Thank you Bob so much for all of your informing videos. I am looking forward to building this kit. I am the blind gentleman that has so far built the Grandhauler, the Knight Hauler and the Ford Aerow Max. This kit sounds like this would be a challenge for me.
It's great to see one of these beast being built. Of all the RC related channels I've subscribed to, your is the ONLY one that's building this new rig!
Hell It's impressive and Bob your videos are very informative. Can't afford one of these in South Africa but I am watching for interest's sake! Keep up the good work!
GREAT BUILD!! I appreciate the way you only touch on the important parts of each step! Some people may enjoy watching someone screw in 1000 screws to form a single part, but I find that incredibly boring. Keep up the great work!!
Yea I was also wondering why it was so expensive, especially compared ro the other semi trucks. And arpund 7 times the price of my only recent Tamiya kit, the Buggyra Semi race truck that was far more plastic than I was used to with my normal TLR, Tekno, Kyosho etc kits I run, but it was well under 200.00 including the cheap esc/motor so you cant expect much haha. This kit looks far better and far more beefy. I think Ill have to add it along with the Knight Hauler...
Thank you for another awesome video. Can you see if it would be easy to make this american, my idea is to delete the rear steer axle and use a grand cab.
A great job Bob, as always, looks like an ideal candidate for some Hydraulic rams, the horizontal underlift extension, the boom lift and the crane slide out.. Also are, or can the winches be powered, that is an obvious thing to need.. Hope so.. I'm a great fan of tamiya and have trucks and trailers to prove it, great engineering and details... Although the steering can always be improved. Look forward to your continuing series with great interest.. Well done

This became QUITE a project!!!! 😲 Watching this over, now with very fluid assets, makes me realize WHY this Kit costs SO much Money. There's a lot to it, very complex, possibly the Heaviest Rig Tamiya has ever made. ..... And all those NICE, Machined, Anodized Aluminum Parts! 😊 I just wish I wanted a Heavy Tow Truck.... I like the 4 Axle Dump Truck you just got in. I'd like it even more if I could "Americanize" it a bit - with a Globe Liner Cab and different Tanks. 😉
i wish it wasn't 900$ just for the truck... and 400 for the working boom electronics... and 400 for the mfu... just for the basic truck... it so neat someday i will get one... i drive heavy duty tow truck.. wish i could get a kenworth front end and this back to try and match my truck....
I've got mine, I'm a recovery driver and I'm quite disappointed that with all the detail they can't make the boom deploy by radio control, also I've watched another build and wish I hadn't rushed into it, the guy uses a Lesu kit to move the boom up and down rather than the Tamiya one, looks much better. Also is there a way of locking the spectacle lift in place, as a recovery driver would never drive with it dropped over like that
No way of locking the spectacle but there is enough material on the bearing block to drill through and add a body clip. Good suggestion I will do that.
Hi could you add more light to your videos as working with black parts tend to merge as a black blob and it's hard to see details of the construction of the kits.. I do like your videos 👍

It's great to see one of these beast being built. Of all the RC related channels I've subscribed to, your is the ONLY one that's building this new rig!
Man, it's like €2000,- kit. Plus MFC-03 and the actuator another like €700,-.
It’s huge! Quite a rig - thanks for another great video. 👍
I’ve watched you put together many projects. But, this one stands out. 😯👍🏼
Absolute beast! Great engineering from Tamiya as usual.
Usual top quality from Tamiya & attention to detail, everything fits perfectly & always looks good. 👍
Mine is on order!! Following along and getting tips!! Im having a lot of fun with my Grand Hauler now!
Great video I am at the stage that you are at . I got the actuator set as well so I will be assembling mine as you set your up .......
Hell It's impressive and Bob your videos are very informative. Can't afford one of these in South Africa but I am watching for interest's sake! Keep up the good work!
Great video keep up the amazing work

No wonder it costs so much. As usual well informed builds, keep up the good work. A fan from the U K.

For the snap rings I use a small amount of grease to hold them in place so they don't go flying and get lost.
Looking good Bob. Really want to buy one now.

That truck is huge. But it looks tough to build bug just makes ig more fun to build to me.

You need the 'Dynamite E-Clip Tool'... They're all over eBay, good for 1.5mm to 5mm. No more flying clips!

I want to do a King Hauler tow truck too......
Do you still plan to do a king hauler tow truck?

@@HobbyconceptsLLC let me know if you want any pics of our real trucks
what name is on the youtube that use the lesu kit
I would love to see somebody hack this kit . Use an Americareightliner cab with 10 by 8 configuration
Hi could you add more light to your videos as working with black parts tend to merge as a black blob and it's hard to see details of the construction of the kits.. I do like your videos 👍
Yes, there are a lot of black parts (in fact all of them so far). Will see what I can do for the next videos.
Please can you tell me where you got this from please. I’m in the uk
Anyplace that has Tamiya. May not be available for a while due to demand (new product)
Tell me bro is the back axel is metal?
The axle housings are plastic

How much is this kit. How would one get it.

After checking the online price at Tower Hobbies, my wallet took a deep nose dive. Sigh.
probably not.
I'm a little disappointed that the winches are just static.
Yes, but interesting to me they put a in drive in them. Future expansion?
@@HobbyconceptsLLC I will keep an eye on that. I have been looking for a scale looking heavy winch for one of my builds...
