I finally broke down and bought an expensive/fancy solder station with all kinds of attachments with gator clips. It is a must for how much wiring/soldering is involved with the lights on these trucks/trailers !

[@clodbusted1776]

I've been wanting to buy a good solder station for a while. I've always had the big bulky soldering guns

[@RCBirds]

Wow, what an great video. I really like your informations more than seeing the parts later on.

[@clodbusted1776]

Thanks

[@RC4X4]

It's a sweet build. I'm finishing one right now. The 1080 HW esc is sweet in these trucks. I just finished a Black Edition King Hauler too.

[@breeze0413]

awesome

[@pinfarmer]

been looking forward to this one!

[@jdpasltrains]

Awesome , looking forward to see it completed.

[@ShenRC]

Cool! the rears are connected with a shaft so all the rear wheels are powered, Make sure to use antiwear grease in all the diffs and get a 80T crawler motor it's way to fast with a stock motor. Have fun!

[@clodbusted1776]

Awesome. Thanks for the tips I know your grand hauler came out great

[@bazil7330]

Fun stuff, best thing for these is a 55 or 45t motor, with the 27t there just to figgity like, i used a 45t in the one i used to ride on, its a huge build and very well built,

[@clodbusted1776]

Thanks for the tip I'll get a 45t motor

[@kingfisher6802]

Cool project man!

[@clodbusted1776]

Thanks. It'll be a fun build

Hey clod
This is one cool truck I had know idea they made semi's
This will be interesting

[@clodbusted1776]

It's definitely gonna be cool

[@bazil7330]

also if you want to pull big loads there is a simple trick how to Not permanently lock the differentials, simply placing the spider gears in the diff cases in a different way, there is YT vides on it, if intrested,

[@clodbusted1776]

Cool I'll check that out

[@assymcgee2835]

these are cool trucks but why tf didnt they make them in 1/10 or 1/12 scale? A big rig hauling a clod would be awesome, but I could settle for hauling a lunchie or midnight pumpkin. with the rig in 1/14, everything looks too big.

[@clodbusted1776]

It would be cool if they made a 1/10 scale

[@bazil7330]

im sure its because it would be so big, expensive to make there for might cost 1000 or more just for the kit, also you can blame it on the Germans and UK they were doing the 1/14 construction way before Tamiya i think, but yea it would be awesome to have 1/10 kits, iv custom built some,

[@breeze0413]

awesome
