What color are you painting the body?

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

I haven't decided on a color yet. But I may have found a co-driver "figure"...

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

The Bruder figures fit really well in these.

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

Looks like it's coming along really well.

Heh, that figure has a nice figure

Got my first bruder figure the other day and Im really happy with it and it gives you the benifit of putting then any where or any position, unlike the tamiya or the verkerk ones.....

Finally ordered a three pack of servos so I can shift the transmission and have one for un-coupler servo

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4466/...f5121617_c.jpg Got my three servos today two are installed one on reserve for motorized trailer legs.

I currently have a hacked FrSky GT3C doing the radio duties. I have the Shifter servo on a three position switch and now have shift on the fly capability!

Nice! I'm liking how well it's coming together. You've been realy busy on this, to get this far in such a short time.

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

Looking great.

Got three new servos put one in for steering and another for shifting gears. The third is for when I get Motorized Trailer Legs

Mounted the Aerodynamic Wings on the body

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

Nice and bright red color.

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

I finally got all the light bulbs installed, and the truck finished. It has been a long time coming. This has to be one of the most challenging and satisfying RC builds I have ever done.

I am still working on getting the Beier USM-RC-2 system figured out. I have to make connections to the motor and get some resistors to get the LEDs working. And then I have to figure out how to package it all inside the cab!

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

That color really pops, I bet it looks even more impressive in the sun.
