I always loved semi trucks and I'm a huge sports car racing fan. So I decided to merge both of my hobbies together on this build!!! I got one of Izzy's toy hauler trailers and this is where I'm at on it. The plan is to have the trailer wrapped and then match it to the tractor.

[Espeefan]

Wow, it's a little misleading to see pictures of these trailers by themselves. They are huge! Bigger then I thought. I'll be watching this one. Looks like a cool project.

[low&slow]

That is awesome! and I agree with Espeefan, those trailers looks big when you see everything put together. Another great addition to the race trailers on here.

[Diesel Demond]

lookin good!!

[wolfws6]

Just a small update. I almost have the design done for the rear door.The vinyl wrap should be done in a couple weeks.Then I can wire all those leds!!!! Hope this link works.Thanks for looking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=517uaETxzZg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

[Espeefan]

That's pretty nice! The door opens and closes so smoothly. Are you using a little winch to do the heavy work? RC4WD? Nice job.

[wolfws6]

Yea, It's an RC4WD winch with a pulley system I made. The plan is get the wireless remote with the winch. I don't know if you seen them, they come with a key fob, pretty sweet setup. Thanks for the positive comments!!!! More to come!

[glorydays24]

This will be one to watch for sure.;):) This will be soooooooo cooooooool.:D:D:D

[Smiley]

Looks good :D. I noticed ya had some of the lights in it already. Was just gona say that it would be easier to have it wrapped then cut out the light holes to put the lights in it :D. Not sure how you were going to do it tho.

Yea, agreed, I just put those lens in for the video. But I dont know exactly what i'm going to do yet for the rear. vinyl or chrome? Thank you, Wolfws6

[dmess62]

Nice job very smooth. Is it just the weight of the door that lets it open

[wolfws6]

Nice job very smooth. Is it just the weight of the door that lets it open

Yes, it will be the weight of the door, still trying to perfect it!!!!!!

[WhiteWolf McBride]

Wolf,

How will the car get down from the hump of the axle placement to the ramp?

I'd use a secondary ramp; it'd be hinged to the aft end of the axle hump, and just slides on the back door (or run on guides at the outer edges) When fully up, it is as high as the back door, and when down, would give you a decent slope to roll the car down on.

If you wanted a bit more 'pull' on the ramp(s) you could put a small spring on the hinge, so the spring releases when the door is opened, and is tensioned when its drawn up. Thats IF you find you need one... with the dual-ramp idea, you may not need it.

WhiteWolf

[wolfws6]

Thanks, White Wolf. there is a tray that runs the length of the trailer.I just dont have it in right now because I have to wire 200 and motorized legs

[wolfws6]

Well, I just got my body for Probuilder a couple days ago. Thanks again!!! I just mocked up the frame to see how long I want it. I think I'm going to go with an 30" frame as seen in the pic below. What do you guys and gals think? Does it need to be longer or shorter, or where it is? More to come. Thanks, Wolfws6

[Semi Crazy]

I believe in keeping it scale. So with that in mind a 300" wheelbase at 1:14 scale would be about a 21.5" wheelbase. That is measuring from the center of the front axle to the center of the first rear axle.

Speaking from experience driving a 300" WB tractor on the street is not easy. There may be longer ones out there on the but I've never seen one.

But in due return I have a 300" WB Wedico pulling a 53' trailer and it handles very well.

http://i861.photobucket.com/albums/ab176/FlyinLo/Wedico%20Trucks/IMG_1045.jpg

[Smiley]

My bull Hauler is 32 inches long. The longer the truck the harder it is to turn :D

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Longer the better to a point the drive nice as a rc and ride like a rolling cloud in the 1:1 310 is my preferred length.. By the way wheel base is measured by going from the center of front hub to the center between the drives..

wedico looks pretty good I like the Husky trailer.


Frame length looks good with the sleeper should be a good looking large car.

[Stickman]

I've always liked between 280-310" wheelbase. I also agree you measure center of front axle to between tandems. Build all my models that way.

