- In this video I will exolain how INSANE THE WIRING THIS GRAND HAULER IS.!! So many wires… SO MANY LEADS..!! Right Turn Signal… Left Turn Signal… Reverse Lights… Break Lights and 12 VOLT GROUND EFFECTS..!! And that’s in the TRAILER..!! To find out why i’m YEALLING, WATCH THE VIDEO..!!!
You got me jazzed up looking so Sweeeet!!! Slow down and enjoy your master place.. 👌💯💯
It will be a very confusing day when it's all finished. I will be both happy and sad when it's all done. That's another great thing about the flatbed. It's always changing... never really done.!! The chameleon of trailers.!! Many thanks for the great comment my friend.!!
O my all the wires!! I am sure you will be able to put the speaker up front or in the back part.
I have two ideas. I'm gonna check Bob's channel first of course. But I think up under the hood or in the back like you say. If I have to I can remove the vibration module. Almost nobody uses it. And I got to check it out so it's not at all a loss. As for the sound and ligjts..lights... mandatory.!! Thanks brother Steve.!!
Awesome upgrades my friend 🤩👏
Many many thanks my good friend.!! This is quite the project.!!
Very good job with your lights, and yes it's a nightmare to hook everything up 😄 But in the end I think we like it 😉
I am super happy with how this is turning out.!! Cant wait to show it off.!!
@@AMAZINGRC 😊👍
Yes sir this is where we start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak, Really looking good Brian. But also REALLY glad that wiring is your problem. LMAO you can have it. Nah. but seriously a little patience and some time. We know you'll have that all tucked away nicely. Looking good bud. :)
I'm a weirdo.!! I love to solve problems just like this one.! It will take me some time, but in the end it will be my masterpiece.!!
That's pretty amazing that you have it all planned in your mind and how you want everything to workout. I sure I would still be trying to figure out the wires for the Grand Hauler at this point. Glad you shared this video giving me something to think about. Want to put lights in a few of my RC vehicles.💯💯💯💯💯💥💥🤜🤛
Lights are the best.!! Really allows you to make the project your very own. You can be subtle, or you can go crazy and have a mess just like this one here. But you have the opportunity to take a vehicle that many people have and make it your kind of special. Really appreciate the great comment my friend.!!
Yes it definitely looks like a nightmare but the end results will be well worth it great job so far
Bro I'm loving this rig so much.!! This is like a 5000 piece puzzle that I actually want to do...lol.!
Now that's a RIG
There's a lot going on here for sure big Mike.!! I am really loving this rig. I have always wanted one of these ever since I was a kid. Keep you posted my brother.!
That spaghetti gives me nitemare. But it’s gonna be awesome
All I see is puzzle that has to be solved.!! You are gonna crap when you see this all done. It's gonna take me awhile, but man it's gonna be awesome.! I used to wire up big RVs. Over a mile of wiring to figure out.
@@AMAZINGRC I can’t wait. If you’re gonna do a semi I feel all the lights are a necessity for the scale detail. We live near the worlds largest truck stop. I’ve seen some awesome rigs at the trucker’s jamboree, and in their museum. If you’re ever traveling I 80 through Iowa, and ya like big trucks it’s a must see..
you’ll figure out how to tuck everything away.. oh and since ya got a driver, ya need a lot lizard knocking on the truck door 😂
I see only beauty bro! I’m so excited for you! 👌👊So Amazingly awesome Bri. 👍
Bro this fig is gonna be nuts.!!! I am so happy with it. Now for the fun part... WIRING UP THIS MESS.!! 🤣🤣🤣 Many thanks my brother.!!
Well done. Great!
Have a nice time. Be Well. Greetings!
Many many thanks my friend for the great comment.!! 😊👍
That's an awesome truck and trailer 👌 😎 😀 👍
Many many thanks.!! I am really liking thos rig.! Much more work to do, but that's the great part. 😊
That's epic mate - you've got some mad skills there. Have an awesome day! From Fun at Home (Stunts, Jumps, Flips, Corkscrews, Lego, Animations and Collectables)
This big rig makes me super happy.!! I love to solve problems just like this.!!
hey Brian, it looks late now to say? for LED's in my WPL type rigs, I used cheap or blown earbud wires have positive+negative in one very small diameter sheath. between the Y and the plug is usually joined one sheath or side by side double sheath (easier to work with) giving two pairs of wires. might be worth a re-do while its opened up? using it does cut the spaghetti factor in half.
OH MY GOD.!!! Thats an incredible idea.!! And no it's not too late.! AND I have a ton of old headphones I can spare. I will be using this idea in some of this wiring for sure. Really appreciate the great idea my friend.!!
