hi

after getting no response on ( http://www.rcindia.org/cars/is-any-one-running-building-114-truck-trailors/)  this thread I have decided to build my own truck and bought my Knight Hauler kit with MFU 01 along with radio ( NO trailor at the moment as this purchase has already left a big hole in my pocket which will take some time for me to get mended  Bang Head  Bang Head Giggle Giggle Giggle)
will start my work this week end but surly will be slow progress  but will try my best  to keep posting pics of the build and keep this thread alive.
suggestions / comments welcome
hope to report back soon
regards
puneet

at last manage to start work on my truck last night
decided to do the chassis along with suspension first followed by differential and then 3 speed gear box
initially was bit unsure by looking at so many small parts required at each stage but thankfully manual detailing is great and started of quite smoothly.
attached are the few pictures of work done so far.

Why are you planning to use a 4ch aircraft radio with the truck?
Are the leaf springs plastic? They look cool. Smiley

I believe it's to use other complicated functions of the truck. Tamiya makes highly detailed models and these take the cake.

Great build Puneet. What kind of power system are you planning?

that is the recommended set up by Tamiya and 4ch is a must if you are putting MFU set up. this set up produces different truck sounds including startup revering hooter and different light option and yes suspension leafs are metallic
thanks

I would be using stock motor with  MFU which has a inbuilt ECS and would be putting in a 7.2V 2200mAh LiFe battery but yes later I am planning to put a faster motor

I doubt this model requires a faster motor. The attention to detail in this model is spectacular! Smiley
