I Build Giant RC Semi Truck Model Just for Fun With Foam Board (1/4.5 Scale)

I have this idea for a long time, about making a big DIY RC Semi Truck Trailer, but only now I got a chance to make it happen. I also a bit burn out of making RC model planes, so I refresh it with making other than flying model. I actually already have 2 ongoing flying projects that haven't reached their final destination yet. Lots of test flight, failed here and there but thankfully the TH-cam Silver Button arrived this month, thank you guys for all your support.
The truck is from 80s TV series : BJ and The Bear. I never forget how the opening music sounded like. I remember my mom gave me that diecast model truck for my birthday present, when I was still a little kid.
I use very simple material, simple constructions too, ignoring how the proper truck constructions should be (lol). I just want the end result, so I can't drive it around, not too much on the detailed mechanism of the model. I hope this video can entertain you, as I didn't make the build plans for it

I got an autographed picture of Greg Evigan. He was a celebrity guest at the World of Wheels in Denver CO back in the early 80's. Love that show.

[@KY-ug3bb]

I admire your creativity! I truly enjoyed watching every step of the build.
Because I'm a trucker myself, I really appreciate you paying attention to every detail of the truck!
When it's rolling, the truck suspensions look real things! Amazing 👏

Hah hah! How cool is this? The BJ McKay logo didn't ring a bell until you put the driver and the chimp inside! I used to watch that show back in the 1980's! Really nice job of replicating that cabover KW with fairly simple materials. Nice work Julius!😄👍👍

[@JuliusPerdana]

I posted work in progress photos many times on my Facebook, but almost all of them called it Optimus Prime, my conclusion was not many know BJ and The Bear, but I was wrong here. Thanks btw

[@tracynation2820]

Super. I watched B.J.and the Bear, and Movin' On. 💙 T.E.N.

[@tracynation2820]

P.S. One of the scenes on the TV show relied on BJ's truck only having one axle driven. He dropped off a trailer with a bomb inside in the middle of nowhere and got temporarily stuck, spinning the drive wheels, almost getting blown up. Until then I just assumed that all of the rear wheels were driven. 💙 T.E.N.

[@JuliusPerdana]

wow thanks for the info

[@freedomisfromtruth]

Large Scale RC is awesome and with your use of lightweight materials and making it look realistic is uncanny, great work.

As a kid, that was one show I did watch, I also watched " Moven On" , They used a Kenworth W900 A model conventional.

Julius you are the king of the road in addition to being the master of the sky. Frankly, the idea of ​​air suspension with balloons is a masterstroke. 🤯🤯The 100,000 trophy is more than well deserved. You have remained in the spirit of the hobby by always sharing your ideas and plans for free in these times where everything pays you have remained faithful.😇 A very very big thank you to you...🤩
Your son really is a dream father 🤩😍😍. Even if I think you are having as much fun as him!!!! But My son absolutely must not see this otherwise he would want one!!!!🤩😍 and I'll have to ask my boss for vacation days and I don't think he'll like it..😈😈.. Julius, you're a pusher for crime 🤣🤣
