[glorydays24]

Brian, she looook's good all lit up:D
P.S., i'm wearing my bib, lol.:p:p

Big John

[sneaky-pete]

Nice Brian....thats cooler than my Christmas tree!

[AZLIGHTNING]

a true masterpiece, what a great build

[Espeefan]

Slicker then snot on a door knob! That looks amazing. :D Nothing says scale realism like a full set of lights.

[Snowman]

Great work Brian, how will you run all those lights? Not directly off the mfu surely?
As always, showing us all how to make a proper peterbilt from the venerable king hauler.

[rockNmayhem]

Brian the chicken lights look great on the truck really makes it look agressive. It would be cool if you had them on a switched channel so you could turn them on and off.

Tyler

[Brian in PA]

Brian, that's has to have turned out even better than you have hoped! It looks like a Wizard came along and shrunk your truck.
It pretty happy so far. Thanks!
Brian I can't say anything about your truck that hasn't been said. It is top shelf and your skill is unmatched on those pete cabs. The bed is one of the best looking custome fab jobs ever. For what its worth I think it is one of my fav. Dump trucks on the board! Good job
I appreciate it!

Really Beautiful!!! is your Pete bird alum. or plated plastic? Thank you. The Pete bird is a plastic Wedico piece that I got from Claus.

Wow really another master piece for sure you kill it every time I am just amazed on how it looks and how perfect that grill is..

thanks Paul!

Thanks Guys! Nick and Tyler, I am running all of the Aux lights off of a Pico switch that is controlled by CH 8 on my radio.

[Stylin n profilin]

I vote for Brian to start making those light bars for the airbreathers and under cab lights for us too...:D:D:D:p:p:p..Just awesome Brian..Once again..mind blowing..:cool::cool:

[Espeefan]

It looks sweet as a day cab, without the dump box, but I know it's not going to stay that way for long! What a beautiful truck.

[hauler_10-4]

Looks just like the 1:1, keep the updates a rolling in.

[rockNmayhem]

WOW. Looks outstanding the way it sits right now Brian. One of the top builds around lately. As always waiting for more updates!!!

Tyler

[Claus]

WOW!!! What can I say? Other than looking at the chassis you would never know that truck started life as a King Hauler. Would love to see you build a heavy haul tractor next.

[BRICKNICK]

I vote for Brian to start making those light bars for the airbreathers and under cab lights for us too...:D:D:D:p:p:p..Just awesome Brian..Once again..mind blowing..:cool::cool:
X2... is be in for a set, this truck is spot on to the 1:1. Excellent build Brian.

[sneaky-pete]

Wow:eek:I love the stance,the color,the detail,the lights,and every part of it.
In my opinion you have allready won the build of the month without it even
being nominated!:D

[crawler07]

Will we get a video soon? And do you have plans to haul dirt in this or is it more for show?

[Brian in PA]

Will we get a video soon? And do you have plans to haul dirt in this or is it more for show?

I'll get a vid up as soon as the body is on the chassis. I have everything working except for the tailgate latch. It is fighting me:mad::mad:! I have to revamp the leverage to make it work right. I'll use it but I wont get it too dirty! LOL!

Brian

[Snowman]

Looks like the premise for a new movie, honey I shrunk the Peterbilt. Either that or someone's parked a Peterbilt on some giant's kitchen counter!
I bet this baby will only be hauling clean dirt when it's finished!

Brian

[Brian in PA]

Small update here. I build a tool box for the passenger side. The box was 2 foot square. When I scaled it down it was a perfect place for the MFU vibration unit! I also stared the finishing details on the dump body! YAH! I can see the end in sight. Thanks for looking!

[Brian in PA]

Well guys I'm winded down on this one. I got everything dialed in today, and I took a small video. the scope is still a little tight I have to help it down a bit, but it'll work in. Thanks for looking, enjoy!

[Claus]

Can't believe my eyes Brian, best I've ever seen!

[sneaky-pete]

That's cool Brian!:eek:
I'll take one of those:D

[9W Monighan]

Very nice Brian, You said the hoist doesn't go down easily. Is the bore just tight in one of the stages? Can it be honed lightly?

[rcguyfarms]

Will u sell this one like u did with ur yellow pete?

[ihbuilder]

love them coal buckets Brian :D looks great

[Stepside]

tks for sharing the video!

I was looking to see that lift axle working... !!!

... time TAKE 2 !!! :D

[Espeefan]

That's amazingly accurate. Someone said it before, but they are right. Honey I shrunk the Peterbilt! Let's hope you don't sell this one! There is a ton of work involved, and I'd hate to see it go to someone else. You are the master modeller of Peterbilts. If I could build cabs like this, I would get rid of my Wedico and go with a Tamiya! The aftermarket is getting so strong, here in the states, finally.

[Lil Giants]

Well Done Brian! That's one sexy dump trk! :cool:

It's probably just a little bit of air trapped in the cyl yet. You could try bleeding the cyl again. If that doesn't cure it, then try adding weight to the front of the box or cab protector, strips of steel with double sided tape.

[Snowman]

Wow you must be really pleased with your work. Just need them magic rims hey ;)

[SmallHaul]

Beautiful Dump Truck Brian! GREAT job!

[Brian in PA]

That's cool Brian!:eek:
I'll take one of those:D
LOL! thanks Troy!

Very nice Brian, You said the hoist doesn't go down easily. Is the bore just tight in one of the stages? Can it be honed lightly?
Thanks Steve. It seems to be getting better with use.
Will u sell this one like u did with ur yellow pete?
No scott, this one is a keeper!
love them coal buckets Brian :D looks great
Thanks Steve!