[Dairyland Trucker]

Not to step on any toes here but after owning a trucking company for over 20yrs and driving for over 20yrs I have been inspected by many Motor Carrier Enforcement officers and they have always measured the wheel base on my tractors by measuring from the center of the front hub to the center of the hub on the first rear axle, and same holds true when we were measured going into canada because there wheelbase law is 245" and they measured it the same way.

Thats the way truck lines do it around here that is coming from a board member that runs a very large fleet of trucks and also helps another company with there LTL and trucks.

[ihbuilder]

Of all the bloody years I've been (re)building and getting modified titles . On a tandem axle truck , WB is measured from the center of the front most axle to the center of the tandems . Thats what they want on the app. and that's how it was explained to us by the local manufactures that have helped us with the paper work . Canada my be different , IDK . Bridge law goes by a different measure .

[Semi Crazy]

I drove and owned big trucks for a good part of my life and have always used center of the front axle to the center of the first rear axle in reference to the wheel base. When buying the truck, when referring to the truck to buy parts and to pay fines for over length. That's the way it has always been.

[Stickman]

I think you measure front axle to center of front drive for axle spacing, and front axle to between tandems for wheelbase. I've seen this discusion go on in many other forums before, with no end in sight. I drive a Freightliner Cascadia daycab every day, and inside the glovebox it says it has a 184 wheelbase on the data sticker. I took a tape measure to it and it measured 184" from the center of the steer axle to the empty space right between the tandems.

[Lmackattack]

I know 2 of the guys that drive those big KW's

Will be with them in long beach next week for the ALMS Race......I will let them know about your build..

Yea I have watched him Drive up thru the years. He is a good shoe...

[Lmackattack]

I think you measure front axle to center of front drive for axle spacing, and front axle to between tandems for wheelbase. I've seen this discusion go on in many other forums before, with no end in sight. I drive a Freightliner Cascadia daycab every day, and inside the glovebox it says it has a 184 wheelbase on the data sticker. I took a tape measure to it and it measured 184" from the center of the steer axle to the empty space right between the tandems.

Thats the correct way in the USA. Axel spacing and wheel base are 2 diffrent measurments. on a 3 axel tractor the Wheel base is measured from center of front axel to center of tandems. my build sheet from Mack in 1977 shows i have a 206" WB when I measured to center of tandems It indeed is 206".

front axel to first rear axel spacing has more to do with bridge weight laws.

[spudd]

we did frame stretching for years,you measure from the front axle to the center of tandems or trunnion,for measuring for box install you go back of cab to center of trunnion.

[wolfws6]

I got the wrap installed and all 220 led lenses. I ended up just designing my own design instead of coping the real thing. I hand painted all the bezels on the lenses. I also installed the chrome fender flares. Where the white is in the stripes will be chrome stripes. I still have too wire all the leds and get the roof, rear door and the tail light panel chromed. More to come, thanks for looking.

[dmess62]

great job

[BRICKNICK]

That's one **** of a nice trailer. I just showed my brother the pics and he thought the first pic was a real 1:1 trailer. The fender flares are an awesome added detail I think most people overlook. Excellent job.

[RCLogger]

Wow. Great job on the trailer. Steamer and I will have to send you photos of our vette's and size the photos down so you could photo art them in front of your trailer.
Looking forward to more updates on the build.

Greg

[Espeefan]

Holy cow, your trailer turned out nice! I have to agree, it looks like a 1:1 trailer. I like the marker lights. Where did you find the square lenses? The fenders look great, and are a nice touch!

[wolfws6]

Thank you guys. Man, I worked really hard on it and I thank for the kind comments!!!!!!

[Lmackattack]

Looking good man, are you going to put a generator box on the nose?. Now you just needs big old KW to pull that around. They have 3 of them that pull the different featherlite trailers. I actually just got home from long beach and had followed the corvette guys out of the track. That thing is low,watch those curbs! Ask me how i know.....Here is the truck I drive at work...

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f200/lmackattack/trucks/utf-8BSU1BRzAxNDkuanBn.jpg (http://s47.photobucket.com/user/lmackattack/media/trucks/utf-8BSU1BRzAxNDkuanBn.jpg.html)

Just for fun....Here is my truck pulling an champcar trailer back from road America in 2007. I laugh at this pic because my truck when new had a 36" bunk at one time and there is no way I would have been able to have pull this monster if the bunk was still on. I had to remove my pogo stick just so the gen box could swing . The pogo stick mounted directly behind the bunk, when I backed under it the pogo stick was 2" away from the nose of the gen box.....how times and length laws have changed.

