Trans4Mation Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Lol nope , take your time there a nice build, good luck on the paint this time of year this will be the longest part of the build . I've got builds sat waiting time off to paint but only had 3 days off this year so could be a new year paint fest at this rate . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan_bench10 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Nothing much but its a start whilst i wait for bearings and servos to turn up i couldnt help myself lol Now im tempted to get the tamiya ts29 blue and a black and do it as standard but im ope to suggestions colour wise bit of help would be awesome although i do like the blue lol Paint will be coming pay day anyway so no issues theyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan_bench10 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Built the trailer hitch up earlier starting paint tonight as i cant do bugger all else due to waiting on a few bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans4Mation Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 you will need to remove one side of the rails to fit the 3 speed . So don't go to mad building. & read where it says to glue bearing in the box or use little thread lock if memory correct from last one I built. Red a blue go well on there's mixed . Look nice with rails sprayed up too an rear arches etc colour coded . Google imige the truck . Keep the pics coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan_bench10 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Havnt screwed one on due to this lol Getting the paint out now lol the arches are staying black but will have a few semi metalic stripes where the indentations are im hoping to basically do it as it can be seen on tamiya its all been thoroghly washed and is sat drying anyone know where to start building a custom trailer ? Im also hoping to order a new cab after chrimbo anyway as i like the renaults Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans4Mation Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Flat bed use b&q alloy box section etc. if you want a low loader get a bruder on eBay there easy to extend with alloy section in the centre an outer side an use plasticard in the floor area I've built few over the years . As for 5th wheel pin there's a guy that makes them there about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordan_bench10 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Hand painting is tedious Rattle cans only used on the blue Which im off to get some more tomorrow i intend on now finishing all paint even if the parts im waiting for come now all in ive put around 4hrs in tonight a few last night and an hr this morning so it will be a tedious build and will have its fair share of upgrades too Edited October 31, 2014 by jordan_bench10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans4Mation Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Watch Using tamiya spray you will find the blue looks patchy & you will use about 4 cans + I only use halfords an one or two cans an no patchy ness . You can even clear coat after a week if wanted but try to get the best finish out the paint so saves buying clear coat. Try warming the cans in water to get better flow.

Pistonhead Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 From what i've been reading, a 55t motor or slower will help alot with low speed manoeuvres, especially with a trailer hitched up. The Axial 55t is less than Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan_bench10 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Flysky money refunded and ordered a turnigy 9xr with 2x recievers and also a carson truckpuller motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
