Hi, the wire clips are made by a model railway company called Pritchard Patent Product Co Ltd in the UK 🇬🇧 , they are under their “PECO” name and come in packs of twenty, they are used for holding model railway wiring but of course you can use them for lot’s of other uses. Hope this helps. Love the videos helped me a lot with ideas.
I have been considering building 1 of these trucks for awhile. I think ill finally give it a go. I've watched all your videos on this build and you have done an extraordinary job. Thank you for the great content.
This is an absolutely beautiful build.
Thanks Bob. You sir are a great help with my first semi build.
Beautiful rig. Looked like my W900L 1:1. Lol 450 Cummins and 15 speed. But mine was Candy red with red underglow, red lights in the breathers, and lights behind the grille. Cherry floors, door and dash trim, 22" hollow soul shifter with custom shifter knob. Was long haul driver for 10 years. Just got strangled out of the industry, so hauling with a pickup now.
After few videos , you Sir, stole my heart .
I’m very and truly appreciated all your tips and video. Yes i did Sub to your channel and yes i order a king hauler ... i’m very happy , wife little less , but i’m so excited for it. I’m half way done. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU BOB , Sir .
Wow she is beautiful !! Always wanted to build one never have appreciate you sharing I’ll be watching for a more
Hi Bob I'm just watching your grand hauler video it's a pleasure to see someone doing truck video's everybody else seems to only do car video's I'm into the trucks in a big way myself keep up the good work...Mike
Great video watching here in Scotland 🏴

Beautiful rig! I always get excited when I see a new video pop up from you. You have an amazing talent!
Sure is going to be a pretty looking truck! Thank you.
Hey ole buddy its looking good . I am a OG CRAWLER. . Me watching you build this truck has got me wanting one to build so I have ordered it all and even a Trailer to carry my crawlers to places .. so I just wanted to tell you thank you and keep up the kick a$$ builds God bless
Great work is easy to appreciate, can't wait to see Part 3.
You have a wonderful knowledge of building these trucks. I enjoy your videos very much as it gives me a good idea of what you can accomplish.
I know you said you're waiting for parts, but could you tell them to hurry up! I'm very excited to see how you finish off that truck! Lol 👍
I was actually out of town for a month also. Back now video up soon!
@@HobbyconceptsLLC awesome! I'm excited to see it. Thank you. 👍
Wow! Beautiful truck and video!😇😎💯👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looking good. I just got mine. I'll be starting it soon.
I've got mine together last night but waiting for the MFC
Clean build i learn so much from thank you
you area MASTER sir. Love your channel. Thank you.
Does anyone know how many extra LED`s you can run on a Tamiya wire lead ? also how many extra LED`s in total could the MFC handle? thanks
Often time's I see many Rigs on the highway with a custom enclosure that surrounds the Train horns which are usually mounted behind the battery box or 7nder the sleeper for maximum effect
You are always good to watch. Got some amazing ideas.
Looking great Bob these Hauler trucks are the only rc rig's I go crazy with LED's really enjoy your builds 😎👍
That is the coolest thing I’ve seen!!!! I need me one of them!
Top notch build . Looking forward to seeing the finished truck. 👍😃
Another great episode. Looking very nice Bob 👍👍
Need recording of CAT C15/16 engine sounds.. but pretty cool looking ;)
Incredible..looks fantastic...
looks great! always quality productions from you Bob.
Great build
Very cool
I love the work you did on the truck.but I don't think much of the color.but the color is one you have yo like as you are building the truck
Fantastic rig and work as usual.
I'm thinking of using my vintage lighting kit for this build. Guess I gotta get some more LED's!! so many extra places!
Looks great. Going to be an awesome rig. 😊
Nice work
that awesome
good work 👍🤙😎
Great video, love the build!!!
Thats amazing. Just subscribed
Super
You can get the little wire clips from Model lighting solutions in the uk Bob.
Awesome work Bob!
Really looks awesome Bob. I would love to add the extra lights to my black edition, but I struggled with all the wires as it is. And I really hate to take the cab off again. Seems like no matter how careful I am every time I do some of the smaller parts that are glued on come off. Have to reglue and then it looks messy. Yours looks great though.
I'm trying to add some more lights ,my lights need resistors what size of resistors I use thank you Bob need your help.
Love. The. Video. Very. 😎. Not. Me. But. Now. Your. Videos. I. Am. In thanks
Those metal clips are sold at Daiso which is a Japanese 99 cent store
Comin along very nice m8 👍👍
Not that it matters much but those three lights in the back are red running lights on the full scale rigs. Identification lights is usually what they’re called, supposed to be on anything that’s over 80 inches in width.
Hi Bob, as a truck driver I'm really digging this build. I can't wait until it's done. Quick question, have you looked into the airbags for the drives? I saw another video where the guy used them and they really complete the rear end of the truck.
Probably have to do a video on those in the future!
Hi 👋 again further to my other message about wire clips, they are in the PECO electrics range, they are called “cable clips” part No. is PL-37. If you have a model railway shop near you they maybe able to help with supply. Bye for now….
Beautiful rig..
I'm curious, I have the same transmitter for my drones but what model receiver did you use with a ground frequency to match up to it?
Amazing🙏
Good job on your lighting, thats awesome👍👍👍!!! I love how you painted that frame turquoise color😍!!! Did i understand you correctly that ya said, "ya sell the LED lights???"
Yes, sell them at hobbyconcepts.net
@@HobbyconceptsLLC okie dokie. . . .thankya for the reply back
Cool🔥❤👍
I buy one I already put everything together and has the word can you please explain me why it’s not worth
Awesome vid bro
You do some very intricate and clean builds. Interested to see the cab paint design. Same as frame or something contrasting? Or is that a secrete? You coulda printed out a radiator on adhesive label paper and stuck in front?