Thank Joe! It seems to be loosing up. The weight is a good idea, I did that on my trailer.

Wow you must be really pleased with your work. Just need them magic rims hey ;)
Yes Nick, I am very pleased! I cant wait for the rims, they'll be the icing on the cake!
Beautiful Dump Truck Brian! GREAT job!

Thanks Scott!

[rockNmayhem]

Brian the truck looks like it dumps great and very smooth. The only thing I noticed was that when under a load with the hyd's it seemed to dim the chicken lights on the cab. I'm not sure if it was the camera adjusting back from movement or is it really pulling that much power?

Tyler

Tyler

Thanks! Ya, your right Tyler. The esc for the pump is drawing some amps while it is dumping. Then when it reaches the top of the stick the lights almost go out. The battery was a little low for the vid. When the battery is full you don't notice it as bad.

Brian

[FreddyGearDrive]

Outstanding!Without a doubt this has to be the nicest scale looking dump I've seen yet!Brian,once again you hit the nail right on the head!
So I see that you have hydraulics & mfu both stuffed in that cab.
Does that mean the motor & trany are on the bench somewhere?;)
Just beautiful!
FGD

[MACK Daddy]

A work of Art is all there is to say


Kudos !

[hammer]

Brain,
INSANE I don't think there are enough words to describe that truck. That has to be one of the best tri axles out there. Great job keep up the good work and good luck with it.
Tony

Speechless, simply incredible. Well done and be proud!

Tim

[Snowman]

I think an elephant may have more space in a phone box than all the electronics gear in your cab!

[crawler07]

Wow!!!!!what do you use to secure the battery besides confined space?

[Stepside]

I was privileged to see Brian's latest masterpiece today! Its all about the details! The truck is incredible and the details are endless! I was excited to snap some outdoor pics to keep Brian's fans at bay (myself including!) :D

[Brian in PA]

the battery is basically held in by friction:cool: I made a little bracket for it to set on on top of the servos.

Brian

Sailboat fuel! Hahaha only just got that! Looks great, you must be proud. It's a dead ringer for the 1:1. Those rims are the icing on the cake! Can't wait to get mine, they've got a bit further to travel...
How about a family photo with the yellow daycab?

[SmallHaul]

Oh it looks so good! I would say its time for a video!!Have you thought about running some of the softer RC4WD tires? For looks their not much better that the tamiya tires,but performance wise their in an entirely different park..Great Rig man!!!

January build of the month. You get my nomination and vote!

[BullDog]

Brian that dump truck is awesome. Your fleet of trucks are amazing. I think this shows how far the hobby has come from original out of box too this...WOW

[TRUCKMAKER]

Brian, excellent build, very true to the 1:1. I've followed it from the time I came to the board and have waited inpatiently to see it at this point (Love tri-axle dumps). Is the 1:1 still around so you can get a photo of the 2 together? Can't wait to see what you do next, this one will be hard to beat.

Great job Brian! Been waiting a long time to see this baby done. Outstanding work! A+

[1985 kenworth]

are the breather lights something that you built yourself or did you buy them wow they make the truck so much more realistic:cool:

[Espeefan]

Brian, I don't think you could have gotten it any more perfect. What a beautiful model.

[td9clyde]

[Brian in PA]

Finally!!!! That's tits Brian!!!!! Spot on. That will no doubt be the build of the year for 2012! I cast the first vote. I hope to see it in person soon.

Ben
Thanks Ben!

bloody sweet Brian :eek::eek:

Thanks Steve, but its your wheels that finish it!

Holy **** that is so dead on! Hey you jot to put your DOT board with your name on it that is on the box..

Outstanding work!

Thanks Paul! I just need to figure out what I want to put on it.

Yeah that will get my vote too. An outstanding work of art, what a tribute to the original. Every detail is incredible.

Thanks you!

[Brian in PA]

What??? No tire shine...SLACKER!!:D:D:D:D...Just first class all the way...Great job Brian...WOW!!:D:D:p:p
Thank John! The next pics will have shiny tires.:D:D
Sailboat fuel! Hahaha only just got that! Looks great, you must be proud. It's a dead ringer for the 1:1. Those rims are the icing on the cake! Can't wait to get mine, they've got a bit further to travel...
How about a family photo with the yellow daycab?

Thanks Nick! I'm glad you got it:) I may just unpack the daycab for some photos.

Very very nice!!! Will it be at the Indy show? It looks spot on.

Thanks Mike. I plan on bringing it to Indy.

Very nice,do you still have the truck you based it off of? If you do you should get a pic of both of the together.

Paul

Thanks Paul! I sold the truck over 3 years ago. This was a tribute to it.

Oh it looks so good! I would say its time for a video!!Have you thought about running some of the softer RC4WD tires? For looks their not much better that the tamiya tires,but performance wise their in an entirely different park..Great Rig man!!!

Thanks! I may try the tires.

Brian, congrates for the best looking model Peterbilt. Wish there was a button to download hole tread and print out (suggestion to moderators). I´m not into this scale but if I ever will build one I would follow your description completely (maybee do a copy of my real one like you did). The shape of the cab looks so real! Details like the shovel, lightning on rear mirrors, real rubber mudflaps, under cab lightning and .......... , that´s things that makes a winner.
You got my vote!
If I understand right, the 1:1 is sold ,so what´s the new looking like?

Man I can't wait to see what this thing tastes like @ Indy.....:p
