- Welcome to the building of a Tamiya Volvo FH12 Globetrotter 420 truck
In this episode I start work on the chassis and also calibrate the electrics.

After you cut the parts off of the holders you should sand down the bits that held it on so it is smooth and everything will fit properly.
WOW!! Didn't think that would happen!! 😱
You gave him some good advice and he liked it.
Yes agreed
I realised that
Continue the model farm series
One bit of advise would be to file down the sprue where you cut the part off the tree. An Exacto knife works well also for cutting the parts from the sprue tree.
Killing me
I have a 1932 Ford coup I need to put together. I have only had it for 6 years. It has more parts than an army of fire ants. Thanks for the great video.
I know you're finished with this model build now, but you'd be better with the side snips and then file down the excess tabs on the parts. This will help the parts fit together and make the finished model look better.
Can you please do another series like this one. I love it..
After you cut the parts you should sand it down to make it smoother and it will help stick together easier 😁
Great video dagger
You can get a higher turn motor for more pulling power and a lower speed, I have a scania r620 and a Mercedes actros both with 90 turn motors in and I can easily pull two reefers up a steep hill. The motor you are using is the one I use in my tamiya hornet and it is very fast. I understand the gears are different but I think a higher turn motor would be good and probably easier to drive.
Owen king 320 motocross I'm with him daggerwin better motor and ESC very nice radio though I have the same one and I've had that ESC that motor before in the past they're just so underpowered for what the capability of that machine really is I'd go with a 90 turn motor as mentioned above but that's an awesome kit I have don't two of them one for me and one for my daughter
Cool
And the technical term for the thing that holds the parts is a sprue
Also, if a part on the sprue needs painting, it will be a lot easier to paint it on the sprue rather than removing it and painting it on it's own
Already left a like and only watched a few seconds
Right now I am considering this very same model, but have limited model making ability, but I do have enthusiasm in spades.
Watching your efforts, so far is proving to be most illuminating and useful. I will watch the build to the end, and will then decide whether to commit myself.
I have heard that after market wheel bearings are recommended rather than the ones supplied - your comments would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks, and good luck with the project
daggerwin when you remove parts remember to trim the burs off
Awesome! I'm getting a Tamiya Man 6x4 26.540 soon and can't wait!
You always make my day
Hi daggerwin I build tamiya trucks for a living and the gearbox is the hardest to build but I 've done it 25 times and it will get better but I will be here to help thanks Liam
This looks so cool daggerwin now I want to build something like that. Keep up the good work!
Hi you make me so happy daggerwin thanks for being you
I've heard the term "parts tree" for the plastic parts holders but there could be a variety of names I would guess. I'm not sure if you're planning on it already but you could use a caliper to measure the screws since they are all jumbled together in those bags. I watched a video series on the kit I'm going to build, also a Tamiya kit and it will be my first time building one too, and that's what they recommended. If you wanted to you could use a magnet tray to hold the screws that you will be using to help keep everything organized and they won't get lost if they happen to roll away. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing the final product!
Like it very good
Good video dagger👍
Great build
To familiarize yourself with anything RC,I suggest you visit Rc Spark Studio and Dark Dragon wing my 2 favourite rc builders on youtube...They may help you out with guides and builds.....Glad you opted to show off you rc hobby build on youtube great work...
Just a tip, you should plug servos in the battery and reinstall the servo arms, so it'll go straight and shift properly. Keep up the good work! ;)
Come on volvo good vid dagger
Can't wait untill it's done :)
Four years too late.... But as I'm taking a break from my VERY modified Grand Hauler (as Smokey and the Bandit, Snowman's Truck!!), I just bumped into your Channel.
I've been in the Hobby since 1982.... but I promise I won't call you Rubbish! That's just mean.
MANY People have already pointed out the nubs you left from the Parts Trees. Cleaning it up improves fitment, and just looks better. 😉
KUDOS to you for taking one of these on! Not the easiest.
OK.... I'm sorry to admit, during the first unboxing video, I spent most of the time laughing.. 😂😋 Not necessarily AT you, I was a novice, and remember well.
It's just when you went through the Metal Parts Bags - and EACH time you said "This must be for the Gearbox!" Sorry, but by the fifth bag, I was LOL!
I'm about to watch your whole build series, because I'm interested, and you're tackling it with organisation and care! 👍👍 That will certainly help others who might be apprehensive but interested.
I hope you haven't tossed the whole idea of Semi Trucks by now! 😞 It's expensive but fun.
I'm soon going to release a series on IMPROVING the several Tamiya quirks, especially Suspension slop!!
