300 ton Clark&Son low-boy

CustomRCmodels R/C Trucks | home

here is something special which will drop chins at every R/C trucking-event you go !

a 300 ton low-boy in 1/16 scale !

Ric Murphy from Precision Models Distributor ( www.Gardentrucking.com )

presented this monster at the this years R/C trucking-event in Indianapolis

in these photos you see this 1/16 scale low-boy hooked up to my custom-build 1/14 scale Tamiya 6WD Globeliner

and as load we used the model of a 1/20 scale Tamiya Mammoth dump-truck

this low-boy has steering in the rear-dolly and is mend to be driven with 2 people ,

one is driving the pulling tractor and the second person controls the rear

even thought this low-boy is extremely long , because of the steering in the rear dolly

you can swing this monster around smaller turns as what you could do with a regular 40 or 53 foot trailer model !

we drove this monster all over our layout without any problems !

later on I had to try the single-driver setup ...

I used a second receiver in the rear dolly and controlled the pulling tractor and the rear steering via just 1 transmitter !

after getting used to it , it was not that hard to drive it ,

in fact , I had a blast !
