Knight Hauler box truck

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone.

I've not built a RC truck in about 10years and now that I've got rid of the Mrs and paid off all the debt she left me in, I've decided to build a new one.

My plan is a 6x4 box truck with a knight hauler body and Beier SFR1 electronics. I will also make a matching trailer. It's going to take me a while as I'm disabled and have severe joint damage, but I'm hoping to do all the work myself. Even though I currently have a cast on my hand after recently having surgery.

This is all I've got done so far, I struggled at first to drill the holes in the chassis.

Today I've started making the base for the box section on the rear. I'm making it using 2mm styrene sheet and 6mm box section. This is where all the electronics will be. Huge thank you to 4D Modelshop who laser cut the panels to size for me as my arthritis makes it hard to cut straight

I’m liking that so far. I’d love to build a camper van with detailed interior one day

That’s looking great, it looks like a factory colour. Lovely finish too.

Yeah, the chrome’s a good shout. A truck like that needs a LOT of chrome!

:lol: :lol: 

Believe it or not, i’m not a chrome guy. I would rather have satin black in place of chrome so i think that’s a good choice.
