Well got a bunch more done on Hot Iron #1 today pretty much all done but the headlights, Light bars, Mud flaps, and fender rock guards and MFU..

So here we go got the Cattle Guard all together and mounted the Russ "True Scale Rc" made for the 2 trucks it will be lighted..

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g276/theonlytamiyacowboy/theonlytamiyacowboy012/001.jpg (http://s58.photobucket.com/user/theonlytamiyacowboy/media/theonlytamiyacowboy012/001.jpg.html)

Also got the mirrors mounted and the SS fill ins made and mounted.. I will be making correct mirror brackets out of bass a little later of both trucks..

Then here is a few picks of a new part Russ "True Scale RC" made up for me is the shock box cover and a remote air line box both parts are separate from each other and hollow so you can mount lights in them or your wires.

Cheers, Neil.

[dmess62]

Hey Paul what are you using for lenses on the oval lights on bumper. I've been trying to figure this out for my build

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Wow. Very nice work. Nice build!i like that front bumper. Very clean and sharp!

Thanks much Mike..

Cheers, Neil.

Thank you Neil.. The wood grain is just a scaled down version of the decals on the real truck by the decal shop..

Hey Paul what are you using for lenses on the oval lights on bumper. I've been trying to figure this out for my build

Dave... Russ milled some for me to fit the bumper when he made it that just inserts from the back and will be lit with a 7" LED strip.

[BRICKNICK]

Paul that air line mount on the back of the sleeper and frame is badass, what's the story on that?

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Hey Thanks very much Cory.. This is not mine this one is Wesley's but mine wont be any different...


Ok so been working on the Hot Iron truck doing wiring for all the lights and there are a lot.. Here is what I have worth taking a picture of..I made the under cab light panels and used led bezels from True Scale RC and the rest I had from Lynn to fill them and did the chrome panel behind the fender too all parts are made out of alum and polished out..

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g276/theonlytamiyacowboy/theonlytamiyacowboy014/005.jpg (http://s58.photobucket.com/user/theonlytamiyacowboy/media/theonlytamiyacowboy014/005.jpg.html)

Here is a pick of the sleeper panel it hanges on the sleeper floor and I will either use 1.5mm screws to screw it to the floor threw the tab or JB Weld it the cab panel is easy it is flat and is pinched between the body and the bracket the screws go threw to hold the cab on..

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g276/theonlytamiyacowboy/theonlytamiyacowboy014/010.jpg (http://s58.photobucket.com/user/theonlytamiyacowboy/media/theonlytamiyacowboy014/010.jpg.html)

More to come once the MFU is close to being done installed and I make the light panels for the Air Cleaners..

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Thanks. Very cool Paul. The elongated lenses are a nice touch!

[Kaf343]

Looking good Paul, I agree with truckmaker, it just keeps getting better. The lights are awesome, and neat job on the wiring.

[BRICKNICK]

Paul do you just wire all the marker light to a battle switch or do you just runn them all to a light controller like the mfu or servonaut?

[MACK Daddy]

As always.....A clean Build !

Nicely Done !

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Thanks much Keith..

Paul do you just wire all the marker light to a battle switch or do you just runn them all to a light controller like the mfu or servonaut?

Thanks very much Nick.. The owner wanted all the chicken lights to run off one switch truck and trailer so all of them will run off the battle switch this time. The extra cab lights will run off the mfu..

As always.....A clean Build !

Nicely Done !

Thanks much Alfy..

Looks awesome Paul, great work man!

[petermoblin]

Outstanding Paul!! You never disappoint when you put a truck together. Again, top notch build.

[flatdeck]

One of your best builds.... Paul...


Wayne

Really nice work on this one, Paul. The lights are great. This truck has more lights on it than any of your past builds, I'm guessing? I love a truck all lit up. Will there be some photos of it hooked to a grain trailer at some point? I think a cattle trailer would look great behind this one too.

[Lmackattack]

Wow...really looks like the real thing....love the detail work! I like how the pusher axel fits in perfect.....

[Bullit]

Turned out amazing. Ready for the next one? ;)

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Thanks Nate.. The real truck wears many coats Wesley has a tri-axle belly dump,tri-axle bull rack,spread step, detach lowboy, tall side hopper, spread reefer so yes we will get some picks with it with my Bull rack and belly dump but I am building a Hopper bottom to match his hopper as we speak so there will be some picks..

Hi , are the lift axles available or did you custom make it ?

I need a smaller wheel for my dump truck lift axle

Paul - you must get to Indy this year. We have more space and this truck has got to make the trip. I think this is my favorite of all your trucks.
