LB, Im not sure if he used the 3 speed, however the picture of the tranny looks just like what Tamiya Experienced has posted.

This was brought up in the article, and is why he had to mod the chassis.

Was just wondering if the 3-speed is used.. not sure if that's the best way to work for drag application w/ electric motor.. I'd figure a single speed would do the job better (electric motor = constant / instant torque, unlike gas engine) And also, the 3-speed might not have been designed to take big power..

Although I have seen people run sensorless BL system w/ 3-speed.. but no idea how "stock" that 3-speed is... !

Yup, i see it in there...

[]TEX[]

Yes, I meant more of a twisting motion, ie. torque

[]TEX[]

Without the shift gates he can shift it just like a drag would...LOL, just slap it thru the gears!!

[]TEX[]

Here's some others floating around.

This ones for you LB!!

[]TEX[]

Others...

That's a lot of custom works... I think I will just build up a standard Aeromax and call it a day..

Maybe.........

[]TEX[]

Would you like me to paint the body for you?

Lunchboxer

Maybe... We will see once I build up the mechanical parts..

Wait, we are talking like I got the kit already.....

[]TEX[]

Dang, I almost had you there for a second.

LOL, Well I don't want to steal your thunder with the kit.

[]TEX[]

Oh and I agree, most of these trucks are over the top.

Lunchboxer

Maybe you can paint my Aeromax in camo to match your WW-2.. LOL!!

[]TEX[]

Oh no...

hi TamiyaExperienced looks good i have a question i have a 9c radio. i have a 3 position switch would that work for the trany for shifting. Or do you have to use the stick.

thanks

With the 4VWD radio, there is a shift gate for the throttle side. This forces the driver to return to neutral before shifting to the next gear. This allows the transmission to shift while coasting and not under power. If you are at full throttle and shift gears, you might break the prongs when it engages.

I suppose if you were careful enough and learned to shift while not under power it might work.

Tamiya strongly recommends the 4VWD.

Does that answer your question?

Very very nice this King Hauler, I want buy one but..I have no ideea how to build it (i red here but I have not the hand for building).
I am in Romania also is hard to order it because..the custom-house take from me much money but I spok with a firm perhaps can bring it for me from Tamiya Europe.

But...nobody sell it completly mounted or mounted but used (second hand) a King Hauler ?

TamiyaExperienced a question: Why did you say "I should buy 2 Futaba 4FWD radios" Why not only one ? )

[]TEX[]

You need only one 4VWD, It must be an error.

Lunchboxer

Unless you got another semi............ or a tank.......... or a F-350..........

Look your message:

"I hear ya, but I'm old school......I'm the guy that would buy two 4VWD's

< Message edited by TamiyaExperienced -- 8/11/2006 11:07:11 PM'

To this message i was reffered.

Then, how costs for example that you build King Hauler Completly ? When I buy it un then i give it you to build.

And no one sell the King Hauler completly built ?

Lunchboxer

I think you would have a lot of fun building it......... I'd definitely build it myself.. [8D]

Asuka

Yes but I have no experience or talent to buid this.
Also because that I wish that someone build it for me.

[]TEX[]

I think we were talking about getting additional radios for additional trucks, not two radois for one truck.

You only need one radio system.

I could build it, but you would be spending a lot of money for shipping and packaging. Right?

Asuka

I don`t know how much monet must i spend for this all, for example in Romania a man wanted from me 180 $ for building the truck.
You ?
But the big problem is how can I buy it ((.
