Tamiya 1/14 Volvo FH16 Tow Truck Build - Part 4 Actuator & Chassis (Updated)

[@RDTrucking]

I really love the way you build... "boy there's alot of posabillitys to ad more features to this model remotly... future project hrm" I just Love that comment! You are such an inspration!

[@rapscallion3506]

Man I am thisclose to pulling the trigger on this one. As a long time Tamiya RC builder of 1/16 tanks (remote and static), this kit really gets my juices flowing! Must exercise self control.

[@daviddesaulniers6152]

Really enjoy watching these builds...but the wait in between is KILLING me :)

[@stephenmanley4097]

It's looking good Bob, that actuator is made to usual high Tamiya standards & all goes together well. 👍

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes! The stuff is expensive but the quality is apparent!

[@janvanrenselaar5998]

Hi bob i watched the whole building of this truck. And you do a good job and make it looks easy. I am using only the complete chassis and cab. I am building a heavy haulage truck with a dolly and a fury bear 2+5 lowloader with steering axles. Could not afford a scale models tractor with 4 axle and this will do well and i prefer the double steering frontaxle on this volvo. Keep on building.

[@ianheadland6939]

Hi Bob Just a comment the 'plate' bearing is also known as a thrust bearing and the clutch is known as a sprag clutch in the engineering world Enjoying the build!

[@lchebuhar9212]

Truck is massive ! Very cool.

[@charlessmith6636]

Bob I’m going to give you both thumbs up I’m loving the build as always looking forward to the next video

[@williekaufhold4453]

That would look good in my collection of semi’s.👍

I. Started. Watching. 4. An. My. Dogs. Say. No. But. I. Did. See. 4 and. Love. How. It's. Coming. Very. Nice. Brother. Big. Big. Lee

[@aaronjohnson3129]

Thank you I have learned alot watching your videos just one question how hard would it be to build a rubber duck truck from the movie and thanks again

[@marcblackman7372]

Is the top winch wound the right way? Looks like it should feed from the bottom

[@donaldtindall4331]

Awesome build!! I can see you selling me one in the future.

[@clivecro4971]

Hi Bob Can I ask, in your humble opinion do you think that it would be possible to convert this cab only from the Volvo to one of the R series Scania bodies from one of the Tamiya scania trucks. If you think that it would be simple or difficult with a lot of scratch building etc I would really appreciate your in put. Keep up the great videos they are really informative and useful 👍

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

It will take some work to modify but I don't think a horrible amount. Would sure look good when finished!

[@lukes5533]

I noticed the second steer axle wheels look to be turned more than the front axle . Should be the other way around correct?

[@Dr4g0nW00d]

I saw the video in my recommendations and I was like oh another video for this build and 1 st comment here I like it to watch keep it going and excited for the finished build

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Thank you! I am glad you are enjoying watching. I try to have fun and be educational with these so I really do appreciate everyone who watches.

[@Duraltia]

@16:41 Those two round thingies look like the horizontal Turret Bearings of my #56018 King Tiger xD

[@rcmindset2876]

I know you made an awesome trailer but are you going to get the HG trailer that recently came out?

[@rcmindset2876]

Do you ever have your tires slip on the rim from the way you glue them?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Never have had them slip or come off, but remember this is a semi truck not a basher or crawler so not near as much asked from the tires.

[@philmclaren7997]

I would love to buy one but at over a grand it’s out of my reach.

[@kermisdodgem]

for that money they should put ballbearings in the kit

[@walterthompson8697]

Any chance that Tamiya will be making a RC version of the Tesla Semi?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I would say Tesla should build it first :-)

[@westernsharpie]

whats with the bowen shirt, you been there? i've been there all week. curious to know the story. west van bowen right

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Good catch! Love that place. Went there several times in our boat while cruising in Canada.

[@westernsharpie]

@@HobbyconceptsLLC wow, small world considering how tiny bowen is. We've done painting for lots of folks out there. You outta Washington? Helluva build btw

[@michaelleith4938]

Hi Bob, do you know if you can use the actuator set without an mfc 03?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

You can. Just plugs in like a servo.

[@pnwRC.]

I'm curious if a Actuonix actuator would be a cheaper alternative to the Tamiya actuator for this build?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Looks like lots of easy ways to do it without the Tamiya actuator but wanted to use the Tamiya unit for this build. certainly can't fault the quality the thing is beautiful!

[@pnwRC.]

@@HobbyconceptsLLC agreed

[@markcarr1605]

Definitely cheaper. But the oversized holes tamiya used for there actuator would require reworking.

[@キーノマサカリ]

56361のダンプよりもアクチュエーターをセットしやすい？？

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I have not finished that yet but will in the next video. It does look pretty easy.

[@キーノマサカリ]

完成したら、すごいインパクトが有りそうですね？？ 他のラジコントラックを牽引するシーンも、見れたら良いな！！

[@robertlindseyjr8396]

It would only take a few grand to make it full hydraulic

[@michaeltanner9692]

What size ball bearings for the front wheels bob?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

5 x 11

[@mickbentley5453]

What servo will you use for the gear shift

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I just grabbed a standard servo out of my spare servo box. The shift servo can be pretty much anything - very little load on it.

[@williekaufhold4453]

Does the actuator come with the kit.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Separate, Part #56553

[@nerdhobbies5865]

i want one of these now so bad but dang $1k
