finishing her up

He's got a tandem pete, I'll try to get a pic for you. He's also got a big dm mack. Runs all old rodgers trailers. He probably moves the biggest iron in jersey.

He probably moves the biggest iron in jersey.
Wouldn't be too sure on that one. Look into Joe super n son's or supor out of kearny or Newark Nj. He hauled sullys plane, the challenger space shuttle n a bunch of other giant giant stuff.
Back in the 1970s my dad worked for him and was one of his top drivers, he actually drove a truck with a giant steel tank that they used to pump the nuclear waste water from the three miles island incident into the tank and my dad hauled it to Tennessee for Joe super n another truck took it the rest of the way to Nevada. He got to meet president Carter there because he was envolved in the whole thing. But anyways Joe super has yellow n green or safety yellow Petes

I'm not trying to one up anyone. I said iron not transformers planes etc. That route you got Casey central jersey and trans american. Thought iron meant construction equipment

Hey cabs I know you weren't trying to one up me, I wasn't trying to do that either. I don't know anyone who heavy hauls big time in Nj other then Joe Supor n Sons n Conforti. Heavy hauling isn't my expertise in trucking, if you want to talk produce then I'm more in my realm LoL....BigFord I seen your trucks there but never got a chance to talk to you or introduce myself. But I must say the trucks looked good in person and I was wondering who had the green beast in the exclusive repair shop.

dump truck has hydraulics !!!!! waiting on the esc's to power everything
the esc for the pump will be the second esc, do I remove the red servo wire
and leave the motor esc alone?? never delt with two esc's for one truck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoGFms4SAyE
mavrick0
01-21-2015, 09:05 PM
If both are being used on the same RX then one of them needs to have the red wire pulled. I would recommend using whatever ESC has the better BEC to power the RX and servo and pull the wire on the other one.
bigford
01-21-2015, 10:19 PM
both are viper marine 15
mavrick0
01-22-2015, 08:52 AM
Then if they are the same just take a red wire out of one of them then. Doesn't really matter which one.
bigford
01-24-2015, 12:39 PM
ok so both esc are in! Now can I buy a y-harness with two Tamiya female ends
and one male end to join both esc to one battery??
mavrick0
01-24-2015, 03:05 PM
Yes you can. But depending on how much current is being pulled I would suggest ditching the Tamiya connector for a better quality.

That looks great so far :cool:
Is it going to have a drop axle like the 1:1 or are you mostly after the paint scheme?
I think she will need a set of Steves killer pete ovals for wheels. :);)
Ok. Just watched the vids. I love the actual working hyd versus the screw drive set ups. And that answers my drop axle question.... Got no more room for more gizmos right? Lol
bigford
02-09-2015, 05:26 PM
the hydro tank could be located under the pass door and the ums pump
could go somewhere else to fit a drop axle. for now the passenger tank
holds the oil and the driver tank has the pump

So it actually looks to fit the famous pretty well. I would think that since the tamiya is 1:14.5 and the seducing is 1:16 there would be a big difference but apparently not. Looks good.

Wedico dump trailer mounted to the tamiya flatbed floor pan. To make it tamiya wide.
And added 6 inches to the leanth The lift is a piggy taylor unit with motor.in The video steve gave me 5 or 6 scoops of that moist dirt.and it picked it up no prob.

Definately have the fleet growing. You could sync all receivers and run them identically, make a choreographed show!!;). We are going to need a fleet to hall all the components of the haul truck!!! Would be sweet to have the fleet hauling wheels, axle, bed, and frame in different loads. Too bad it would take most of the weekend rebuilding it on site!! Maybe link two lowboys together side by side and haul it as one very oversized load with two pull trucks. !!