[wolfws6]

Thank you Lmackattack!!! Yes on the generator box. That's what will house the batteries and switches to operate the power landing gear and the lights for easy access. The Mack truck looks sweet man!!!! More to come......

[dabears]

:jaw:NICE!! Best looking one done yet!! I agree the details you have added are perfect for it!! Cant wait to see it glow!! :cool:

[wolfws6]

Got some things done. I've add the chrome stripes and some DOT tape. Also mocked up the cab on the chassie. Well the whole is going to be SIX FEET LONG.:eek: My wife said I need to build it's own garage it's so big!!?!?!?!:rolleyes:

[wolfws6]

Well, after looking at the front fenders, they didn't look right with the lopro tires. So I decided to change them. I think this looks way better. I have a lot of work to do, to make them look correct. This is a good start.

WOW your body work is awesome!!!! Great job that trailer is my fav yet!

[Espeefan]

That's the way, wolfws6! I was going to suggest that you try and do something with the front fenders on the truck, once you posted photos, and now you've gone and taken care of that little detail. Nice job! I'm glad you decided to do it. The truck will look 1,000 times better with the new fenders! Did you make them out of some type of PVC pipe? They look great.

Thank you guys. The stock fender openings don't look right with smaller tires. So I cut them off, no turning back now:eek: The fenders are PVC. This stuff is really thick and hard too work with. I just borrowed Bigrigger's idea(pipe dream), thanks man. More to come......

[scalepaintn]

fenders are great. that was a good move it will be hard to make the truck look as GOOD! az that trailer!!!!!! nice work.

[wolfws6]

After the remodel of my ketchen:mad: I finally got some time to work on it. Well I have half of the trailer done!!!!
So I hope to get this done soon, so I can start working on the tractor. Thanks for looking!!!

Very nice truck

[wolfws6]

I finally made the generator box for the front of the trailer. I think I'm going to make some doors or somthing, it needs more detail IMO. I don't know if I like it, what do you guys think?

[Espeefan]

Wow, the trailer looks awesome all lit up! I like that. As for the generator enclosure, I think it's all right. Maybe make that ventilation opening with the screen a little larger, and like you mentioned, add a door or two. Something to break up the smooth flat surfaces of it a little, even though the real ones are quite smooth too.

[wolfws6]

Almost done, except for some minor details!!!!! NOW ON TO THE TRACTOR!!!!:D Thanks for lookin'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfnLFgKD3mk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

[wolfws6]

I finally shaped the front fenders to my liking. So here's a mock up of some parts!!!!!(Thank you Ihbuilder Steve):D I still have a ton of body work to complete.

Loving those fenders, Killer work!

[RodneyO]

I like this build.Can't wait to see more.What size car could this trailer haul?

[wolfws6]

Here is a little update. I've been working on the rear of the truck. I've mounted the rear fenders so no bolts or screws show. Built the deck plate and rear tail panel. Also installed the bezels. Oh and Rodney the trailer can fit probably a 1/12 car. Slow going but more to come. Thank you.

[wolfws6]

Thank you!!!!!! I'm still working on the front fenders. I put them off too finish up the rear fenders, mounts and rear tail panel. I'll probably finish the hood next, then revisit the fronts. I won't stop till they are perfect!!!

[wolfws6]

Well I finally decided on what I'm going to do for head lights. Since my KW is turning out to be more of a custom largecar, I cut up the front bumper and installed the head lights there!!!! The head lights are from True Scale and I still need to bare metal foil them. I almost have to rear done too. Thanks for looking and more to come.

Wayne

It sits on 30" frame rails. I want it to look kinda like a 350 WB:)

[Espeefan]

Coming along nicely! I do wonder though.....what some single round Peterbilt style headlights would look like on your KW. I've seen a few 1:1 Kenworth trucks running them, and it's different and unique. Looks kind of cool, in my opinion. Even cooler with the visors on them.

