ibo Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Going to use cable tidy like I have done for the rear when they get hooked up to the cab,have used heat shrink from the rear to the front,cannot make my mind up weather to shrink it at the rear or just leave it,Iam leaning towards putting a plate over the rear so that will hide the shrink anyway,will come back to that later on though.

Oh How Original Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 You'd be surprised how many companies do have RC's of their full sized vehicles, not always RC, sometimes static, but the idea remains the same, most of the bus companies my Dad's worked for have had various model coaches in their company livery, they do look rather smart.

Enneaitch Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 We have static models and the owner of the company has plenty in his office. We are a commercial vehicle company and build Crane Trucks. it would be awesome to make a working R/C Crane Truck, there is on on youtube and its amazing! the details working crane etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
