so with the style of the truck customer wanted, i move the crane forward, add a day cab , painted it blue with white fender thanks everybody flatbed is done, rear + front lights installed and working , fuel tank are mounted, next is the cab

a customer stopped by the other day and notice my crane for sell, so he bought it, but hes wants it finished , i installed 2x futaba servos, 3 transmission, he want stock motor 27 turn, bearinged, cab is a king hauler day cab and will hav a flatbed

wahoo all done guys!

almost dont with the crane

i made the arm today

manually , not r/c

today i worked on the knuckle and added the top hydralic lines

thanks man

out riggers are done , lines are ran , tomorrow i will get back on the boom, there is still the knuckle boom to build and the extension boom to build, long way to go

extend the back and mounted it , not sure on the bumper yet next is the out riggers

main boom is built, painted, and done . next is the swing arm

while the main boom is drying , i modded a shock where it is 190mm long, also added some hyrdalic lines and a valve box

main boom is almost done , i need to make hydralic mounts for it

main shaft is built and painted , tomorrow i will start on the boom

i took an old shock that looks like a hyrdralic tube, the tube was the right size but not the out shaft. the shaft was 3mm but i needed 6mm. ive als add to hydralic lines . the main is also made and ready for primer and paint heres a sneak peak on the truck

so the base is done and painted , but i need to find some decals

thanks everybody for watching people are asking what im putting the crane on , i really wasnt going to make the truck, but what hell, might as well. the truck wont be scratch but will be alot of modding so while the bottom half is drying from painting it, i will get started on the truck im going to do an 8x4, twin steer k/w, 26 inches , agressive tires in the back, chrome 2 holes bud rims, not sure on motor and transmission yet.

ive built the main compartment and prefitting the pivot shaft heres the back view

next peice to build is to cut pieces for the outrigger casting primed and done

next i had to make the main pivoting shaft so i know what to base the compartment arround it next i made one of the braces to attach to the compartment . added the mounting screws and primed it

the pockets have ran dry for the next step on my firetruck. so in the mean time ive been wanting to build a small crane / hiab for the back of a big rig truck. this will be in a 1/14 scale , completely scratch and close to detail as picture allow me. so if any body out there has clear close up pictures it would be to email with them , especially over sea trucks . i started at the bottom with the base frame and cross members

im still looking for more room, so if i cant go wider , i will go higher so ive added a small second floor , this will be for parts storage i think

the only thing that would be video is the lift .once im done building the control boxes i will make an video . i have a long long way to go on this
