It's been a while since I did anything with this, couldent decide how i want it.
After a lot of thinking i decide to make the frame longer, made it to a 6x4 and put a 12V TruckPuller motor in it so i can run it on 3S LiPo :D

So finally time for a real update on this truck. I decided to make it a light heavy hauler.

First is the cab mount, used the parts from the MAN TGX.

Made an adapter for the bumper, three pieces of 5mm/0.2in styrene and it got into right position.

So here is the cab on it's right place with the right parts for the first time.
