.AJ. Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Its a bit bigger than the average SCX10 Cant wait to start building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Knowing you, its more 2:1 on that this is completed by the weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 It looks interesting mate, not your usual kind of build, in fact quite a departure.... what prompted the change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 I've built plenty like this in past, I've had 2 SCX10's, a Sawback and the Wraith, ohh and the RC tanks I've built. Also been badgered by a mate to get a truck to do the Scale Nats and me being me I'm always on the look out for something different 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 What's the truck supposed to be? Can't make it out. The cab looks like an F250 / F350 but the front grille's a bit different, then there's that 'hood scoop'. Interesting bit of kit. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Not sure tbh, it's a bit of a mishmash, guess it's so no royalties have to be paid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 These things look amazing as a tow truck, something not quite an artic, but big enough to pull a decent sized trailer and look correct to scale while doing it. Good choice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 One of them fifth wheel caravans behind this would look spectacular!!! nice choice mate, there 8x8 trucks look very robust so I'm sure this will be much of the same I guess. look forward to meeting you at the scale nats too, should be a great event this year..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC4WD fan Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 one thing you might want to do is take the gear box apart and see if there's enough grease in there if it's anything like the RC4WD kits also the axles if there pre-built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Funny you say that, I checked it lastnight and it was greased, but there wasn't that much, so added some more Edited March 18, 2016 by .AJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Why not do both trailers mate? making the chassis and running gear on the caravan should be easy enough then some plasticard and glue. now seeing your previous work throughout the site, this really excites me, if you do it anything like your other builds, it's gonna be a good un Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 I didn't think of it that way, sounds like a plan, I'm finishing work in min so I'm going to start on the build for a couple hours before I pick my daughter up from school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) A bit more progress Love the exhaust pipes mounted on wires so they bounce around like on a 1/1, obviously I need to paint them yet... Front end Next I'm building the axles and rear leaf springs..... Edited March 18, 2016 by .AJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