I wish I was as calm and systematic as you xD if my dad tells me to go and do something I've never done before on the farm like when I did tedding for the first time I just want to go and do it without listening to the instructions which usually ends up with me making a mistake hahaa
Purfect
The thing you called a control unit is the ESC(electronic speed controller)
I feel like this series is pretty cool
Also I'm a new subscriber and I feel like Volvo's are cool
I love your videos daggerwin keep it going your are so good
Hey Dagger this is a little off-topic, but I can't figure out how to message you other than through a video comment so here goes... I am wanting to start my own channel and am wondering how you do the technical end of things... combining speech and video, time lapses, adding music etc... any pointers you could give me would be greatly appreciated. I really love the final effect you come up with, great balance of live action and time lapse, with superb quality throughout.
Love ur videos you. I can see you put lots into them
i collect warhammer that comes on sprues like them and it is better to cut them of with a pair of cutting pliers rather than twist theme of because you could damage the part you are trying to remove. also its best to file of the bits sticking out that were attached to the sprue
Nice gob I really appreciate your work l have mist an episode since the west coast and I will try to comment more keep it up dagger 😀😀😀😀🚜
I just left a like
How does he have the patience to build things like that??
swe brothers I build lego technics and they take a lot of patience
RC BLITZ I would imagine
swe brothers I also built a nitro rc car from scratch it took a hole week
KRKIT what do you build rc car or lego technic
Ha, you clearly have never ventured into the world of scale models. Kits with 500-1000 parts art not uncommon.
good video
your subscribers have rocketed down
This is my other channel
The thing that holds the parts is called a sprue.
Cool vid, and cool phone
Nice idea for a video!
Daggerwin they make a ball bearing upgrade for this kid that you should look into trust me it's much nicer in the last a lot longer than those brass bushings especially if you get into pulling some heavy trailers
Thanks, will keep that in mind for the next build
Put the screws in a small box so it will be easier to find one. Btw I really like your videos
Hey dagger the control unit is actually called a speed controller
the plastic holders are called sprews
james curr they're commonly called Parts trees within the Hobby
You should watch rc sparks for painting the truck/lorry
You should have used a modeling knife to cut of the leftover plasticbits still on the parts otherwise fitting might be problem later on in the build
Most important tip dont break anything
I use those servo in my Tamiya cc01 crawler and had the car for just over a year now and the servo do not appear to have so much torque in it. May be because the whole car has been through thick mud and even sea water lol.
Where did you get the servoies and controller and all the electronics basically
Amazing and I subscribed wene you were at 15k
Tamiya r the best kit for 1/14 scale semi truck i have 1 to but i make long 22 inch to 30 inch
Are you going to get a trailer for it?
You should watch some of djmedic rcsparks build videos for some good tips
Firstly, George. It's pronounced Tam-ee-ya.
forvo.com/word/tamiya/
Secondly, the plastic bars that you cut the parts off is called 'sprue'
Tamiya kits are very easy if you follow the instructions. I used to collect Tamiya kits, and also used to buy broken Tamiya models, do them up and sell them again. At one point I had 14 of them.
Top tip: NEVER leave the battery stick connected when you aren't using it. In older cars with mechanical speed controllers, they would short out and catch alight. Newer ones less so, but don't take the chance.
Might be a bit late now, but for future reference, buy the bearing upgrade packs for the model. It does make a huge difference. And threadlock. Buy threadlock and use it on everything.
who is George?
I believe George is Daggerwin's real name.
Clunk how did u find that out
Swager M
Google is my friend.
Hi dagger great vid what colour is the truck probaly blue or green blue for daggerwin green or daggerwin vlogs
Hi, anyone can tell me if servos come standard in the kit? I know the controllers aren't, any cheaper ones that futaba attack? Thanks !
the kit volvo fh12 haven't Carson Reflex Stick 2- 2.4Ghz 6 Channel Radio ????
If you ever need anything paint or colors match on any of you tractors or even plastic parts. I work at a paint store in the US and have a prophet machine aka camra to make any color you want. So don't be afraid to ask for advice or anything With painting
Daniel Sim do you know he lives in the UK?
Ryan Beeckman yes and most of are paint comes from Japan and Germany. We don't make a lot of paint here in the US.
It would of been nice to of built along with you, this is going to be interesting. I think your lighting could have been a little better but next time I’m sure you can improve it. Thanks for doing something different.
Do you already know wich trailer you are going to build?
may I ask a question about this truck/kit?
What size is the motor? It looks like a johnson 560
Why arent you fileling the plastic parts or do you do that ofscreen.
Thank you Daggerwin. I'll look forward to the future videos. How much was the kit and where did you get it?
Do u mind telling me where u got it
Maybe it’s because these parts are all black but I found it quite difficult to see what you were doing with the camera angle and lighting. Nice project though!
definitely paint before you assemble
Nice phone dagger what model is it
Dagger you have got the same phone case as me
Yes Daggerwin, it is very annoying when you start a series and don't finish it (ballymoon castle, upton farm, PGR Bruzda...)
With the parts what you cut out sandpaper the rough edges
Ballymoon?
roughly how much would these truck cost to buy
Anywhere from £250 to £650
