Yup JP's right. As for the radio, any four channel will do. But if you want the Multi-Function Unit (lights, sound, vibration unit - in other words, bling bling) to work smoothly, the Futaba Attack T4VWD is highly recommended. It has slide trims and self-centering throttle stick. Get one already, these babies are for keeps.

Papa Hec: When are you running with us?

Everyone, meet derailed (Glenn Boucher).
He is the guy from Canada that will be doing the monster Knight Hauler project for me.
I say monster not because it's expensive, but because it will be a special all metal Knight.
I will post a few pictures of his projects here so you guys can see his great work.

Glad you posted here Glenn. Welcome!

Hi Glenn. Welcome to our little home here for scale RC. Maybe you can post pics of some of your work.

JPRacing: Wassup?

hi JP
this knight will be a beauty
it will have an all aluminum frame
the rear axles will also be with metal
transmission case....well why not
everything else is metal so the transmission case will be too
lol
and i'm also replacing the thin metal ends with finned stronger ones
i don't want to give away too much
but lets just say, when it's done, i will be very sorry to see it go
i'm putting my heart into this one
LOL


glenn

my trucks are really nothing to brag about
disabled and not working so i scavenge alot
this site does not let me post pics yet
i'll basically just describe
here's what i have
lol
1st one is the volvo which i gave to my better half
all stck except for alloy tamiya wheels
no sound in it(yet)
2nd, a ford aeromax...all stock,painted cherry red
3rd, got a totally wrecked aeromax
this truck was a mess
cab beyond salvage, frame was bent and twisted bad
i was given this truck for parts
i just couldn't strip it and scrap it
i found a king hauler cab cheap
cut the nose off and made into a KW K-925
guess you could say it got a nose job(plastic surgery)
lol
shortened the sleeper
made a new front bumper from 1/4 inch(6mm) thick aluminum
added the tamiya animal guard to that
roof got a tamiya spoiler,added an aluminum headache rack
in place of plastic fender guards ahead of the rear wheels, i modified a set of aluminum quarter fenders then used my own mudflaps in back
painted it red and white and made decals for watkins motor freight
while i was at it, i did a matching watkins van trailer for it
this truck was rebuilt from someone elses junk to become the prize of my trucks
i have more in progress like a globeliner which will become a KW K-100 aero,
another globe to be an international with set back front axle,
a kinghauler to become a 1957 KW needle nose and another globe liner to become a fire truck
lol

Sir derailed,

you can PM me the link of the images/pictures and I can re-post it here... it would be a lot better to "see" what you have just described above than imagine it...

thanks for offering
i sent some links
you can post all, or post some
i'll leave it in your hands
thanks again

glenn

Welcome aboard Glenn (derailed)!

Must say I really love that watkins truck! Not for sale right?

little update.

Made some fender liner. Started with a carton paper 1st and make it as template for the fender liner (black plastic folder). I tack the piece panel with mightybond fisrt then I used glue gun to reinforce adhesion.



sorry for the crappy phonecam pics

where ya see my truck?
anything is for sale for the right price
i was planning on building at least 2 more
different paint jobs tho

looks great edwin
like the inner fender look

Saw your truck on MMT Forum
This is the one I'm talking about...



All those shiny parts are aluminum, right?

the wheels,rear fenders and front bumper is aluminum
that truck started life as a ford aeromax
it got totaled and after some serious work, looks like this
lol
that front bumper, i made from scrap

Naku! Tingin ko may darating sa Cebu na malaking kahon!!
