Wow, I like that. Very clean chassis, and well thought out plan. Your drawings look great too. I've never really seen anyone plan a truck build with drawings like that. What kind of transmission are you going to run? Modified Tamiya semi rear ends for the driven steer axles?

Using high-tork, low rpm geared motor, the same one I use for my RC Excav..for heavy Excav, i got hyd rotor/motor already..will replace that later.. and transfer case from RC4WD below...

Hi there, sorry for late reply, kindda stuck on other side of the world...

I'm customizing std TAMIYA axle, and convert them to steering axle by joining the readymade drive shaft to axle line. I copied the same method that a guy from German, trying to find the thread here, later.

And now, after some times, i'd managed to complete the build. The first trial bucket that i posted before was SST using bending machines, while final one is the Al bucket...

Nice clean build. I like the hydraulics, where did you get the cylinders from?
