OMG you are by far the best build orator I have ever watched - thanks for making my semi-truck build be a success by being able to flip back here.

[@mrrobertwolfiii1079]

Mojo risen going to keep on risen.

Bleach strips chrome off plastic really well with no damage to the plastic at all. Just drop the part into the bleach and walk away for a couple of hours to let the bleach do its job. Wash the part off in water and it's ready to paint.

Great looking truck ! Thanks for sharing.

I May Have Discoverd a New Hobby !!!!!!

[@thatsmyrc]

nice upgrades I have a hauler kit I havent started yet still finishing off a few ertl 1/16 diecast rc tractor conversions before I crack the box open on the hauler..I've subbed to follow back on these vids good work bud thumbs up also

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Great choice of ESC Kevin!! The Drag Brake is actually useful for Big Rigs too! A lot of momentum there... This is my *6th time* watching this Series. 😉😎 I'm still hoping to someday have one of my own. Carmine ✈🚂🚙

[@RCMojoTV]

6th? Crikey! You really can't beat the 1080 for it's control and smoothness for the price. And I'm not a Kevin, he does the music. I'm a Nick

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

@@RCMojoTV *OOPS!!* Sorry Mate, I usually remember those things. Getting old!! I definitely agree with the 1080. Best bang for the buck!

[@andyrichey1192]

[@uncletom1971]

Great video. What steering servo are you using? It seems pretty fast and responsive.

[@jessiespencer3983]

Your really smart when it comes to rc btw

[@brianhilligoss]

Look into a Alien power systems brushless sensored outrunner motor. Slow but with gobs of power.

[@steliannistor1878]

First thing when you buy a tamiya truck is change the motor..55 turn is the best way to go…metal axels,aluminum wheels etc etc…2000$ later I will be happy☝️

[@desaburolimons3369]

Hello, can you please tell me what scale is the truck...and can you please tell me the measurements of the front tires and wheels...thank you

[@adtjtjdjsj]

Dumb question

Hey I live in the USA and I’ve had Rc planes 10th scale race cars and boats I’m really interested in Rc trucks both kits and RTR platforms could you offer some online stores that I might purchase them from

[@ACE999]

You have 10 times the choice we have here, so get researching.

[@lawrencemattson3456]

James Walton do you live on the east coast? I’m looking into getting the grand hauler from tower hobby’s

[@pf465]

Hi do you ship lights and modules outside of UK?

[@RCMojoTV]

I haven't built any modules for a while, but when they're in stock I'll happily send them anywhere Royal Mail covers

[@stratmaster5]

A 55 motor works great

[@manuelchaves6835]

Hi, I'm rooke in rc Car, and mi fist Project is tank II War, do you have ano vídeo to biginners, in especial tanks? Tks

[@RCMojoTV]

There's a complete build up and mod series on a Heng Long Tiger I in amongst the videos on the channel.

[@manuelchaves6835]

RCMojoTV Tks,

[@agustinsorgentini4185]

When the motor was running backwards, couldn't you reverse the thrortle on the transmitter or connect blue-yellow yellow-blue? I mean it is simpler. Anyways, awesome video. You should get a trailer!

[@RCMojoTV]

Reversing the channel wouldn’t work, the ESC calibration would cancel it out. Swapping the wires is in effect what I did, except I swapped them at the motor so the wire colours match up end to end. As for the trailer, stay tuned ;)

[@agustinsorgentini4185]

Oh yes i lofe perfectionist people! Greetings from argentina

[@kenc4240]

Just Got Into Watching RC Videos today Seen Dozens Of German & European Trucks,I Perfer The Kenworths,Peterbuilts,With That Said where Do You Buy These at & what Kind Of $$$$$ Is Something Like Your Peterbuilt Worth??????

[@RCMojoTV]

For Tamiya kits they usually come from Modelsport, or from a UK based eBay seller if there’s a particularly good deal going. As for worth, a built up truck with lights, radio etc. usually go for £800 second hand. The trick I think is to build it up slowly and add parts a bit at a time, that way you don’t get the big sticker shock on the first order!

[@NICKSSHOP]

where you get the rig at.

[@RCMojoTV]

Do a search for "Tamiya Grand Hauler" and you'll get lots of shops near you
