Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Oh dear, today was the "comedy of errors"

No clue what happened. Must be getting old.

Next step, as said, the front of the cab.

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Hi Brel, one of the reasons I ended up buying this kit was the amount of bits and pieces. For me the more the merrier. As for color ... I couldn't make up...

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

I was lucky that to replace the fried servo I did not need to take the whole contraption out of the frame. Was a bit tight, but succeeded in doing it without major surgery. Before I replaced the...

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Spend time sorting out the settings. Lucky the RC is pre-programmed by ScaleART for their models. Saves a lot of time. Just pick the variation you want and you got the basic settings.
