Man, that truck is sweet. The detail on the side of the truck bed is just killer, nice clean lines.

Nicely done!! I've wanted a wrecker for a long time, slowly collecting parts. I enjoyed this build. Keep up the good work.

Thank you guys. A big question: the rig drives nicely, but the turn radius is big, which is ok taking in account the length of the truck,how ever, under load even with a light tow, the turning radius is abnormally huge. As a point of information, the two rear axles are locked.
Thank you.

Re: WRECKER
 
Would only 1 locked axle work for you?

Add more weight to the front end. Things like, thicker steel bumper, ballast hidden in the frame, shot filled steer tires.

Looks great Kaptain! Are those the xtra speed wheels from RcMart? I just ordered a set. Did you polish them more? Keep up the great work!

Thank you.

The rears being locked combined with the rear suspension allowing weight to come off the steer will cause this, your options are add lots of weight to the front end or talk to Reg, RCP57, about his solid rear suspension peices to replace the springs.

It worked! Added a pound of led shot to the front of the truck and had dramatic improvement. Need my body Wayne to come over and shoot the video.
