Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three
 

Well, I took a brake for a while, sold off just about everything I had built but my Triple three Izzy toy hauler. So I decided to build a new tractor to pull it around with. Seems not many guys liking the Cascadia but since my brother drives one I thought I'd build one. Stretched it a bit, added a axle, painted to match my trailer and added a few LED's. Trailer has it's own reciever and battery, both trailer and tractor are bound together.

Just made up some styrene rear fenders, still need to paint em to complete.

I like the matching paint, and when the rear fenders are painted that will be the cats meow. You did the Cascadia proud. this is a beautiful combo.

Keith I hate the cascadia, but you did an outstanding job and did what I thought no one could do...make a cascadia look kool. Great job man.

Re: Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three
 

the only thing i can say is: :jaw: dude i am with you on the Cascadia. but dam you nailed it.:cool:

Re: Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three
 

We all remember what use to haul this trailer. I think you did a great job in creating another look that is great and doesn't compete with the old set up, something all it's own:cool:
Great to see ya back Keith. The hobby can't afford to lose people like you! :)

Re: Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three

Re: Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three
 

Thanks Nick, like I said my little brother drives one so I figured I'd throw a twist on one and see how it came out.


Thanks Hippy, appreciate it.


Mario, I really appreciate your kind words.

Thanks Tracy.

Thanks Bruce.

Re: Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three
 

Looks great, Keith.

For a man who sounded like he was getting out of the hobby, I'm glad you found a reason to stay.

Ed

Re: Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three
 

i check this thread out more than once because i can't believe how well this cascadia turned out ...totally outstanding ,like i stated before ,i am not a huge fan of these trucks in real or r/c but wow the colours are like wow and the light show would give any real truck at the truck shows a run for the money:jaw:

Re: Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three
 

It's great to see you put the naysayers on the back of their heels & make them eat their words that this couldn't be pretty trk to build on. :D Well done Keith. :cool:

Re: Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three

Re: Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three
 

Keith that thing would look sick with IHB Freightliner wheels with the emblems up on anges like I had on my red coe, but that truck looks awesome as is but I can never leave anything alone lol.

Re: Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three
 

Love the finish,paint job just like in the show room. It was your truck that inspired me to build one as well.

Re: Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three
 

I think the combo looks fantastic. Your paint work is awesome - how the LEDs reflect us really cool.

Izzy

Re: Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three
 

Beautiful truck , the paint is fantastic and love the shop

Re: Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three
 

OUTSTANDING!!! The addition of the rear fenders just finishes off another GREAT build. Color combo is perfect. Glad you decided to stay in the hobby.

Re: Back at it - Cascadia Tri Axle - Triple three
 

SUPER Job!! Like Lynn said, color combo is awesome.
