Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
I knew I'd want custom plates for this truck and rather than spend money on some custom ones, I decided to try my hand at making some. Being 1/14th scale, they're only about 1" long so it won't be...

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
Thanks!!
I doubt they're tempered and I didn't temper them myself. They're just stock F350 springs and yeah, it was a pain to drill through them. :(
So we got a bit of snow on Sunday here...

Re: Rear Suspension Options?
Thanks, but not looking for a stiffer ride. Hoping that the other options won't offer less travel/articulation. I found my answer and an order has been placed.

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
My 4:1 RC4WD gear reduction showed up so I got it hooked up with the Lesu trans and the HH 80t motor. I was pleased to see how short the overall length of the GRU is, but was surprised to see so few...

The Lesu 3 speed AWD trans showed up. It's aluminum and pretty heavy! Comes with two sets of mounts (one higher and one lower), but the holes don't line up with the width of the Tamiya rails. ...

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
Nice rig your boy has there! That's the exact axle and locker combo I ran for years. With 35s it was great, but with the 37s I'd have preferred 5.13s. After wheeling the Jeep since '07 I decided...

Lesu Transmission with GRU?
