This truck was originally built by RCGuyFarms. You might have to force google to search the name cause it keeps showing results for similar names. It was made okay but the drive was just 2 continuous rotation servos. I never managed to make it have a driven axle unfortunately. I sold it to a guy down in the usa but by the time it got there, the post office had it's way with it and it was all in pieces..
@@thestuffz Its pretty cool, I am trying to see if i can get one at the moment, but they are not cheap, and then because i wanna convert it i get to cut it up too lol, I want to try and make one into a dump truck, so its going to be a project, but everything about this truck seems like a challenge, first is getting one lol. I am glad you took the little video, i wish i could see more :)
@@thestuffz oh cool I’ll search. I just bought one this morning off eBay. I am not sure what I will use for it yet, a wpl rc drive assembly would work I think. Or perhaps some geared motors. I am going to take my time with it though. I would like to make it a 4x4 though just for helping it not get so stuck. I’ll check out the other video. Thanks for the insight. Always appreciated.
Hello! I have looked everywhere to try to find the belt routing for this car. I have to replace the belt but cant seem to find a diagram. Can you send any tips please?
It all depends what engine you have. Google your year and engine with buick/olds etc and it should show something for you. also depends what accessories you have.
Has anyone tried to make fuel tanks as the battery anyone seen anything like that? I’ve been brain storming this if you somehow took the fuel tanks fit like 4 rechargeable batteries in each one in the sequence like a battery pack you’d have to run wires across to make them one battery but also put a charge port in one of them where you plug a single prong charger into charge it up so the tanks don’t have to come off each time. I think that would be sick AF it would be like fuel in the tanks haha
if you mean like a push one that you can buy at walmart, probably no. Not enough weight/traction. would want something 4x4 and be able to put a weight on it for traction. Not sure if a Clodbuster would do it either
I owned one of those up in upstate NY for about 3 years. I paid $250 for it and had to put brake lines and an exhaust on it , the interior was almost perfect. It was also the quickest starting car I have ever owned, one pump of the gas and just touch the key and it started every time even on the coldest winter day. I still keep my own open for another one of those cause nothing else was as comfortable, not even the Cadillac I owned.
Heh funny you should ask. Yesterday was the day I bought it new in 2015. in 2018 I traded it off. The mileage was amazing for a truck. Oil changes cost just as much as a powerstroke or a cummins at an oil change place. It held like 5 gallons of oil I swear. There was 2 big issues. #1 was when it gets hurt your face cold out, it would pee oil out on the ground from the cartridge style filter housing. left marks at work, the gate, my driveway every cold day. FCA wouldn't do anything about it. I almost want to blame those "smart" block heaters that only turn on at certain temps... There was a few times in the -50 that it had a hard time to start but never stranded me. Also the DEF system didn't like freeze and thaw days... #2 even though towing my 7800 pound camper it got about 15mpg but it was all that truck had to do 65mph/100kmhr. Passing was not an option. I had to put air bags in the springs to get rid of the 1/2 ton sagging.
@@thestuffz i have 130k miles on mine. And now having this same cranking issue and it's not cold out. Id take ice fishing trips to the UP and experience well below freezing temps many times and never had a hard start issue. I appreciate you getting back with me. 👍
Amazing❗ ¥ours is in such good shape😳 My dad bought this for my Christmas gift. My first hobby grade RC (I was 10 yrs old in 83). He helped me build it. The used gray shrink tubing you found in the box is right there in step 14 (@ 21.26 ) supposed to go around the motor to keep water & dirt out. The missing sticker from your sheet is there in step 26 (@ 23.08 ) gauge cluster above the steering wheel. The tire sticker (@ 23:12) on my wild Willy 2: cut out from the sticker sheet, but I did not stick it normally. I put three loops of tape behind it and then stuck it to the fake tire. That way I don't have to punch a hole in it to remove. (Just peel it then put new loop tape after)
@@thestuffz I currently own a Buick Regal LS it’s a 2002 it’s got the 3.8 L V6 engine. runs great 👍 I’ve owned it almost 6 years now it is a great highway car I am not gonna say it’s the greatest on gas ⛽️ but it does good on the highway.
The Econoline vans had that dash up until 1991!! because the 74-77 dash clusters are so fragile, lots of people scavenge those dashes for their trucks!
@@thestuffz yes, i was not able to switch from the horn to the support legs servo. i did not calibrate it but since you need to push the stick all the way it should not matter i think.
I use it whenever I need a cutting board. Yes they still make these although they are not cheap. about 175 on amazon. The non built in cutting board is much cheaper.
