Gavin I enjoy your English accent don't forget the blinker fluid LoL enjoy the Rckicks 🍒♥️👉👈🏇

[@cosworth34677]

Being a rc truck guy to, your friends is right they never are done you always find something new to do to them and you'll love it trust me just a heads-up they are kind of quick for them selves so they are easy to roll and the steering is kind of lose so dive slow and easy

[@duncone83]

Looks amazing have been looking forward to the next episode to see how it’s progressing

[@RCKickschannel]

I’ve been working on the truck again today.

[@davesamsung4545]

You've done a cracking job on the paint.

[@markpace5809]

Love your choice in colours concerning fuel tank, tank bands, air box, ect, ect. Excellent choice 👌👍

[@darwill7834]

When painting your metallic's try using a gloss black undercoat brings them out loads better .

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks for the tip. I’m not totally happy with the tanks so I will be back on them. I’ll try it 👍🏻

[@johnmalone8790]

That thing looks absolutely fantastic...

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks John. Fingers crossed it will turn out OK.

[@mattiasrc]

Comes togheter real nice, and yes it´s true...trucks are a neverending story, there is always something you can mod or add or rebuild and so on.

[@UKGtrotter2k]

looking good Gav, should get a bottle of Canopy Glue or Humbrol/Revell Clear Fix glue for clear parts.

[@janvanrenselaar5998]

As you said,A RC truck is always a work in progress and will have challenges i can give you a REAL challenge. Build the Volvo FH 16 Wrecker with the 4 axles. Then we you finaly build it wait 2 years and start converting it to a Heavy load tractor with a Fury Bear 2 plus 5 axles deeploader,all with steering axles.I am not in my 2th year of that and for 75% done. But it will be a beauty. Not to much bling bling on it, And that Mercedes is looking good so far. In the UK there are a few huge RC truck clubs,visit them and you will see jawdropping Rc Trucks.

[@jeschreindl]

Coming along nicely Gavin. Great job 👍🏻

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks Josh. One more big push and I should be able to finish it. Still a load of mods to do after that but first I just want to get it built.

[@andrewsartorius7350]

Looks amazing mate top job

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks, Andrew. 👍 More small truck parts painting today mixed in with a few flying stints as the wind is low at the mo.

[@the_bearded_wonder]

I’m really enjoying watching your video on this truck, I’ve just finished building my own and it genuinely took me nearly 3 weeks to get the build and painting and final finish done.. it looks amazing but the amount of work involved is outrageous! I havent fitted a light/sound kit yet as the expense of the truck covered my Xmas budget but I’ve since learned that I’m going to have to possibly dismantle mine to fit everything! The joys! Looking forward to seeing yours finished and also your content is awesome! 👍

[@paulus842000]

Wow, that is a really nice build, I can't imagine how many hours you've put in the build and the filming and editing. I'm truly grateful for the wonderful content you give us 👍❤️

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks! Yep masking was a good few hours lol.

[@ajfvajf5]

Finally, been waiting on this😁

[@RCKickschannel]

Sorry for the delay Andy.

[@ajfvajf5]

@@RCKickschannel no worries, I'm in the US but looking forward to doing a custom build 5 or 6 axle heavy hauler Scania after I retire soon 😉

[@n22pdf]

Great build looks awesome

[@RCKickschannel]

Glad you like i Petet

[@bs1wl]

[@nickrobertson2450]

The idea of getting a truck is starting to scare me! 😂

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Wow, it's coming along very nicely👍 The red that you've used looks fantastic, really pops! I can't wait to see it finished and running, you've done a great job so far😃😃

[@RCKickschannel]

Thank you Barry! Cheers!

[@gadsrc]

Coming along real nice Gavin, cheers :)

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks 👍

[@tamiyarcbuggyscarsandtruck7621]

The truck looks good in red mine is black

[@RCKickschannel]

I wanted something bright that would pop. I did think of black and silver but red this time.

