Hi Bob thanx for youre tips and youre enthousiast I am going too buy this kit it would be my first Tamiya truck too build I realy like youre video s they are great👍 greetings from Holland

Great rc build . I like the colour combination of the truck .

Nice work

you should do more two tone paint jobs.makes the truck look great.

Hi Bob, this is an instructive video for those new to the hobby.

Bob you do a great job on these trucks. I think Tamiya should give you a promotion cheque of some sort. Can I have a picky? The pipework on the back of the cab you mention as exhaust, is realy the air intake. Thanks Bob for showing your truck build with a great paint job.

That is a fantastic looking truck, those colours are awesome!

I agree, I love this truck, and I'm not a euro truck guy. Too bad the windows are so dark. Would really be cool with your famous dash and interior lighting. Great build Bob!

Yes they are really dark. Would be nice if you could at least see through them a bit!

Great looking truck. Love the paint job.

A great kit with a vintage look. I have the Scania R470 using the exact same parts except for body. It has clear windows for those who want to have fun with interior. Nice tips for turn angle. Another technique I used was making a 3D printed plate and mount steering and shifting servo together on the front, an have a direct link to the steering arm. You have to reverse the steering arms left and right but it does not bump into the suspension arm anymore.

Have this rig. It's honestly a gem and definitely has a tight turning radius. It's fun to run though, hardly see anyone with one. Probably due to the fact that hop up visual accessories aren't as readily available as, say, the Globeliner, Grand Hauler, or even some of the other Euro trucks. Beauty of paint job tho, Bob.

they were available, but you had to be doing the truck about 10 years ago, but yeah most of my upgraded parts like clear windows for it are no longer available on places like ebay.

Nice build and great paint job

Yes enjoyed watching it one truck l have got to get for my collection well done again

cool. I also have a truck like that, coincidentally, the same main color. Will start with a grand hauler soon

Uno dei trattori più belli di sempre

Agreed this truck is awesome I put a locker in mine too

Ti seguo sempre sei molto bravo 😎🫶🫶🫶👍🤝

You know what, Bob? Thank you for this video, a few other videos, and specifically the last video about your dedicated soldering station. My dad tried to teach me how to solder wires when I was about five. I didn't learn much but I got to visit the emergency room. Unfortunately he never tried to teach me that again, and then dementia took his skills, and now he's gone. But your videos helped me get my confidence up enough to get a proper soldering station and practice. Now I'm confident enough to solder the bigger ECU and battery wires, and the little fine lighting wires. So... Yeah. Thanks for filling in for him.

Thank you for watching! Honored to be of help.

I think it would look even sexier if you had the silver where the red is.

FH12 was my first tamiya build and everthing went ok but i had really difficulties with mfc to fit it nicely with dashboard and seats + clear windows.

Great Vid Just ordered this truck. what size motor for pulling heavier loads 55t or higher

Hi Ron, somtime you done a wireless installation on a trailer. Could you please give me the list of parts used. As I have A Scania and two trailers and I would like to fit your Ideal. Regards Mike of UK Bristol

I would like to see the lesu backhoe please 😅

I have seen these fully built and painted with Tamiya sound kit and radio in a hobby shop. Looks like they come like that rather than a kit?? £1250

does somebody know how to use support legs with the multi function unit 03? it worked without but with it it doesnt work at all

Do you have these in stock? I've never built one either.

I do. Kind of an overlooked kit but nice truck to build. hobbyconcepts.net/products/1-14-rc-volvo-fh12-globetrotter-420-tractor-truck-kit?_pos=2&_sid=357ceb79d&_ss=r

Tilt actuator for the tilt cab?

do you know what size wrench the nuts need?i am an old mechanic and i bet i have the right socket for them in my toolbox.

The nuts are 5.5mm and 7mm, but there's also a bunch of little nuts down at around 3mm as well. Also the +slot screws are JIS screws, not American Phillips heads, so they'll tend to fight and ream out if you use a Phillips driver and hamfist it. Then the 1.5, 2, and 2.5mm hex drivers. The Tamiya RC toolkit with everything you need is about 44 bucks Canuckian dollars, and who can resist buying new tools? Plus when you're dropping enough for a Tamiya truck, trailer, radio, ESC, new motor, proper paints, Beier system, buckets of LEDs and on and on, new tools is only a tiny bit of your total outlay. As always, the hardest nuts to keep under control are us, the ones turning the wrenches.

can this model use a sound unit or is there no space for it

Sound would fit fine with a bit of creativity.

Hello, I am following you. I would appreciate it if you could write me the length of the profile you measured during assembly.

Doesnt seem right, a Volvo with leaf springs on the rear.

I'd really love to see Tamiya do a faux air ride. ...or a legit one, if they could possibly pull it off
