[eddiehkg(2)]

seems everybody go for knight hauler.. [^]

how many semi-truck do u guys own?

[eddiehkg(2)]

how do u guys like the most out of Ford Aeromax Semi Truck or King Hauler Tractor Truck?

also i like the Flatbed semi truck. [][]

Hi, king hauler and areomax are my favourites, they just look better than the others, problem is they are exspensive, my own personal opinion is if you want the flatbed trailer use the aeromax, looks better & the king hauler looks better with the box trailer, not too keen on the pole trailer or tanker, at the end of the day its about what you like and what you want

from the FH12 and the aeromax , like the fh12 more,

why.. i drove it in real life

but, looking at the "gear", like the aeromax more, those light set(s) realy look good on it.

Only have a flatbad, not intrested in pole.

Next on the trailer list, the box trailer. But, that for a project,

goint to make a real - working cooling trailer, to keep the drinks cool on a running day..

Want to convert it into a "european" trailer, still haven't figured out how to convert cheap into a 3 axel trailer.

Btw, just put a chroom fender set on my flatbed trailer, it's a real " + " for it, would recomend it to anyone. Cost a arm & leg, but really fills up the trailer.

this is getting long... thats what u get when starting about those 1:14 's !

(warning for next time, lol)

Bye, Stefan

u guys have the pics of that great truck?

my friend send me a pic where he downloaded from somewhere on the web. somebody put in a die-cast model car(not sure) in a box trailer.

that looks cool..

Nice job. i love her. how long did you take for finish that AeroMax?

Hi Eddie,

Thanks for the compliments[]

She took me around 3 months of spare time building,after work and weekends.

She is primered in white , then 3 coats of TAMIYA PS Metallic Red, all out of spray cans...... no airbrush[8D]

To finish her I waxed her with auto polish.

If you get one, take your time in the build, and she will repay you with much pleasure[]

What you see is what you get in the kit, (except she has all the hop ups added, lights, sound, bearings etc...)

She is a fabulous machine, excellent tamiya engineering[]

Thanks, Chris.

i can't click on my username to post my cars to showroom.

can u help me please?

[eddiehkg(2)]

what battery do u guys use?

i have pics of the battery that my fd send me. but i don't know how to post it here.

[Maxed Out]

hi Eddie,

All the tamiya trucks are designed to run on normal 7.2 v stick packs, but with the trucks, if you fit addons, such as lights, sound etc, they all run off the same battery ![]

So it's best to use the biggest capacity u can get, I use a 7.2v 3000mah and get good run times[8D]

Also depends on how fast you wanna drive em !

I get over 10 min from a 2400mah, may have to try a 3300mah though.....
