You are a magician bob and I don’t think I would love this 1/14 scale trucks and building as I do without trying and putting you knowledge and tips into my builds. I Thankyou for for teaching me what I know to this date. 👊

[@DarrenBeniston-x7v]

Bob you always have great videos on better ways of doing things with the tamiya trucks ,I've never liked how tamiya did the servo mount for the 5th wheel yours is so simple ,keep the great videos coming

[@PeterWolffe-ch2ct]

Hi Bob. Thanks for your video. It was great help with this conversion I'm definitely going to use this myself Thanks .

[@stephenberry4269]

Bob yer a genius. I was messing with the bent wire method but seen this video and had it done an hour later. Just awsome content.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes, this works better and is easier!

[@webyer]

Tried your trick with a cheap Chinese mini servo and your video did guide me thru very easy, unfortunately glue got in the servo making the assembly not usable. Keep making those nice DIY video.

[@lucatirino2455]

excellent. There is a lot to learn from you❤❤

[@ultrakilla123]

Great video again bob. I just look back at your wireless flatbed set up with the globe liner and was following to bind two receivers. And unfortunately i had the FS-i6B and i seen that you said it wouldn't work so i ordered another 6 ch from your shop. Thanks for the advice!!!

[@truckerray7533]

Job well done! I was hoping to see ya hook up to a trailer king pin with your fifth wheel plate using your micro servo locking jaw!

[@luispabloguevaraacosta666]

😮😮 wauuu Bob... es una buena idea, gracias

[@lars-uweschubert898]

👍💪great job 😉🚛

[@NEMESIS69CH]

New Volvo FH16 750 XL has another coupler plate without enough place to glue a servo on

[@stephenliggat]

I always set mine up using fishing line from the hook loop it round the coupler swivel pin to the servo underneath there’s no linkage on show that way

[@drinternatg6391]

Wish you had done more while zoomed in to help my old eyes

[@rcinhand9671]

Good info! I have a third semi I'm building, but two trailers. I just need the remote coupler for the third truck. Do you know who sells the parts for it?

[@lynnfysh9418]

this did not work on my truck as the spring is not the same as yours on the globe liner you have to do it the other way round to the way that you did it

[@makewithmegma]

💕👍

[@jamesfisk2758]

Bob, this is great. This method should work when using a motorized trailer leg kit too correct?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes, but you have to move the servo to the other side of the deck as they move the ball on the coupler to the other side.

[@jamesfisk2758]

great... be on the lookout for a micro servo order. Thank you. @@HobbyconceptsLLC

Boa noite vc vai viver a vida toda e não vai fazer uma doação de um caminhão pra mim.kkk.vc vai conseguir conviver com isso?

[@BrettK-r8e]

Will this setup work if you use it to raise and lower the landing gear on a trailer

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes, but you have to move the servo to the other side of the coupler deck.

[@zip50cc]

Love your videos but there seemed to a lot of background noise and your voice got lost

[@tony5247mittens]

Bob do you sell the servo tester??

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]