[@michaelqendro9825]

Looks nice.

[@JF-RC]

Hi Gavin, nice Mercedes Benz Actros. It’s coming along nicely now. I too am building a truck with the MFC-03 unit too. I’m doing the Scania R620. I’m up to step 39 the wheels. I have done the spraying of the body panels, just got the detailing of the body panels to do, but as you’ve said, this is a long build, with lots of smaller pieces and intricate steps involving painting small pieces, before gluing ( carefully ) into place. I’m doing mine in the Mica Red, box art. It’s taken 3 cans of the Tamiya colour. Wish I’d used the Halfords paint now, due to the cost of Tamiya paint. Got the rear lights done too, I’ve manufactured my own set of reverse lights. Got to do some cable management as well. Enjoying the challenge of this great truck and the Tamiya manual is superb as usual. Take care, all the best 😉😊😉

[@RCKickschannel]

Yep I think you hit the nail on the head with these trucks John. It's a long detailed build that just can't be rushed. So many small parts that need painting before you can fit them. Post some pics on the RCKicks Facebook group if you're a member as I'm sure people would love to see it.

[@RichB07]

Those are so cool. I have to build one someday . Very nice job on this one . Looks great !!!

[@RCKickschannel]

Thank you! OWRC

[@markmerrin1606]

Looking mint mate...👍🇬🇧😎

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks Mark, I'm trying to keep the quality up. 👍

[@jamesdash1906]

I'm still working on my Grand Hauler.but mine is not stock

[@philmoffett366]

Its going to look fantastic👍 I would love to have a go at building one but I drive the real thing and at the end of the week I can't wait to walk away from them! I would love to see if they have the same driving characteristics as the actual thing?

[@RCKickschannel]

It would be interesting to know how it drives vs a real lorry.

[@benmarchant8637]

Awesome 😎

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks Ben. Still a way to go but progress has been made.

[@sharankumar2506]

Will you get a trailer?

[@RCKickschannel]

You bet I will!

[@willi19671]

0:10 AMAZING STUNNING Porsche 934 ! Where do you get these 4x Rally light holders from ? Cheers from Germany

[@RCKickschannel]

It was 3D printed by an RCKicks viewer.

[@willi19671]

@@RCKickschannel Does he sell these things ? I am building a rally car based on the Martini RSR. Thanks for your support

[@JeepsCafe]

Beautiful truck, but a lot of work.

[@jhessieboy]

Awesome build but wont it be easier to paint the red first then the black?

[@RCKickschannel]

I don’t think it’s much different as I did think about it before painting. The only plus I could see was, touching up the black from red overspray would be easier than touching up red from black.

[@jhessieboy]

@@RCKickschannel makes sense. Thanks, gav!

[@puppersmurf4358]

Hello where about did you get the metal 5th wheel looked on line can't seem to find them

[@RCKickschannel]

eBay I think it was.

[@hafizidonya8356]

May i know what color code do you use?

[@RCKickschannel]

It was car paint. I can't remember but the name should be in the video

[@Alex_fergo]

Where did you get the alloy 5th wheel from? Cheers

[@RCKickschannel]

Ebay

[@KieranBriggs]

looking good Gav. I spend months on my Knight Hauler and it was one of my favourite builds. I thought you were planning on painting it up in the Mercedes F1 Livery?

[@RCKickschannel]

Yep that went out the window when I found a picture of the red truck in the video. The F1 Benz trucks are just not that exciting.

[@OliversAviationvideo]

By the way silver is the worst colour for showing up every last little mark.

[@Yetiboy_FCTT]

Silly question, but why are you showing the Mercedes Arocs when you're building the Mercedes Actros?

[@RCKickschannel]

It’s the inspiration for the colour I’m going to paint mine. When it’s finished I’ll take some images of it and then go back and update the build thumbnails.

[@Yetiboy_FCTT]

@@RCKickschannel it still looks good though 😊
