[RMarine]

That's looking awesome! Love the green on it. Good job :D

[thebat]

thanks
now i need to get a trailer for it so unsure of what would look the best behind it

[Lmackattack]

Really like the wheelbase. Stretched out but still not obnoxiously long. Keep the pics coming...

[cabs]

thanks
now i need to get a trailer for it so unsure of what would look the best behind it

I'd say fuel tanker or maybe a step deck

[tc1cat]

Check out the stacks from Snochaser in the vendors section. He should have something you like!! Stretched frame looks about right for a King Hauler. Just wish that Tamiya would offer it that way to begin with. Tanker would look good behind your tractor.

[thebat]

cabs got any idea where to get a stepdeck thats not gonna cost me and arm and a leg

tc1cat
yeah i agree tamiya shold have done this length for the king hauler to begin with the stock wheelbase is waaaayy too short atleast in my opinion

i ordered a set of bull pipes form pmd last night for it we will see how they look on her when they get here
thanks for looking guys
z-flowe.

[thebat]

mow has pmd bull pipes on it they look soooooo much better than stock and visors off at the polisher as soon as it gets back ill take more pics and post with the bull pipes.

Ian, can you tell me more about this Carl Taylor ? I could use something like that to power my rc4wd lowboy ramps.

Ian

[dabears]

Yep that would be the guy. stumbled upon those pictures months ago figured if not me someone can use the idea

[thebat]

thats a cool sight mario i thought the rc4wd trailers came with powered ramps already installed on them thanks for the help guys and thanks for looking at the pics z flowe.

Hello mate nice looking truck! Just wondering what did you do for a longer drive shaft to match your 4" stretch? Was it easy? I am buying a king hauler now and want to stretch it also!

[Diesel Demond]
