The making of King Hauler... Zax13's King Hauler

This is the very first scale RC truck that came out for Tamiya 1/14 line of scale trucks. Never tried to built one so decided to have a go from scratch...


As usual, the lay out for Tamiya packaging outside and inside is undoubtly neat and stunning...




Start off with building the servo saver for the steering and the gear change servos.


Assembling the ladder frame... Most of the screws that are used to assemble everything together are phillip head self tapping screws. So it is actually quite stressing on the hand. Like me I use a motorized screw driver but be very careful as it could strip if over torque.



The steering and the gear change servo installed...


Installing the leaf springs...


The rear axle differentials...


Assembling the 6 shocks...



Putting the rear axle together




Front steering & leaf spring assembly




Frame all done up...

Thanks for the detailed build photos! Love those old-school color bag labels.

Nice write up bro!

Very tempting to get a semi.   Very nice build tread. The semi truck fleet is growing.
