1/14 Tamiya King Hauler Dump Truck Build Part 1

If you want to convert a Tamiya King Hauler to a day cab, flatbed truck, tanker truck or dump truck this video series should help. I will be taking a King Hauler/Grand Hauler truck and converting it to an operating dump truck. The finished unit will include an operating dump bed, the Tamiya MFC sound and light system and many other extras. Follow along on this multi part build.

Still one of my favorite video series to watch as it pushed me to get into the hobby.

When cutting sheet plastic,i find it helpful to turn the x-acto knife the other way,i.e.,score with the back of the knife.This removes a small portion of the plastic,making it easier to remove.Also,I never,ever, would use a plastic ruler with said knife.It is very easy to cut some off the edge,making for a messy cut.A steel ruler isn't very expensive,and a very good tool to have in your arsenal.Just my 2 cents worth.A very interesting build i will watch with pleasure.Thanks for sharing:).

Sorry, I'm late for class again Professor!!!!! I anxiously await the following episodes!!!! I learn something new with each video......thanx for all you do!!!!

[@michaelchristianson3179]

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

It's what I do :-)

[@CustomCrawlerz]

Bob, This is great. I love the walkthrough video for the build here for this customer. Fantastic, and I can not wait to watch the other videos. I came here as this is for a gent. that is getting a product through us as well.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Thanks!

[@rudyackerman5747]

Thanks for this video, it answered a couple of questions I had. I was just looking at that grill but for KW. Also i need to lose the sleeper on a build thanks for showing how to do that.

[@CharlesSmith-cr5lc]

[@johnmiller4553]

Awesome Work 🤙🤙

[@jiml9692]

Hi Bob, Lesu sells a nice peterbilt grill and headlight set either on e-bay or semijoe.s websit. I changed my Grand hauler to pete little bit of body work but it looks great. Great video. Loved the flat bed video.

[@elsdp-4560]

THANK YOU...for sharing. Fantastic.

[@gda882002]

Great video as always

[@BlueDually4x4]

I really like the way you made the back part of the cab. I'll have to keep that in mind on future builds.

[@MrChaos2peace]

Love your projects...it motivates me to continue mine. I still suck at painting my kits tho...looking to see how this will turn out.

[@toolxtoy]

Great video~~~ i like dump trucks.^^

[@donahuewittner3022]

I'm Interested in purchasing a dump truck from u nice job so far now I'm going to watch ur trans build

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

[@rapscallion3506]

Bob must have gotten his quarterly dividend check to afford these new gadgets.

[@garymurphy5133]

Whats this another project on the go! Great stuff. Really learning a lot from these builds. it really looks good even with the sleeper removed and the better looking tyres. Just to warn you Tamiya have released a Volvo recovery truck in 1/14th looks epic,would imagine its priced similar to their tanks,thats me out

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes, the Tamiya "Heavy Haul" 8 x 8 recovery truck looks pretty darn cool. It's a ways off but when I see hard information I will probably do a video.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Just FYI. The new Tow Truck is slated for about June. MAP price is $1,061.20. It will use the MFC-03 and a new function kit 56553 that will sell for $275 and has all the tow/lift functions.

[@garethmoss6710]

cant wait to get my king hauler I am going to customise it to look just like OptimusPrime

[@sandman2495]

Fantastic Build. I have a King Hauler and New to the hobby. As you know the motor in the stock kits not so good for torque and pulling heavy loads. I see you purchased a separate motor. I know the MFCU says not to use a diff motor due to the possibility of damaging the MFCU. What would you recommend getting. manufacturer and model for a better motor for pulling power.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

You can use 45, 55 or 8- turn motors with the MFC with no issues. 45 and 55 turn motors work the best. Mt choice is this: hobbyconcepts.net/products/copy-of-80-turn-motor?_pos=1&_sid=d1ce75f61&_ss=r

[@sandman2495]

@@HobbyconceptsLLC Absolutely Perfect and no need to go searching for one. Ordering now.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Nice! Could this be done also with Ford Aeromax body? I know they share the same chassis!

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes and an Aeromax day cab is on my list!

[@timvanasen6711]

Hi Bob is possiable to use a king or grand hauler to build a commercial tow truck?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

It sure is! Hope to do one this winter.

[@jimmieburnett5273]

Hello Bob, I am J Burnett and I would love to know how and where could I purchase this dump body kit? Thank you sincerely a very big visually impaired fan of yours

[@mariogarcia-xd7ov]

How difficult is it to put together out of the box for a beginner

[@duramaxpete5200]

Hi Bob, Great vid. Will this have a hydraulic lift dump body?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

It will be a jack screw lift.

[@markclausson564]

I always see dump trucks with a much wider tire on the front. Is that something that's available?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Tamiya and others do make wider tires.

[@5thWheelCafe-3851MO]

What servos? I have a issue with the truck running fine for a few minutes then dies. Restarts the dies again. Only can figure the servos are the issue. Mfc01 is used also.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I would doubt the servos are the problem. The MFC will restart is the voltage goes low or the radio signal goes away. The voltage could go low by a or low battery or a high current drains (like a stalled motor). The radio signal cold be anything to do with the radio signal. If an older radio cold be a bad antenna or electrical interference issue. If a new radio could be a bind issue. If you have further questions email me at [e-mail] and we can troubleshoot more.

[@5thWheelCafe-3851MO]

Hobbyconcepts-LLC if I turn off the TX the mfc does not shit off. Have unplugged the shift servo and fixed the problem. Only thing is it is pointless to have a 3 speed lol

[@dougd4917]

Has anyone ever requested a grain truck with this kit?

[@josequiroz5]

You do very nice work how much would you charge me to build me a nice king hauler stretch with the smoker and everything

[@michaeld.horner6812]

What is the name and part # for the SMOKE UNIT

[@jlast450]

Where did you get the smoke unit? Can it be turned on/off from the Remote or the MFC?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Have not figured out yet if I will turn it off/on by remote yet. Heck, I have not even figured out of it will fit yet! I got it off eBay but the seller is currently out. When I figure it out and show the installation in the truck I will include a link - if the unit is any good (it sure looks it).

[@tizocrc4864]

I got mine from Kevin from Australia it works I think it works awesome in my King hauler

[@tomweber8729]

What is the lesu tire number please

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

LESU S-1213 They look great!

[@tomweber8729]

Hobbyconcepts-LLC Thank you got the quick reply . I’m Tom , looking forward to pt 2

[@thatsmyrc]

I use lesu S-1214 on every single one of my rigs and Bruder tri axles awd conversions..also use a trick to mold them too shape if nesc. If they are a smig out of alinement on wheels...The 1214 are a smig wider even then the 1213 I believe..They are stiff enough to not have to run foams as well. I can haul full loads of rock with pup trailers no problem with no compressing of tires

[@gear21clothingco.75]

Greetings again. Have you ever build a Tow Truck...

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

No but sure could. FYI Tamiya has a new 1/14 Heavy Haul Tow truck coming in about June. 4 axles, euro style - really cool.