@@AMAZINGRC you're welcome and yeah it simplifies a bunch, one little hole to get it through something, littlest spots of hot glue keeps it tucked.
also.. some 20 or 30 lb STREN monofilament fishing line works nice for fiber-optics.. heat shrink a bundle to an LED with some CA to really lock it down, drill tiny holes to glue the ends in place. once fully in place, paint outside white or silver, let dry and paint over in black (bottom of LED too)... better light conductivity and contains visible light leakage. nice for interior dashboard instruments, stereo, etc. the shorter the better for brightness of course. for other little projects... 3-4 fast slow blinking color changing LED's into fishing line can do cool things. for stupid bright headlights, 10mm LED's from flee-bahay, they pull about 3X the power of 5mm but more than twice as bright.. there's a pair in the MN-D90 and the Jeep Rubicon, video was daylight+shade but you can tell, in the dark they reach 20-25 yards ahead is nice on something fast.. but they'd be high beams from hell on that truck if they'll fit.
@@modelnutty6503 OMG, the fishing line e thing sounds SO AWESOME.!! I am so doing that one.!! I really appreciate all the great ideas my friend. My notifications must have got lost for your channel. I will head over there in a bit to see if there's anything else I can learn from you. Man... fishing line.!!! Never thought of that one.!!
@@AMAZINGRC +20 years ago a friend did professional fiber-optic signs for stores, he was specific about using the STREN brand clear stuff for it transmitting the light best, good for 2-3 foot distance. carefully heat to mushroom+bead the output end before CA'ing in place makes a little bigger brighter dot, colored sharpies for red blue green yellow panel indicators, lots of fun visual details possible from just one 5 mm LED.. lighted steps to the cab? tiny . . . . . . . . pattern at the step corners? places without room for a 2-3 mm LED can get a few strands drilled into it instead. really easy once you start playing with it. with the slow-fast-color-changing use small capacitors gets them triggering off step to each other, to look more random. the sides of a box trailer could look like a Las Vegas billboard if you wanted to go crazy.. all powered by a single 18650 cell inside? same color changing LED in series to a colored one controls the normal single colored one, so each color section can fire independently, mixed in with the strands that are color changing.. stuff I found out about the LED's wiring them into pinball machines. a color changer plus a ultra bright white makes flashing white strobe action... it'd control solid color LED's same way for more fiber-optic color+blinking possibilities.. and its simple (but tedious!)
Awesome awesome video
All those wires are a nightmare for me, hope you did not called for dinner to find out you have Spaghetti 🙂the lights are looking very pretty.
I'm a weirdo.!! This is my jam.!! Love the wiring thing.!! You will see when it's done and all cleaned up. Like a 5000 piece puzzle.!!
the wiring is a cake walk 8-)
Tamiya can make things to complicated when it doesn't need to be. Thats why I do all my own custom lighting and wiring. Plus its not a birds nest when finished lol. Nice build though.
To be honest I think I am going to go your route and redo the rear bumper lighting. Swap to a straight wire instead of the Tamiya curly wire. Saves quite a bit of room. Live doing the whole wiring thing. Make a birds best into a condo.!! Really appreciate the great comment my friend.!! 😊
LOL, we'll see.!! 🤣🤣🤣
Two suggestions, instead of one connection to the trailer, maybe it would be easier to have a few. Then you could disguise the extra two as the spiral air lines that are on 1 to 1 scale semi's? And I havent seen this speaker, but maybe you could put it vertical where the radiator would be? Just a thought. God bless brother!
Really appreciate that great suggestion.!! I think that your speaker idea is the way to go. Right behind the grille. And your wire idea is perfect. If I can get it just rigjr it will look exactly like it 1:1 big rig.! Many thanks for these amazing ideas.!! I will be using at the very least one of them... maybe both. 😊
@@AMAZINGRC happy to be of service sir
You gotta have it your.way .. gonna have a head ache fella ...way to technical for me...I'd just be happy if all the lights turned on never mind functioning ...just how amazing rc rolls 👍👊👍
It's gonna be a tank when I'm done.!! This is totally my thing. I just love to solve problems like this. When it's all done you won't even know that there was an issue at all. Many thanks for the great comment my friend.!!! 😊
holy moly, man taht is a sweet ass looking rig! liked and subbed offcoarse, cheers bud
This one is gonna be great.!! Really appreciate the great comment my friend.!!
Hi there you can yues a atought resver to have a wireless connection to the truck to the trailer just buynd the 2 resvers at the same time and you won't have to worry about connecting wires watch Bob you tube channel it works great
Many thanks for this great idea.!! I will look on Bob's channel for this video. This idea sounds like it is exactly what I need. Thanks again my friend.!!
Brian I’ve got a couple hot wheels we’d like to send you. Shoot me an email
OMG, I'm pacing the floors already.!!
