Articulating KW T800 Dump

[Kaf343]

I was lucky enough to buy some of FGD's unfinished projects, I hope My completion of them is worthy of what he started.

Here is my T800 dump I'm working on, I picked up the FGD frame and dump body a few months ago. Added some 1.9 Mil Spec tires and RC4WD rims, added a KingHauler day cab, (thanks Paul). Cut the nose off and added a 3D printed T800 nose. Made some tanks and a bumper, installed Servonaut SMX and ESC.

Thats right at the top of the dump truck crowd, very unique! Cant wait to see it painted and in operation, curious to see it articulate.

[Fired up]

[SmallHaul]

Cool unique build Keith, nice work!

[Lmackattack]

Mean looking six wheeler and all wheel drive! It should climb hills pretty good. I like it...

[doodlebug]

[ryderr6]

[Supermario]

Just when I thought all the dump truck builds going on couldn't get any more amazing!:D
Definitely the coolest looking Wiggle Wagon I've ever seen :cool:

Does the cab clear the box corners in full turn position? :confused::eek:

Mario

[plow jockey]

That thing is wild. What a great idea. Cant wait to see it in action. Good job Keith.

Thanks Wayne, I'll post a video tonight.

Thanks Brian, quality and detail could be a little better, would be nice if it was a little thicker material and printed with a polished finish. Having said that after a little body work it looks pretty good.

That's awesome!!! your tanks look sweet buddy awesome job!

Thanks Aaron, appreciate the comment.

Thanks Fired up.

Cool unique build Keith, nice work!

Thanks Scott, appreciate the comment.

Mario

Thanks Mario, the box corners and stacks clear by about an 1/8" when fully articulated either way.

Thanks Fred, a video should be posted tonight.:bounce::bounce:

[Kaf343]

Here's a short video of it running.

[dabears]

works great!!! Awesome truck buddy!

[flatdeck]

That thing is a bad ***


Wayne

[hippy]

really cool idea!

how tight can it turn?

[Lil Giants]

What's the box length?

[Kaf343]

works great!!! Awesome truck buddy!

Thanks Aaron.

Wayne

Thanks Wayne.

really cool idea!

how tight can it turn?

I would say a little tighter than my other steer axle dumps, I'll check this weekend.

What's the box length?


Joe, it's a 18" box

[Espeefan]

This is a cool looking truck. The hood looks awesome. With it having an articulated center joint, is that the sole means of steering the truck now, or are you going to combine the articulated joint with a steerable front axle too, and tighten up the turning radius even more? Those rims and tires are killer looking, by the way!

Thanks for the comment, right now it's just the articulating for steering, I do have a TLT steer axle I can throw in there but the steering radius is pretty close to a stock king hauler. I love the rims as well, I have the same ones on my 1/14 8x8 Hemtt I built a few months ago.

[Kaf343]

Got the cab painted last night and threw it on. Lights and a little trim left.

[22fatcat]

Thats a cool truck nice work. what is the turning radius?

[MACK Daddy]

That's just insane Keith , definitely a one off build


Alfy

[Espeefan]

You waste no time! That turned out nice. Very unique. The look with those tires and wheels is awesome.

[Kaf343]

Thanks 22, its just about the same as a standard steering dump. The frame is a little longer with the 18" box on it so its not as tight as a shorter ten wheeler.

Alfy

Thanks Alfy.

You waste no time! That turned out nice. Very unique. The look with those tires and wheels is awesome.

LOL, yeah I think I have adhd or abcd or something, but for some reason I always need to power through and get things finished. I have the same tires and rims on my 1/14 Hemtt, I love the look.

[Kaf343]

Added a center working tongue lift, and added lights to it.

Still need to replace the axles and tires, then add the ramps.

[Kaf343]

Whoops, posted the last set of pics on the wrong thread.

[RCTech9]

That is a great looking truck! Im sure Freddy would be proud.
