Popular Post toyolien Posted October 7, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2019 Finished up the rather simple interior. The base was a Tamiya Hilux interior that I added a 3d printed Power Wagon dash to. I had to cut a little out for the transmission but nothing too bad. It'll do. And, it's all finished apart from the body. The color will be revealed before the weekend... hopefully. I had an idea to store the box spanner and SSD hub tool in the cooler. That's all for now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last minute idea! All done, for this weekend anyway. I had a look in my cupboard of spray paints to see what I could come up with. Decided on Black and Gun Metal. I'm really pleased with the result. Need to name this fella, but he seems pretty happy in there. I'd still like to add some lights, and maybe a servo winch, but that'll be after the UK Nationals this weekend. Thanks for following along. Trail pics to follow... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bix Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Just picked myself up a Trailking roller and not going to lie I’m thinking of shamelessly ripping off your excellent build (too a lesser standard no doubt though). Have you still got this truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyolien Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Funny you should post on here today. I did sell it a while ago, and it's the one build I've done that I miss the most. So, I'm currently looking at something else to build and keep coming back to the Trail King as a starting point. Not sure what body, but I do like the Power Wagon... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Not surprised you miss it as it’s a cracking build, very impressed with the Trailking I’ve just picked up based on first impressions. Really like the minimalist cage work on this build, I’d love to try my own cage work at some point as it opens up so many options. Your cage work always looks so tidy!

It's such a capable and well specc'd scale truck. Here's what I use for brazing: A Bernzomatic TS4000 brazing torch, and on Ebay some Johnson Matthey easi-flow flux and some 55% silver brazing rods. That's all you need. Make sure the pieces you are brazing are super clean and the joint is nice and tight. Mix the flux with a drop of water to a paste and add a tiny amount around the joint. Heat up until the flux goes clear, then add a little silver. Quench in water to cool, and that's it. Here's what i use.
