Good morning, BOB: I'm 73 and I'm building my first King Hauler for a Good Freind of mine that is handy caped in many ways. I couldn't have built it without your site Bob. I can't thank you enough. You're the best in explaining all in detail. (Note) along with the dos and don'ts. I'm still working on the truck. Thanks, a million. Keep up the great work. Old Combat Vietnam vet form 1970 Tom
i thought everyone takes that approach? the only difference is i don't have a cupcake/tartelette/muffin tine, so i just use plastic snack pots and i have done it since my first rc car kit that i built myself (grasshopper, then a tt02 lancia, madbull then a kyosho tomahawk and soon either a king hauler, a super clod buster, a sand scorcher, or a 2022 thundershot im not decided yet)
you are the best my friend, wish I could afford one of these models, I watch all of your instructional videos, maybe one day I could afford to buy , I am retired and on a fixed income , I used to put rc planes together and fly them when I was younger . Thanks for the videos,
I agree with you 100% this is the reason why I purchased one myself!! This will be my 1st 1 and I'm so excited about it by being in a blind man it will be a challenge for me.
Just loved this, you have giving me the want to build RC's again... I'm not new to this, though all these new things I have to learn them. I use to build them back in the late 80's... and a lot has changed since. I just love to build one of these! love the video!
Very interesting and informative. I could see I'd get a little frustrated with all the tiny parts and my short stumpy fingers. I see why you were using tweezers.
I would like to give this advice to anyone that's going to be doing this if your first time into this kind of Build I'd recommend that you use a muffin pan but also put a letter to each of the bags glad about you know what parts came out of which a bag according to the instructions
Okay Bob, okay..........I get the message!!!! You know my King Hauler has been sitting in its original box for the past 10 or so years!!!! Nothing to it, but to do it, so get it done......I get it, Bob!!!! Please stop the mental torture...........I can't take much more!!!! Thanks for sharing another splendid video...........Grrrrrrrr!!!!!
Your lucky I wish I could afford one for my son and I to build! I had one it came to my house 3 weeks before hurricane Irma hit and I lost everything one day I will get one it just wasn't time. I guess my point is don't wait just do it .
I am building your Sand Scorcher as we speak. The paint will be different but the interior will be 75% what you did. No I want to build this KH. I've seen aftermarket parts for this Semi such as aluminum axles and CNC aluminum parts. Im thinking this summer will be my build.
My only worry is if those trays got knocked over then it would be a nightmare to workout what goes where.So i think i would need lids on them.But i like the idea of getting them out the packets.
Never have knocked over a muffin tin but tip over my glue bottle all the time! Even if the screws did get mixed up you can sort them out easily with the Tamiya instructions.
I've got a king hauler extended 4 Billet aluminum tanks, dual smoke stacks , needs to be restored. Such a cool RC IMO pricey 💯$$$$ Great job🙌 & vid luv Tamiya . I have the bruiser also 👍🔥🔥🔥
Hey, this is a year late but how many separate parts do I need for a king hauler. Is it even still a good choice? I know that I need an electronic speed control, but it's discontinued, is there a replacement? What Servo do you recommend? What controller should I get? What battery and charger should I get? is there a semi truck that is less work, like all the "parts" that come with it. Or something less complicated?
Hello Bob, this is a great video. I want to build my own as well, I have servo and radio from my other RC cars, would they work for this? or do I have to get tamiya specific ones? Im new to the tamiya world so not sure if they are special? Also would standard lipo batteries work too? Thank you
Warhammer do a really good tool for the plastic sprue remains without using a knife so it doesn't risk damaging the plastic. Good tip if you haven't worked on plastic before..
Hello Bob this is Jimmie Burnett. I just received my Tamiya Grandhahaller and I am trying to purchase a 55 turn motor for the truck, I do not know where to start looking for it, Could you please help me out on where to look for the motor? I also have not purchased a speed controller and do not know which one to purchase.
Hello bob I just got my first grand hauler and its my first build r/c can you direct me on where to find the controllers and light kit that would work great with this truck
I'm thinking about a Tamyia Night Hauler,how much would you charge for One built as a rolling chassis , I would complete body paint and external details and final assembly.. Thanks. Tim
Hello hobby concepts. I'm new to this rc world. I'm disabled and I would like to build a truck and build a trailer like the one on that 1/4 peterbuilt if you have seen it. But I would love to build a coe frightliner. a little bit bigger than the 1/14 scale. Any advice on this. Thank You
Meanwhile, I'm converting my Tamiya #36208 Flakpanzer Gepard Display Stand Model into a Full Option one ( basically done... Just waiting for a set of actual Gepard / Leopard 1 tracks and some ball bearings ) and converting my Tamiya #56020 Leopard 2A6 into a Leopard 2A7+ ( will be sawing off the back of the turret tomorrow and fixing the gap in the front armor due to warped 3D Prints )
Pretty much. If you use a Tamiya MFC make SURE it is only a 2 cell and use a separate low battery warning alarm like this: hobbyconcepts.net/products/lipo-battery-low-voltage-alarm-tester?_pos=1&_sid=c19543017&_ss=r
Some advice please. Would it be worth it to buy the kit and use my 1/16 W900 body kit or just buy the parts individually for the custom truck i actually want? If i had the space and budget I would buy one kit just to build out of the box and build my custom W900 separate. Unfortunately thats not much an option for me. This will be my first truck too
I would recommend getting the kit and read the instruction manual to get an idea on what accessories to buy. Alternately, you could download the whole manual from Tamiya USA for free which will give you the same info.
sir what site do you buy this tamiya trucks and contoller. I have a question sir is the controller included when you buy the truck. thank you very much sir.
My name is Joe, I would like to have one of Tamiya remote control semi trucks and trailer sbut there is one thing about that I can not afford them. The price is too high for me to buy. I have been wanting those trucks since they came out and I been watching run on youtube for sum time now but can't afford 500 to 800 dollars just for the semi truck tractor. I wish I could buy one. I would play with them.
This truck will tow any of the Tamiya trailers. The most popular are the flatbed and the box trailer but the triple axle container trailer is also nice.

