Test fitted the servo box from a MAN 8x8 truck. It is only held on with one screw at the moment.

Re: 90 ton 1/14 metal excavator scratch build w/embedded PC

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Before I forget, the support for the rear locking mechanism of the TGX is not replaced by a part in the electronic package. It becomes part of it. Anyway, good of Christian to point that out, if it...

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Hi Chris, yes, the amount of detail on these Trilex wheels is unbelievable, as is the fit and finish. And yes, eventually the frame etc. will be painted red. The rear fenders will go in black but I...
