Tamiya Grand Hauler Semi Truck UnBoxing

[@MWall711]

I have a king hauler with MFU and I kept the full interior with a driver. You can squeeze everything in the sleeper but you gotta be a bit creative. It's also easier to build the kit when you have the MFU. There are quite a bit of wires to run with all the lights and you'll end up needing to take some things apart later on to run all the wires. I also found the steering is not great. I ended up trimming some of the material where the rod ends kept bumping at full turns and also added angled rod ends to gain a little better turning radius. Super fun to build these! Enjoy!

[@GCMRacing1]

Great tips, thanks!! We did some steering trim on Robs Cascadia ya, I think it's the same setup here.

[@BobSmith1980.]

I want to do one of these so badly. The level of customising that can be done is amazing, so much after market goodies available

[@grfulgarcia]

Welcome to a whole new level a scale awesomeness just dove in myself... Enjoy it's a great build

[@GCMRacing1]

Oh, man these are fun!

[@MrCaprinut]

I built a Scania 620 6x4 in 2012 or so. Was to expensive to keep doing what I wanted to do, so I sold it after converted it to 6x6 and lifted it. Also had a Shell trailer. The King Hauler came out in July 93', so big rigs have been produced for a long long time.

[@GCMRacing1]

For sure, it's years now. I really didn't pay attention until a couple of years ago!

[@nicholasbarber4193]

Thanks for the shout out guys! :D The Grand Hauler is also stretched. I highly recommend the MFC, and fortunately, you know a guy... lol Also, you CAN fit the MFC in with the interior. It's quite cramped and a bit of a chore, but it can be done; I've packed it all in the sleeper of my King as well. Yeah, y'all will be having to get an enclosed trailer now that you're getting into 1/14. lol

[@GCMRacing1]

Good news, so it will fit! I like chores. Happy trucking!

[@vwagon5566]

Hey guys, it's about time. These semis have been out so long now. Great custom parts to add, wheels, axles, frame extensions 6" long that makes for a long, long semi. Going to get back into them myself...for sure. A new, old dimension of the R/C hobby. O..I forgot about the "sound" systems available.....have fun.

[@GCMRacing1]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, it's about time for sure!

[@grfulgarcia]

Option for sound kit... G.T. power has a great setup (cheaper then tamiya)... there is a 3d file for a mount for the grand hauler so everything with fit so you can use the interior... happy building

[@GCMRacing1]

Ah yeah! Another option for controls! Thanks!

[@redcrackeroutdoors3234]

Might have to check out this USTE thing in Florida, it sounds awesome!

[@tradgang]

Yeah I've rumors too....might try to go 😂

[@keithkeller6919]

Cool can't wait to see it in person and compete with you

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

I've waited nearly 20 years to get my first... I'm excited to see how Dana comes up with a tilt Hood for it. Also looking forward to seeing how the GCM Scale Transmission works with these big guys. Carmine ✈🚂🚙🎄🎅

[@dennis586]

You both always make really nice looking builds!

[@GCMRacing1]

Thanks!

[@rookie101_]

Love me a tiny big rig ! For sound and lights the servonaut or GT power are much more user friendly than the mfu as they play nice with any remote.

[@GCMRacing1]

Never heard of that one, so thanks for the tip! Yeah! I'll check those out!

[@Dago222]

Check out Mateo's video called first mission. He built one of the first Grand Haulers with Tamiya's stainless tanker trailer behind it. The best video I have seen on this truck yet.

Awesome! Thanks!

[@GCMRacing1]

Oh dude, these just never end... the amount of customization and available stuff is off the charts! And the Tamiya kits are super precise builds, and great fun to drive!

[@timdoyle8199]

I'm getting ready to order that kight Hauler from Asia teas including the shipping about 360 to my door, it's the best price I've seen. ( In the good ole US we pronounce it like ("Deekals") Decals

[@GCMRacing1]

Deekals! Yeah!

[@keithcarchide806]

[@sean_hanley]

I love missing work to play with RC's!

[@johnm0eou]

can you please tell me for these kits what is the best glue / adhesive for the lights / lenses

[@Kingofthecountry7484]

I have one from Maximum overdrive the green goblin

[@peterkarv2845]

I thought mine was big!!! Bahahaha!! U even had to cut the video I think.

[@davidhazelden2054]

The best sound n lights n speed controler is the servanort system there lot easier to install n small so u can put the interior in them the mfu r quit hard to set up if u have a look at scotty555baby you tube he got lot vids off trucks m8 👍👍👍

[@GCMRacing1]
