I’m NEVER Building one of these again!

This 6WD King Kong CA30 took me 8 months to finish, I'm really sorry lol. But I do appreciate all the people that have supported the build. Being a Coffee Truck it was only right to use Real Coffee as part of the build.
You can continue to support the build here: www.buymeacoff...
At the end of January I will select at random 1 person who has supported the build to be its full time carer. I will post more details on my 'Buy Me A Coffee' home page.

The decals and the sacks of coffee was a nice touch.

Thanks Ash

Thanks!

I sent enough for a cheap cup “O” Joe. Great scale build. I hope you do another model in the future. Merry Christmas

[@taliesinbourne7484]

Great choice of colour, really sets off that stunning bed!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, looks good

[@adamgriff7286]

It's builds like this that make me really grateful for RTR's. It's good to see it finally finished and it looks beautiful Phil 👊

[@thesillypig785]

Funny ain't it, builds like this is exactly why I hate RTR's. I love spending hours tinkering to get a RC working. Each their own!

[@TomleyRC]

Some people love building some just wanna plug a battery in a go. I like building when there’s no deadlines or expectations 😅

[@christianmarshall6250]

I love how it sounds. It's honestly so fitting for the looks as the sound is a bit deeper and more aggressive.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes

[@canuckchuck8836]

For such a painful build, you did an amazing job! You put a lot of thought, care and effort into this project! 👍👍

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks mate

[@modelnutty6503]

it does look a very tedious build, but looks so good too!

[@end_game]

I'm happy to see it's done. Sorry it was a pain. You're great, Merry Christmas.

[@TomleyRC]

I’m happy it’s done as well lol

Thank you… appreciate it 👌

[@dextersxxxxlab]

The car looks great colorwise. I bought myself a ca10 when corona started to have myself a nice lockdown project. I wanted it to be an old rusty farmtruck. Decided to go on faded orange with rust on multiple places. Did that by cutting some "rusted through" holes and making some dents in the door and fenders and roof. Painting everything in a rust color. make it wet, sprinkle it with seasalt. let it dry. spray with orange and let it dry. take away all grains of salt to reveal a lot of rust stains and then dirt wash amd weather it all even more. Even bought 3d printable files to print files that hides the electro motor and makes it into a real looking old rusty petrol engine complete with air intake filter and sparkplug wires and battery etc. ald weathered into an old rusty heap of broken dreams. Added a micro led light in the cabin and also under the hood to be able to see all the hard work that I did under there. routed all cables in the C channel framing and fastened them with thin metal wire. Headlights and turning lights are wired with very thin wire since the led's use ample power. glued those wires underneath the cabin and in wheel arches and all also covered them with paint. All electronics are hidden. Mostly under the seat in the cabin. and the speed controller sit's inside the gastank. On / off button is also hidden inside the seat and via a small hole I made underneath you can switch it on and off when you reach underneath the cabin with a finger. So with all doors open and the hood open you will not be able to see any cable or switch. Also the complete chassis and axle housings, inside of the cabin etc. are weathered. There are men sitting in the cabin ( walking death figures) and a dog in between. even a pack of lucky strike sigarettes on the dash. I am very pleased with the result. The only remaining thing to do is to make a more permanent load to keep in the back that will hide my battery bit also allows me to take it out more easy to charge it. The used esc is a type that can be set to a higher frequency to eliminate the irritating motor whining noise that irritates the crap out of me when driving very slowly. Back then I decided to buy this ca10 instead of the ca30 because ot was much cheaper and more ment as a shelf queen since I have dedicated crawlers that do a much better job offroading compared to this 6x6. Now I regret this choice a bit. both models went up in price a lot and I think the high bed looks better with the double rear wheels. But again. Love the colors on your ca30.

[@BigDadGigaCHAD]

For being a pain, missing bits, miss fitting parts, it sure looks fantastic. You did a great job. 👏👏👏

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude. It certainly turned out okay

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

For a coffee truck the colors are spot on. Job well done. Like button energized algorithms brewing.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. Appreciate it 👌

[@semperatis]

Looks fantastic Phil,I'm glad that you managed to stick with it, it's turned out to be a stunning rig.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, got there in the end 👌

[@Dr.Crawler]

Beautiful Truck. Thanks for keeping it real with the struggle part.

