So about 2 months back I got an R620 for my birthday and im getting to the stage that i'm customizing it to my liking.
so i'm planning on getting chrome tanks for either side, and scale diamond plate deck on it. I moved the battery to up in the cab out of the way.

I did more mods to my truck today, I ditched the futaba steering servo and replaced it with a traxxas mini servo so I could mount it under the cab.

I'v now got 2 tanks, a 3Racing Light Unit and a new radio system coming (I needed more channels for Izzy's trailer)

A 3Racing light unit
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221151498... 4.m1497.l2649
A 65T motor

An RC4WD R2, 2 speed transmission

and a punisher shaft

Eventually i'll get a TLT-1 for a front axle, but that will happen when I get the money, but that's why I got the transmission.
any questions, criticisms or recommendations would be nice.
Thanks Buzzy

Thanks guys, i'v got styrene coming at the moment to make a box to put behind the cab.
buzzy16
03-12-2013, 09:56 PM
so I finally got all the styrene I ordered and have been making the bod for the back of my truck to store the battery for the truck and battery and controller for Izzy's trailer that is finished and almost on it's way!! :D
so heres the box, I will paint it and make it look good soon but for now this is it.

lookimg good so far I like the tanks they look great on there. how does the mini servo work? is it strong enough?
buzzy16
03-14-2013, 02:04 AM
Thanks, the tanks are from Russ, I polished them up but they seem to like finger prints. Haha
And I ended up changing that setup out for the original servo, I have the steering servo and gear servo setup like they are in the knight hauler. Even that is struggling abit, I'll see how it goes once I get a trailer on it then I might buy a high torque servo.
buzzy16
03-14-2013, 09:12 PM
You could always use the small servo to power the 5th wheel.
Chris
Yes I was thinking that but for now I cant be bothered trying to work out how to do it, so I put my traxxas slash back together ( which is where the servo was from)
heres a look at the steering and gear servo's, not the best angle but its hard to get an undercarriage shot.

ad this is what i'm putting on the deck once I get the back box all sorted out and mounted.

so I'v been abit busy today on the truck, I have put the first part of the deck plate on and made up a mount for the fifth wheel servo, it got the better of me so I pulled my slash apart again to use the servo. unfortunately the stock fifth wheel rod isn't long enough so I'v ordered a 300mm rod which will probably take a couple of weeks to get here.
here's the deck plate.

April 3rd (So says UPS) - - so 10 days and counting..........
Buzzy - the makers for servo bits make a charge plug holder - like these
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXH456&P=ML
I suggest something like them
and there is one for the Deans plugs too - but it is fairly new on the market ...
- i founf this on a google search

thanks izzy, but according to tracking it's already in Australia, so it would be sad if it took 4 days to get to Australia then another 5 to get to my place, so fingers crossed.
and thanks for the brackets.

Yes, it was well worth the wait, and abit of fun and experience fixing it.
Started polishing the trailer yesterday, took me about 1.5 hours to polish one side, and it still isn't a perfect polish.

So I haven't been active very much in the past few months but I'v almost finished my truck, I got my plugs into the deck plate and i'm currently polishing the trailer up.