[BRICKNICK]

Wow wolf that baby is looking great. I had the same 94 W900L less of a stretch and standard headlights of course. I really need to build my truck someday. How complicated was it to build that aerodyne sleeper? And would you do it again? LOL

I took a while to reply to your post to see if those head lights grew on me. I think you may be right about the round head lights. You must have read my mind Espeefan. :D

[dabears]

Man that truck is bad a$$!!!!

[Lil Giants]

I think the ones you currently have, but recessed flush into the bumper would be a great look.

Thank you so much!!! :D

Thank you. I'm going to try to set them in the bumper more and then mybe make visors for them. We'll see how it works out.

[ears111]

Awesome rig! really blew me away. i actually was looking through this build and thought to myself that i liked how it was ooking without headlights and thought about them in the bumper. then continue on and there you have it. i think id have to agree with lilgiant tho i think it would look better recessed either way truck is amazing! keep up the great work cant wait to see it finished!

[ears111]

and another thought as i looked at it again what about leds across the bottom of the bumper and use half for each turn signal? i think would look cool myself just an idea. just thought maybe id through that out there.

[wolfws6]

Thank you for the kind comments!!!!! I'll figure it out the front bumper eventually. Right now I'm doing dreaded body work.

[wolfws6]

Small update: All the things on the cab are finally mounted! Got the clearance lights, horns, air cleaners and lights. The fenders are mounted also. I fixed the visor so it doesn't cover the doors. I don't know what style stacks i'm going to use(kinda liking these strait ones today). I can now start to finish the body work. Thank you.

Really coming along nicely and it looks the part of a real decked out KW ...I like the aerodyne sleeper and aluminum tanks,boxes...etc....one thing that sticks out to me tho is the black air cleaner intake pipe..it looks kinda small? Or will you be covering that with aluminum trim like some guys add on?


Keep the updates coming

Thank you!!!! I have to agree with you on the air cleaner tube. It's one that comes with the PMD ac's. I have no Idea if I'm going to make shields for them or make somthing different? :D

[Lmackattack]

If I recall the real kw racing kw's have the shields. Either way I really like how it looks. Will it have lots of LEDs on the tractor?

Haven't decided if on how many lights I'm going to do yet. I'm still debating on if I should put any on top of the sleeper roof! Or get rid of the horns and pack'em on there. :mad: can't decide.

The stripes definently took it to another level, can't wait to see it done!

[Espeefan]

The stripes look great, wolfws6. Are my eyes playing tricks on me? The chrome stripe on your trailer is bordered with a black pinstripe. The truck cab looks like it has a black stripe bordered with a chrome pinstripe? Nice touch with the Jake logo on the 5th wheel plate cover and back of the sleeper!

No your eyes are fine!!! I'm going to change the trailer stripes to match the tractor. Chrome stripes highlighted by black turned out to be to much for the tractor!! So I'm changing that. Thank you!!!

Sweet! The trailer looks great, and the chassis of your truck runs really smooth. Very nice, scale driving. Most guys don't drive their trucks like that.

[flatdeck]

That is a great looking unit.. I would go racing with you anytime.....

Looking sweet man. Can't wait to see her all buttoned up and pulling that race car hauler around. One of the best looking kw builds around in my opinion. Keep it up.

[wolfws6]

Thank you for your kind words gents! Just a small update! I finally figured out how do three functions with one led (brake, tail lights and turn signals) off the MFC-01. I'm trying to make as 1:1 as possible. Here's a short video. http://youtu.be/I7nfA6ik93k Btw I suck at making videos please forgive me.:lol:

I always loved semi trucks and I'm a huge sports car racing fan. So I decided to merge both of my hobbies together on this build!!! I got one of Izzy's toy hauler trailers and this is where I'm at on it. The plan is to have the trailer wrapped and then match it to the tractor.

How does the shell of the trailer stay on and wire in?

[wolfws6]

How does the shell of the trailer stay on and wire in?

If your talking about the transport trailer, It's all aluminum shell that screws together. The lights and wiring are all self contained to the trailer and do not hook to the tractor.

Thank you