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks Brad. I like to give me experiences good and bad

[@BlackSeaRC]

It's a pity you didn't enjoy the build but I can appreciate why. All those tiny fixings must have been a real pain and it is annoying when parts don't quite fit as they should. The end result though is superb! The bergundy paint goes well with the wood panels and overall, the detailing has turned out very well.

[@monkeyearcheese420]

I've watched a few of your videos now and I totally dig your taste in music . I like how well rounded and random it is

[@danielfiander5731]

Awesome looking build to watch whilst I have my coffee & relax after work 👍

[@TomleyRC]

😎🤘

[@aljensen7779]

I watched this last night & wanted to comment that I can so resonate with having to finish a build but not wanting to have any more to do with the stupid thing. Some just end up like that but sometimes you glimpse one that you felt that way about when you built it but turned out surprisingly well. I wish I could qualify for the draw, Phil. You're becoming an amazing builder and I'd be proud to take that rig to our local crawler space. I especially like the shiny metal on the cargo box - they look DAMN good!

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks Al. It was just one of them builds… hopefully the Boom Racing that I have awaiting some attention will be less troublesome!

[@brianellison3525]

That came out sweet. Serious trophy. Thanks for the entertainment. Hope you and yours are warm and happy. Be well and have fun 😊

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks Brian. You too

[@wordreet]

This is brilliant Phil! And, no double entendre intended, but we were all looking forward to watching you mess about with your wood. . Dammit!Your wood looks good! (that's what she said)

absolutely beautiful 😍 I always look into projects like this but I am reluctant when I see how much goes into it haha

[@TomleyRC]

I think if you have no time limits or pressure on you to complete it then it would be much more enjoyable

[@DustyFingersRC]

I've used coffee to stain floorboards I have replaced in Victorian properties, works well 👍Looks excellent with all the details you added.

[@TomleyRC]

Certainly has a nice colour to it

[@modelnutty6503]

@@TomleyRC definitely! consider the price of stain now consider the price of some coffee and maybe put a little twist on it with some Koolaid added. black cherry? grape has a dark green-in base, lemon is obvious, etc. (let the wood drink it I sure ain't gonna!)

It looks great! Really detailed. This truck is one of the best iv seen if not the best.

[@randycoolbaugh1408]

I have this same model in my "someday" pile. I was rather unimpressed with the plastic bed. I was having a hard time figuring just how i would do it. You sir just made up my mind. That "flat black" looks just fine. especially paired with the "coffee staining" of the real wood!

I've used coffee to dye things but never thought about using it for wood. You got a nice oak looking stain out of that. Pretty awesome. 👍

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, looks a decent colour

[@muskokamike127]

Coffee, tea, coca cola, anything can be used to stain. I used tea before, boil the water for 3 cups and put 6 bags in and let it steep. More bags = darker the tone. I spilled coke on an unfinished pine fire pit bench...oh crap...wait...poured it over the whole thing and wiped it down after a few minutes "that turned out all right" lol. You should try mustard or ketchup!!!

[@peteryedica6510]

That truck looks great! It sucks when a build isn’t fun, I have projects that are sitting in bins cuz I get stressed whenever I think about finishing them! Hahaha!

I have the same 'wooden' bed except it'll be very heavily modified! First off, that plastic bed bottom is gone....and I'll be replacing it with real Basswood strips to replicate a real wooden bed. Next, the box sides will be cut down to half it's height and the reason for this is because this box will be installed into my SCX10-II all metal and portal axle'd 'UNIMOG' and the paint job is going to be completely heavily weathered with all metal parts with rust effects in an old aged orangey-yellow.....IT'S GONNA BE BEAUTIFUL

What a cool build! I love the color and stain you used too. As in all hobbies there are models that are not that fun to build. I am building a Dumas 1949 ChrisCraft runabout wooden boat. That is also a pain in the ass to work on. I have started it, then put it away for months, gotten back out and built more steps to it, then packed it away again. I bought it back in 2016.