Holy CRAP! Your cupcake tin method is FANTASTIC! A game changer. For sure!
Sometimes its the simple things!!!

Tweezers are my lifesaver!
Your awesome Bob love the show
This is an excellent video and extremely helpful for beginners like me… Thank you and very well done 👍
Awesome as always love your channel

Another Texan here! Bob has skills. (and a pocketbook)....
Yes you must read the instructions book all the time they are great kits can not fault them

Your comment alone made shooting this video worth it!! (and it was a bugger to get loaded).
Your lucky I wish I could afford one for my son and I to build! I had one it came to my house 3 weeks before hurricane Irma hit and I lost everything one day I will get one it just wasn't time. I guess my point is don't wait just do it .
Very nice..I love building Tamiya and TRF kits!..Subbed

can you do a video on how to stretch the frame and add a 3rd axle and an extended sleeper and also the smoke unit.love your work.keep it up thanks
WOOHOO FROM TEXAS, I GOT THE KING AND THE GLOBE. LOVE THEM BOTH.
I am going to buy the king black edition in January
You continue to inspire, Bob. Awesome!
Notice the King hauler has a shorter wheel base than the Grand hauler
Thank you for great vids
My only worry is if those trays got knocked over then it would be a nightmare to workout what goes where.So i think i would need lids on them.But i like the idea of getting them out the packets.

@@HobbyconceptsLLC oh the glue.cool idea though

Do you Sheba video on the Grand hauler?
Can you use almost any brand and number model of servos or do you suggest certain servos? Getting ready to buy my first King Hauler truck.
Yes, pretty much any servos will work. The shift servo has virtually no load. I do like metal gear servos for the steering.
How much for building one of these including Truck, lighting sound and vibration?
Hello Bob, this is a great video. I want to build my own as well, I have servo and radio from my other RC cars, would they work for this? or do I have to get tamiya specific ones? Im new to the tamiya world so not sure if they are special? Also would standard lipo batteries work too?
Thank you
Normal standard size servos work just fine. 2 cell lipo's are also fine depending on the speed control you use.
Hello, do the servos come with the kit
NO, servos do not come with the standard kit.
Warhammer do a really good tool for the plastic sprue remains without using a knife so it doesn't risk damaging the plastic. Good tip if you haven't worked on plastic before..
I use a special clipper. Usually u can find them on the finger nail person care aisle in walmart.
SUPA THANKS FOR THE VIDEO... Yea I need to subscribe. Lol. I been feeling intimidated bout this build.
Hello Bob this is Jimmie Burnett. I just received my Tamiya Grandhahaller and I am trying to purchase a 55 turn motor for the truck, I do not know where to start looking for it, Could you please help me out on where to look for the motor?

can i use a powermax 2s 7.4 volt 4200 mh 45c battery on my tamiya truck
Hello bob I just got my first grand hauler and its my first build r/c can you direct me on where to find the controllers and light kit that would work great with this truck

