There was a project of an experimental vehicle back in early 2000s. M62 diesel locomotive was installed on the MZKT-7919 chassis, only one prototype was built. I guess this vehicle became the source of inspiration for all these train-like trucks.

I have literally no idea of RC Cars, Trucks, Trains, and so on... Still I just watched a guy build a 10x10 truck for 80 minutes. I regret nothing. I wish you the most fun possible with your truck and I hope for no more problems. It looks great man :D

Try watching the build videos for Armortek tanks, they are a real treat and some master modelers at work building those 100kg behemoths. One guy did something like a 120 video series, about 20 minutes per for one Tiger Tank build.

Honestly, I think every RC modeler should try a massive, painstaking build once in their lives. I bought a Tamiya 1/16 tank kit and let it sit in my closet for 6 years before I got around to building it (I knew it was going to be a massive project). It took me a a few months to complete it, working a few hours at a time in evenings. The masking, painting and weathering took the longest. It turned out fantastic. When people see it they think it is a static model. The smiles it gets when you fire it up are priceless.

About 20 years ago, I built a Tamiya Subaru Impreza kit. Not a big project I know, but the trouble I had with it because I didn't have the correct tools for the job. I resorted to buying a scalpel for cutting. Excellent tool for the job. What I didn't consider was a cutting surface. I was living in a rented house with my space being one double bedroom. Because I couldn't risk damaging the carpet, I decided to use my lap. I soon learned why cutting plastic with a scalpel on my lap was not a good idea. I pierced my own spud sack with the scalpel. I used super glue to repair the slices skin on my gentleman's bag and got back to building. Having not learned a single lesson, I ended up embedding the scalpel in my knee, right down to the handle 😂 That required a trip to the hospital where I learned I almost sliced right through a ligament. 2mm away! That car was forged in blood. I loved it. I must order an RC kit and do an entire build. I've been building and painting Warhammer 40K miniatures (even RC'd a few of the vehicles; I have an RC Baneblade 👍) for a couple of years now, so I've got all the necessary tools (I also taught myself to airbrush to a fairly decent standard) and a proper work area to minimise the potential of injury. I bet I still manage, though 😅

Howdy! Hello from America. My name is Chris and it was an absolute pleasure to go on this build journey with you! I built and repaired ATM machines for about 5 years and worked with a lot of the same tools. A lot of the same parts and components are used also from small brush motors, leads, circuits, wiring harnesses, led's, cosmetic plastic and metal panels and parts. Just about every screw was machined and some so small you needed magnetic bits and glasses to run them. The card readers from the cash dispensers had to be built and put together then inspected before installed. But i would like to mention that however i do understand your want to not damage or strip a screw and hand driving every screw. We had that same issue! Every new hire we put in the back breaking down the old used or damaged ATM machines bought for parts, they were stripping just about everything we gave them. Yes we used drills but the drills we used were made for this exact situation! Our drills were small handheld drills that were torqued with an adjustable clutch. Just by turning the numbered dial on the front of the drill you can adjust your drill to torque down to a certain poundage onto whatever your trying to drive. So say you had the dial set to 3 on your drill... you're running that screw with 3 lbs of torque and when the drill reaches that set poundage the clutch activates and will allow it to "slip". Making a clicking or grinding noise and will not drive the screw any further. That "clicking" noise is your cue to stop! It amazed me at how many people had no idea how to operate a torque drill or what a torque drill even was or what the numbers on that front dial even means. Ive probably explained it over a thousand times Lol! Just in case you didnt know... i hope this helps you. You can find a torque drill along with any size bit to fit any screw or nut at your local hardware store. Its not a specialty tool and not too expensive. It was a lifesaver when i had to run screws into the cosmetic plastics to mount them! As you know the screw holes are molded into the plastic! I would set my drill to 2 or 3 at the most and never stripped or broke the plastic screw holes, ever! If i would have had to hand run all those screws i would have never got those orders out on time!

Snow piercer comes to mind. For the cabin, maybe you can use some neodymium magnets and in an emergency or maintenace pull it off, the front rake would look good pointing forwards 90° to the cabin, and may i recommend some kind of gaskets on the electrical panels and heatshrink the connectors if youre planning on drowning it in mud. Great video, also, i would release a bit the clutch to stop that pin snaping. Maybe there is too much torque set on it 👍

Sounds like the pin in the gear box is working correctly as it is sheering before other components fail. You might want to down size the motors under the 1600 that was recommended by the manufacture if you can. Increasing the pin size will likely cause other components to fail. Nice build and video btw

I think that building larger and heavier RC vehicles eventually has a point of diminishing returns. You can make them huge but they'll always be a weak point. To build one proper durable then it'd be so heavy and or expensive that nobody could or would buy it. This and the Raminator seem to be slightly beyond that point. I really like both vehicles but I'm glad I'm watching other folks own them. Thanks for doing this so we don't have to, lol.

You have to mask off the glue lines. At least that’s what I had to do when I put together a Tamiya tank. As you pointed out, glue won’t work if there is paint present. This is why many people suggest glueing everything together first and then use an airbrush to paint the model. If you don’t have an airbrush though, I thinking masking off the glue lines, painting and then gluing is the only alternative.
