Building an RC Big Rig
I've taken a small break from building my Blazer. I found some areas after I painted it white that need more body work and sanding and smoothing, and I'm tired of it for a bit.
I received some Christmas money and then added a little more to and bought a Tamiya Kind Hauler. Its 1\14th scale. They came out in the 90's and I've always wanted one. I don't know much about big rigs, so I have been doing some searching on the web for pics and info. ![]() ![]() Apparently from what I'm seeing and reading it closely resembles a Peterbuilt, but other then that, I know not much ![]() I can get most of the emblems from a RC truck website, and it looks like I need to work on the cab a little, but I will get into more of that later. Here a couple examples, and no, I don't know which way I'm going with this Rig, custom or stock.. Time will tell. ![]() ![]() If you have never built one of Tamiya kits, its tons of fun if you like building. The manuals are fairly simple, just check out the drawings closely. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The box of parts. ![]() ![]() Started putting the frame together ![]() ![]() Rear suspension ![]() ![]() Well, that's it so far. Any thoughts or ideas ? Thank you for taking a look. |
