That sounds pretty cool! I hope you'll post some videos so I can enjoy

About 4 hours

They just pop on and off pretty simple. You do have to disassemble the forks though

@@uncledingovlogsthanks bit im just having trouble getting them over the outer fork leg. Maybe just old and stiff

I agree very underrated. I also love 4runners but just to buy an old stock one costs a fortune. And double that to modify it. This truck will and has been an amazing family toy with minimal investment

Would love to see the progress. I suggest making it as light as possible. Mines fine on flat ground but up hills it's rough. Still thinking of adding a power implement

35x12.5x15

I bought the parts and never got around to building them. I have too many projects haha

I am currently building my train based on your inspiration. Painted the engine and car. Building a caboose and a flatcar. @@uncledingovlogs

Would love to see it when you're done

@@gregautry1077 Will do. what did you buy for wheels? Trying to figure out what to use.

Certainly will share. What were you using for the wheels? Haven't found anything that works yet. @@uncledingovlogs

No they don't. The 50s just use springs and grease

I'm sorry bud I have absolutely no idea

It is a roll play brand kids ride on train. I ordered mine off of amazon!

Awesome! Check out my video from last year too. That train track came out better

Thank you!

That's cool! Messege me on instagram @uncledingovlogs

I just had them do the whole thing lol. Havent had any problems

Does your layout have a lot of elevation change? If it's mostly flat I don't see why you couldn't get traction. You could try wrapping some electrical tape around the drive wheels or along the track to make more traction

The wheels have a lip on the inside, that's how it "rides the rails" same as it works on the rail tracks it comes with. Check out my new video from last year

@@uncledingovlogs I couldn't see that, but i see it on your 2nd video. Thanks. Looks like you replaced your pvc track with the amazon track. I thought your pvc track was great! Nice job again. I've built ferris wheels and skating rinks. Looking to add a similar setup.

The PVC worked okay but if it warped at all I had a lot of derails. The factory tracks work flawless so I took advantage of that got more pieces when they were available. Eventually I'd like to figure out how to 3d print pieces

@@troybower9419how did you make the Ferris wheel ? Was it a kit !

@@italianballbreaker not a kit. Although i ended up making dozens of kits and selling them once people saw my ferris wheel. I used 1" PVC. Use an octagon calculator to help you determine what size ferris wheel you want. Construct the octagon using PVC and 45 degree fittings. With octagon laying flat on ground, lay PVC at each 45 degree fitting to make your spokes. Pipe will go from the fitting towards the center hub which is built out of aluminum or plywood. The hub should have a hole thru the center for your axel, i used 1" steel pipe. Use pillow blocks to keep the ferris wheel on the axel. Use a slip ring to power lights. I can help more if you need. This is a start.

I can't remember how many track pieces I got. I think only 4 straight pieces. I haven't seen them forsale again unfortunately. 1 charge usually lasts about 4 hours

That's awesome! Hope to see your build. I lucked out and found another set of tracks at a garage sale

That's rad man I hope to inspire the next generation just like I was inspired

Thanks dude👊🏼

Yes you can. If you watch my new train video from last Christmas you will see that is what I did

@@uncledingovlogs thank you

This is an i beam truck. It has the factory dana 35 ttb beams

You'll be good then. I'm heavier and they ride nice

Sometimes. They are the same exact train but when one battery is lower than the other they do

This video contains all the info I have for what was done before I bought it. I will definitely make videos as I build it. Check out go fast explorers website and Instagram. They have sourced a ton of parts and will make your build easier
