Awesome , I’m gonna get a tamiya king hauler for Christmas and this is really helpful to get an idea of what I’m getting stuck into. Mint video 👍

My father used to love making these types of trucks, he recently passed away and I have been left with around 4 or 5 of the 1/14 trucks either half done or not at all, as well as another 40 or so models at 1/24 & 1/25. I will attempt to finish them at some point in the future and so your videos are already proving immensely valuable, thanks for uploading your methods/process and hopefully I can do the trucks justice and have them finished and looking really impressive.. fingers crossed..

This is the most detailed video you are gonna find if your new to this hobby, I feel like if you dont get to see this and you just build one of your own you'll just end up taking it apart constantly.

I bought the Grand Hauler and have been following all your tips and guidance in building,, painting and many more. My challenge will be the painting. I have been saving your detail videos to review it later on as I complete my build.

Hello Can I ask? Can I have a king Hauler

Fantastic video and yes the sleeper cab sticker is upside down...Mike

Fantastic!! We’re going To start ours soon. Very impressive step by step!👍👍

Building this truck now. Thanks for the tips👍🏻🇨🇦

Excellent video. On the bumper nuts that one fell out, you could put a drop of glue on them to keep them from falling out. This trick saved my butt on the Globetrotter several times. Lol.

Love it Beautiful rig for sure

You need glue on the front tires especially if you have a softer rubber compound. If not glued, it WILL roll off the rim. Good Job with the bearings, it's well worth the extra $$ to use them... Nice Job Sir!

I am thinking about buying a kit from your site. I have wanted one for many years and those kits are the best I have seen. I just have to argue with myself to justify the cost but I'd buy the bundle kit. I love those trucks. and it's something you can upgrade and totally trick out. Thanks for the videos.

Beautiful truck Congratulations~

Looks like the sticker on the back of the sleeper is upside down

Man beautiful build.

thanks for the 2 videos on the truck just got one from my local shop gonna build this weekend

Love it!❤️

Keep up the great work buddy

Just awesome

That is amazing...

I would love to have one of these built there's so many parts to assemble

Loved the video both parts. I have just finished the M A N 6wheeler I know you said it was a beginner build but if you want the electric pack on it after the build it's a pain in the arse to fit. the best wat is to fit it as you build it ??

WOOHOO FROM TEXAS.

Very nice truck

I'm no beginner... But THANKS for showing a way to use these on 2.4GHz!! Buying a separate $200 *75MHz* Radio JUST to run the one Rig, is impractical. I suppose this could also work with my Futaba 3ch Radio... Channel 3 is a 3 position switch, with Expo, End Point and D/R adjustments. Someday I'm going to own one. Carmine ✈🚂🚙

I think Im going to find a ESC and electronics that will fit inside the chrome fuel tanks. Great Video btw. You're inspiring me and giving me ideas.

Cool

Nice brother

Very nice Sir, How much do they run? both built and unbuilt? Did over the road hauling for about 10 yrs.

I as well don't operate the switches. Most of mine, he wires are twisted & soldered together, then I heat shrink on top. I just eliminate the switch. I do this because I've had several that have malfunctioned & wouldn't operate. After a lot of trouble shooting, I found a faulty switch.

I watched part 1 on the candy apple red dump truck u made out of this truck ur doing now u put Pete stickers on it how much for a dump truck u do awesome atam

Great video, keep up the good work. I just subscribed. Have you thought of doing a beginner series on getting started in the hobby of building like tools and supplies needed?

NICE !!! :)

Have you thought about painting the dash area a light wood color since in the real trucks they were most likely a woodgrain. That way you can peel and stick the stickers and they will not have that while background.

@HobbyconceptsLLC

That is what I usually do but on this truck I wanted to get it done in one day which pretty much made impossible to do any painting.

Neat. But the left side, front rear double set of tires seems off as it wobbled when it rolled

How do lighting and sound systems work? DO you need to install those systems during model assembly or can you put it in after its put together?

@HobbyconceptsLLC

You can build a complete truck with out the lighting and sound. You can easily add it later with only minor disassembly.

I'm being picky but the back of the sleeper sticker looks upside down. Great video though, building a Tamiya kit is on my bucket list.

How did you keep the stacks in place? GT Power makes a inexpensive sound kit that is easier than the Tamiya MFU

I use the micro crystal clear to glue on the stacks. It holds great and you can still get them off if you ever need to. I have a couple of the different GT Power systems and hope to do a video with some of them soon. I agree they are an excellent way to go for a good value.

Does a T45 motor run slower than the one supplied with the kit? I think that the standard motor is very fast, and would like to have a slower one.

You know I have been shying away from the double sided tape lately. I find myself searching every drawer at my work station, for small L-brackets and micro servo mounts. Just to mount something as simple as that on-off switch. That darn double sided tape just bugs the hell out of me.

Where can I get this build and how much money

Hi, I am looking for some advice in a build I would like to plan of my 1999 Peterbilt 379. I have been looking on line to try to find some help. I was watching your video and noticed that the differentials are plastic was wondering do you know if any companies make metal parts to upgrade the rear suspension to air bags, metal differentials and other replacement parts. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks, Laurence Mark