Great video! Would really like to see how you installed the lights and wired the front bumper.
That is in part 1
What’s everything I need to build the same build on your website.
What are the switches you use for the bumper and underglow lights?
These: hobbyconcepts.net/products/hobbyconcepts-electronic-switch?_pos=1&_sid=de1fe52e2&_ss=r
Hello Bob I very much would like to have a template of your speaker brackets to go with my grandhaller build. I am visually impaired and it is very difficult to find your contact information.
Hey bob where did you buy that piece behind the rear bumper the piece. That covers the light cords
The decking is cut from RC4WD diamond plate.
What's a mfc 01 wish you would explain for people just enjoying the video?? 😊
ua-cam.com/video/HVKR6K_q89k/v-deo.html
That is the sound and light unit and also serves as the speed control.
Bob. Thanks again for getting back to me. I used the 6 channel.. but still can’t get that other horn to work. Air horn works fine... also. Very important ... how can I get the shifter to work with a switch rather then using the joystick? Any thoughts? Thanks again.
Shift servo need to be plugged into channel 5 (not the MFC). See this: studio.ua-cam.com/users/videoI_XY7zh7H70/edit
Also new MFC-03 video coming next week.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC
If I do that the steering is controlled by the SWA Switch. I am so confused right now
Contact me by email. My email is in the video description.
Great video. Anyway to buy parts from you and ship to Australia Bob? Thanks
Cant beat aluminum Duct Tape to chrome stuff up
I KNOW what you mean - waiting for parts!!! 😖
PLEASE Bob, where did you get that Chrome Tape?? I see that coming in handy in several places on my Rig.
She's looking GREAT!! 👍👍👏👏👏👏🍻
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
The chrome I used is Monokote trim film. Hobby Lobby also sells material just like it in their craft section.
Please how can I get one this trucks
Hey bob I was just wondering where did you buy that plastic diamond plate?
RC4WD makes it. I usually get it off eBay. It is real aluminum not plastic.
Hey Bob love your videos. I have a question the base that you have made or used above the vibratio motor that you mounted the mfc on. Where did you get that or what is it I like how that mounts. Also I need to get one of thw templates from you for the speaker relocation where do I email for that thanks
That plate comes with the Grand Hauler but not the other kits. Contact me by email and I can fix you up. My email is in the video description
I need a spread axel flatbed trailer does you or anyone have any suggestions?
Semi Joes
Go look at an actual truck . the wires and air lines are run through the frame rails and cross members
buen video aqui en venezuela no traen esos tamiya y comprarlos son demaciados caros usted no hace sorteos o rifa de esos tamiya yo quisiera uno
Hey Bob, still waiting for part 3 😀
Me too! Working on it right now.
Can you fit a bumper animal guard on it?
Hi Bob,
Nice build so far. I am waiting for the next part.
Where does the mounting plate for the coupling actuator servo come from?
Comes in the motorized landing legs kit
if I put a bed for an excavator, or a dump truck if it could about 20 kilograms
will you be selling this one or is it just for you.let me know it looks awesome
Wow. This is turning into a real rat’s nest of wiring. Said respectfully.
They always do!
Do you have to put a sound system
No, you can easily build it without sound and even add it later.
Beautiful job Bob. What is the number for the single backup light with the MFC01 kit? And what is the green and white harness for?
The MFC has color coded harnesses. Some have1 led and some 2. You can cut them off and add more led's if you wish. For more details see my "how to solder" video. ua-cam.com/video/Tln2ocwSvVY/v-deo.html
Can u tell me if that kit comes with all the wires or do u have to buy separately pls
You need to purchase the extra wires for the special lights. Contact Bob. He can set you up with everything.
I've been following this build and I've noticed by your other build videos showing the use of the MFC, There's just one thing I don't like - The automatic turn signals. is there any way you've discovered that allows for manual use of the signal lights, or is there maybe a way to adjust where in the steering axis they come on? I am loving how this tractor is looking and it's putting me closer and closer to pulling the trigger on one of these - Even though I've never built an RC from a kit before. (Long time Traxxas owner). Thanks for your hard work and any tips you've got!
Jared, it depends on your radio and if you have any pare channels on your Rx. What I did was put it onto a spare channel(ch9) and mixed the channel to work on 2 different 2 position switches. The switch on the right turns on the right indicator and the switch on the left for the left indicator. You can also put it on a 3 position switch if you like.
The turn signals only come on at the far end of the steering travel.
Do you think a 12 year old can biuld this
With supervision. It would be a great project for father and child.
Which wires are negative and positive on the MFU for adding the led's
The whites are ground.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC Thankyou very much, love your videos.
What is the gauge of wire you use for the lights?
I use 30 guage.
Awesome thanks for the help
What happened to part 3? Going on nearly a month since part 2 now.
On vacation in Arizona for a month and did not get it done before I left. Will be up the first part of April 2021
Have you shown how to use a hobbywing esc with the mfc unit? Also I'm very thankful for your videos and can't wait for mine to arrive.
Since the MFC has a speed control built in you do not need a separate one.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC That's what I'll stick with then. I'm into crawlers and like the hobbywing 1080 for it's adjusting features and was hoping it could be used. Thanks for your quick response.
Hello, the new video nr 3 where is?
Part 3 coming first part of April
How much for the truck
Do you think a 12 year old can build this.
Can you build a tamyia rotator
Can you help me put together
Do yu build to sell?
👍🇧🇷
Chill out geek of course it's yours... It's annoying watching him say my truck my mfc my this that bla bla bla... It's just annoying af...but its just my thoughts...
