little blue truck

thought id share my never ending project with everyone ordered a nathan k3ha yesterday so stay tuned for updates have been running a conductors special for awhile now and decided its just not loud enough anymore :smiley:

thats a nice ride here!!! btw good choice with the k3!!!

pics 2 and 3 look differentā€¦ the front wheel arch is different

nice ride tho :slight_smile: air ride ?

yeah bagged and bodydropped

how much of a body drop?

Nice man I like it

the setup is 4 link rear end with slam specalties 6ā€™s and in the front im using 5ā€™s with modified stock control arms the truck has a traditional 5" body drop lays pinch welds it has a 5 gallon tank with the new air zenith ob2 ā€œblackā€ compressor at 200psi also 1/2" parker valves

I have seen that truck around, nice ride.

How Are you liking the OB2?

it seems to be alright got it for free cause my ob1 was a GIANT piece of crapā€¦ i think its a little faster and have been running the crap out of it so id say they finally have all these bugs worked out 2 years later :rolleyes: but for the price tag if i had to do it again viair ftw or engine driven

so got this today and put it on andā€¦ i like it sounds good videos due these things absolutly no justice we live in a boring town so i usually go hang out at the train station everynight and after having the shockers and hearing the real train everynight it was only right to get the one i hear everynight on csxā€™s

awesome gotta love the k3!!!

so got my new 1/2" valve from Horn Blasters today gotta say i like it lot cheaper than my parkers lol : ) now the horn is loudā€¦ 3/8" to 1/2" was quite the step up

Yep its amazing the sound difference from a smaller size tube to a 1/2inch tube on these horns. If ya get a manual lever type train horn valve u can slowly change the pitch of the horn also if ya have the room to mount a lever valve any were lol .

yeah i know about them just dont have any room for it i wish someone would come up with some kind of multiple resistance valve to be able to open a valve little by little with a 12v manual valve

Mate Iā€™m working on that one over here in Englandā€¦

We have 12v Central heating systems, which means 12v diverter valvesā€¦

Iā€™m an Electrical contractor (posh name for a Electrician) and recently wired up a under floor heating wet system manifoldā€¦ this woz 12v, but the valve opens quite slowly, so am looking at ways to modify itā€¦ Iā€™ll let everyone know if manage to sort something!!! I could make millions!!! lol:D

cool cool yeah im a electrican over here in the states i might beat you to it : ) well see but it just bothers me no one has thought of it its quite easy and extremely air savingā€¦ i guess you could say? lol

Mr Trafficjamz, Kinda wanna pick your brains a littleā€¦

After seeing your truck, Iā€™m now thinking along the same linesā€¦ I want something JAP (nissan, honda, Toyota), Crew cabbed & something I can slam to the floor!.. any ideas or pics would be appreciated!:smiley:

i dont think that a 12v manual vavle is tooo hard to come up withā€¦can anyone get a servo that are used for RC planes and modify it to a regular ball vavle???i dont think i can do itā€¦put some electrician may know how

Iā€™ve tried it even tho I new it was going to be a major Failā€¦ The RC servo just is not strong enough!
