Re: Some Of my Big Rig Collection
This next truck is a 1/14 scale Tamiya Truck. I modified it to look like a Kenworth W900 Arodyne

Re: Some Of my Big Rig Collection
Thanks guys I really like the hobby. But it can be a very deep money pit.
The Wedico Century Class is about $2000.00 now and can be valued at $6000 when it is done. The 2 Tamiya trucks in the garage (Kenworth and the Peterbilt) with all the accessories can get up to $500.00 But just the basic Tamiya King Hauler kit is around $345 on ebay. I do some of my shopping here. http://www.gardentrucking.com/

Re: Some Of my Big Rig Collection
HaHaHa That's a good idea !!!!
I could carry a case of 24 on the flat bed LOL I could be sitting by the pool with the remote control radio and Politely ask my wife to load it up and then drive it down the walk way to my lawn chair by the pool.

Re: Some Of my Big Rig Collection
Looks great any thoughts of going brushless or twin motor?

Re: Some Of my Big Rig Collection
Thanks Andrew.. No to both.. I sold the dual motor transmission and the only advantage to brushless is it's quieter
I have a rock crawler Rooster speed controller to maintain the scale speed. Here are some picture with my graphic on it now. Believe me, we've had a lot more snow since I've taken these picture
