| description | Erica bought me the King Hauler for christmas, I decided to build it based on a truck I saw at Oswestry Truck Fest 2011. Aqcuired a few parts from US, including a bigger visor, bumper/light mount, swan bonnet emblem and some rear light lenses. All the chrome parts have been painted satin matt black and I made the exhaust stacks using copper piping.
The truck has a full MFU, and am using a carson truck motor as it gives better torque and lower speed running. Transmitter is a Planet T5.
The trailers are standard Tamiya Flat beds but the front one has had the wood shortened and a mount in middle for the crane which is a non working resin model originally designed for model boats (it is 1/12 scale but in my opinion fits well on the trailer).
The dolly was made up using spares I had and wheels and axle I bought.
Still plenty to do but Im happy with it so far enough to post it here.