Hi Bob , I am going to order the King Hauler Black Edition on January 1 st 2021 , about how long will it take to reach me in San Antonio, Texas ?
j'ai construit le même mes en rouge avec parre buffle et déflecteur sur le toit
I'm thinking about a Tamyia Night Hauler,how much would you charge for One built as a rolling chassis , I would complete body paint and external details and final assembly.. Thanks. Tim
Tim, email me at jacobsenra@hotmail.com I have the Knight Haulers in stock.
Hello hobby concepts. I'm new to this rc world. I'm disabled and I would like to build a truck and build a trailer like the one on that 1/4 peterbuilt if you have seen it. But I would love to build a coe frightliner. a little bit bigger than the 1/14 scale. Any advice on this. Thank You
Don't know of anything stock in bigger scale. Both Tamiya and Wedico make 1/14.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC Thank You.
Charlie Glover I know what truck you are talking about, I believe he either had sombody or he fabricated most of it
So bob does the built truck comes with all the working operations for 600usd
It is a kit you build so price depends on the options you add.
Meanwhile, I'm converting my Tamiya #36208 Flakpanzer Gepard Display Stand Model into a Full Option one ( basically done... Just waiting for a set of actual Gepard / Leopard 1 tracks and some ball bearings ) and converting my Tamiya #56020 Leopard 2A6 into a Leopard 2A7+ ( will be sawing off the back of the turret tomorrow and fixing the gap in the front armor due to warped 3D Prints )
Hi Bob awesome videos and things u do.i have a king hauler and I really need help from u please how can I contact u for advice
My email is in the description.
better yet can i use any 7.4v 2s lipo battery on my tamiya truck
Pretty much. If you use a Tamiya MFC make SURE it is only a 2 cell and use a separate low battery warning alarm like this: hobbyconcepts.net/products/lipo-battery-low-voltage-alarm-tester?_pos=1&_sid=c19543017&_ss=r
Some advice please. Would it be worth it to buy the kit and use my 1/16 W900 body kit or just buy the parts individually for the custom truck i actually want?
If i had the space and budget I would buy one kit just to build out of the box and build my custom W900 separate. Unfortunately thats not much an option for me. This will be my first truck too
I would just purchase a truck kit. Amazing all the small parts you need that come in the kit.
Hi bud. Great vid. I’m a newbie, do the servos come with the kit? And is there anything I should get before obtaining the truck? Thank for your input.
I would recommend getting the kit and read the instruction manual to get an idea on what accessories to buy. Alternately, you could download the whole manual from Tamiya USA for free which will give you the same info.
Had a quick question Do you use needle nose pliers with the retractable spring or regular needle nose pliers?
do you use thread lock on the servos?
Yes, they internally threaded for a 3mm screw, On many servos you are screwing into nylon and then you would not use locktite.
Hi, Does the kit come with servos or do I need to buy them separate, if so which ones do I need? Derek
You need 2 standard servos.
what size servos do I need for the tamiya grand hauler
Standard size.
Rompe los empaques y después está complicando se la vida comparando piezas que lol
Do you sell completed sets?
sir is there a pre painted tamiya truck. if not how do you paint it. thank you very much.
Yes, you can get the King Hauler in a pre-painted metallic black. That is the kit I built for this video.
sir what site do you buy this tamiya trucks and contoller. I have a question sir is the controller included when you buy the truck. thank you very much sir.
No, the kit does not include the radio.
Where can I buy one of these with a control unit.i from canada
These don’t come with any of the servos or anything?
No
So I'm sure you get asked this question a lot. What is the benefit of using ball bearings over the bushings when building this?
ball bearings are alot more efficient than bushings
It's all ball bearings nowadays. - Fletch
My name is Joe, I would like to have one of Tamiya remote control semi trucks and trailer sbut there is one thing about that I can not afford them. The price is too high for me to buy.
I have been wanting those trucks since they came out and I been watching run on youtube for sum time now but can't afford 500 to 800 dollars just for the semi truck tractor. I wish I could buy one. I would play with them.
108 WOOHOO FROM TEXAS.
Do the kits not come with servo?
No
What Tamiya trailer works best with the king
This truck will tow any of the Tamiya trailers. The most popular are the flatbed and the box trailer but the triple axle container trailer is also nice.
Where can I b purchase this item.
If you are in the U.S. here: hobbyconcepts.net/
Sir plz 🙏 talk me , how this buy plz sir
Find a Tamiya dealer in your country.
How much you pay for it? Here in Canada asking price is $644 and change.
I saw one on Amazon for $420 usd
All tamiya screws are jst not Phillips!
Thank You.
What you charge for a build like that?
Hobbyconcepts-LLC ok Thanks. If I can squeeze that into my budget I will definitely contact you!
If you are interested in a price list contact me at jacobsenra@hotmail.com
I don’t think I have ever seen a model maker throw sprues (or trees as you call them) around like that.
So how does this thing stay together?
Is it glue?
Nuts and bolts
My Actros had 485 screws, nuts and washers! Probably similar with this truck.
Omg i want this so bad!!! its only $500!!!
no power tools huh
