I just want to thank you for being such a professional!!! After watching part of the very first video of yours that I’ve ever seen,I paused the video and went and subbed and hit the notification bell….I don’t do that hardly for anyone…. But after watching your “ Novice Grand Hauler build…..you gave me a ton of confidence and I’m ordering my grand hauler this weekend and I’m going to have to save for some of the killer goodies you have for it…. But I’m definitely going to be buying some!! Back to what I was saying…. Your are very clear, patient, and easy to follow along with and to be honest…. Your the first one I’ve seen that is that good!! A lot of other people are in to big of a hurry seems like and makes it very hard to understand and follow….without having to rewind and watch it several times…anyways…your awesome! And I’ll be following along kind sir🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks so much for sharing your build techniques, your projects are always impressive and inspiring! I’m definitely going to borrow your speaker mounting idea for my King Hauler. I crammed everything into the sleeper to keep a full cab interior, moving the speaker forward will make it a lot easier to tidy up the electronics.
Nice job so far it dont get any better then that ! I got your email thanks, watching part 2 makes me want 1 even more this will be a new hobby for me anxious for part 3!
Thanks! Like your PNWHE video. I am thinking about doing a semi roundup event in the fall in the Boise area. Will be talking about it on You Tube as I flesh out the ideas. Bob
That is a lot of stuff to get shoe horned into the cab. But you are giving me a lot of ideas on how to fit all the electronics in the cab of a Bruder truck I am slowly working on converting to RC. Is the vibration unit adjustable? Poor truck shakes like it is about to throw a rod.
Generally I never cut the wires unless I have to extend them. As I go along I will neaten up the wiring a lot but at the early point is is useless as so many more wires to come.
Quick question Bob, what are your thoughts on using something else other than a Tamiya MFC to save some space and use a larger capacity battery? Like Beier SFR-1? It's same like the MFC but you can change the sound to a specific engine like Peterbuilt, Kenworth etc, unlike the MFC which has one stock engine sound. And it looks much more compact also.
Jake, I am new to the hobby with 2 Tamiya trucks, Scania 620 with mfc. second is a grand hauler and I thought the mfc was expensive for what it does, so bought a beier sound/light unit. boy is that sucker complicated! its the led wiring that as me beat. never finished the build.would love to see a vid on the beier, there is none on YB in English,lots of german.
I would reccomed the SFR-1. LiPo compatability which Tamiya lacks, True realistic sounds recorded from 1:1 scale trucks and NO SHAKER! GT power does offer LiPo compatability with generic sound.
Vibration unit which is part of the MFC. Designed to shake the truck in a realistic manner. Shakes a lot right now without the dump bed which will damp it down.
I only know real dump trucks so forgive my question, the vibration device, shouldn't that be mounted to the body for real vibratory action of the dump bed? Like I said, not familiar with these units and just curious.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC Okay, I see what your saying, these are very nice trucks, it's amazing how far they've come since the old Wiedeco truck era, that is neat how you got the truck to shake, just like the real thing, thank you for answering my question on that, your videos are the best I've seen going step by step love the snowman rig from Smokey and the Bandit.
looking good Bob
Nothing like watching a artist at work, love the build and the vision you have.
Another incredible video!!!
Your commentary is second to none!!!
Thank you. This video thing just happened - I never planned it. However all the people who watch make it fun for me so onward!!
Getting close Bob! Don't forget you'll need to trim the rib off of the first small cross member ahead of the main X to clear the prop rod.
You do some clean work brother. You’ve inspired me to hide my electronics.
Hi Bob ,
You make it look so easy . It’s coming along nice ! Looking forward to pt 3 .
Thank you for sharing this with us .

That’s amazing, love the build so far, can’t wait for the next video. Thank you Bob
You are very good at what you do and is a great pleasure to watch👍
THANK YOU...for sharing. This is really a nice build.

Lookin really good sir, pleasure to watch
Great timing on this series. I'm about to begin my build of a grand dump. I'm waiting for my dump bed from @RCP57 and my bearing kit
You are going to like part 3
@@HobbyconceptsLLC got my bed today and chopped the cab.
Awesome Work🤙🤙
Can't wait for part 3!
Bob, I love your videos, you always do such good work!

@@HobbyconceptsLLC I'd gladly travel for such an event. That's a LOT closer than Blackfoot ID.! We've been there for an event last year.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC Thanks! Coming from a man that makes excellent TH-cam videos, this means a lot!
Its best to mount the vibration unit to the chassis so you don't break the plastic... But your mounting idea is great thinking outside the box!!
Just a fit issue, no room in the body without the sleeper.

Love the placement of the vibration unit. May have missed it but what turn motor?
45 turn motor.
Great build so far! Do you know of a source for Mack grills/ badges etc?
Good old eBay.
Would you consider shorting some of the wires to save more room and make things more tidier then just using zip ties?
Generally I never cut the wires unless I have to extend them. As I go along I will neaten up the wiring a lot but at the early point is is useless as so many more wires to come.
should you worry about dirt getting up into the switches or water?
How long do you think that battery will run the truck?
Estimate about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. 2200mah Lipo

@@garymurphy5133 Did it come with English instructions? Was hoping Bob can do a video with the Beier system installed on one of his truck builds.
I actually just got in a GT Power system. Am going to do an install and programming video on it in a few weeks.
I would reccomed the SFR-1. LiPo compatability which Tamiya lacks, True realistic sounds recorded from 1:1 scale trucks and NO SHAKER! GT power does offer LiPo compatability with generic sound.
I'll check it out. Anxious to try the GT Power unit.
Can I put a 86” roof on my grandhauler I’ve cut the roof already and before I buy it I want to no
Ditch the shaker unit. All it does is loosen screws!
Even after you thread lock the screws?
I have never had issues but everyone has a different idea. Actually that is what is great about this hobby!
I here a Vector or a Cozmo... I have both in my shop to keep me company..
Ha! You heard Vector in the background. He roams around the shop to keep me company!
Nice job but kind a noticed when tested the electronics the front rear tires didn't spin very good when put it in forward gear. Is this normal?
On the left side
When the wheels are up in the air the open diff's can look funny (especially on video).
One question I'm doing the same build but were did you put the vibration or were did you mount it?
The vibration motor is inside the step. I show the installation in one of the videos.
Can you give us a link to that screwdriver that doubles as a harpoon? Lol.
can I ask please why is the cab moving when you rev the engine
Vibration unit which is part of the MFC. Designed to shake the truck in a realistic manner. Shakes a lot right now without the dump bed which will damp it down.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC thank you to the answers on both of the answers
what smoke unit are you going to be using
It is a unit by AD-RC. I will say a lot more about it when I install it it a later video.
How long will that battery last?
I just used that small battery for testing, will be using a 2200mah when finished. Estimate about an hour on a charge.
What camera are you using---thanks
I use a JVC Everio HD.
I have a mfc 1 but it gets my esc hot what can I do about that n where did u get the daycab from
Watch Part 1 of the build......
Can I send u my grand hauler so u can fit the mfc in it n see why the esc gets hot for me I can't figure it out I'm willing to pay
