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

Hi Christian, might be like swimming, but getting back into this after 1.5 years is a bit daunting to say the least. Also getting to the point where the electronics come into play ... not my...

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

So slowly getting back up and running on the truck, and just spend about one hour scratching my head and trying to remember where I had put all the bits and pieces. Not the best packing / unpacking...

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

Hi Truckmaker, the cats were pleased as can be when the finally made it here, the poor critters had a rough time of it. Took them a while to get used to the colder weather though, but by now they...

Hi Christian,

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

Thanks Tracy

The move will be fine - I hope - the worst is over, the packing and sorting what to take and what to give away ... Once reasonably settled in, the build will continue :-) ... being...

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

So the trucks left our home yesterday ... they are in the white boxes liberally plastered with fragile stickers and well padded inside with foam and bubble wrap.

Might be 6 - 8 weeks before I see...

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

Hi folks, my wife had a "life altering" medical problem. Lucky for her (and me of course) things worked out. However there is no guarantee she will not go through the same again. Since we live on an...

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

Found a bit of time today, so a short update.

Been messing with the IR wire/led.

Stuffed wire in some red heat shrink and found a little rubber O-ring in the box of spare plumbing stuff. The...

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

@liftmys10 & Rimrock ... The detail on the parts is what makes it worth while to take the close up pictures. As for the amount of screws ... it's like an addiction really ... just trying to pace...

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

Re-installed the right rear fender today. (Expected to do both, but more time consuming/fiddly than I thought)

First attach the centre support. Had to be very careful not to scratch the paint

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

Redoing the rear lights was not as big a job as I thought. Took longer to take fenders off. Came down to a simple bit of grinding and drilling two holes.

So here a trial fit after doing one...

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

Did the 2 servos today. Decided to go for the Robbe for the first rear axle and a Hitec for the 2nd rear axle. Will keep the extra Robbe ones I got for a next project that would need servos in tight...

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

Hi Hofabooz, those servos wouldn't be such a big problem if I could just pop out to the nearest shop and get some extras ... now there is this long wait between ordering and receiving them, causing...

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

Been a while with an update ...partly because I've been without computer for 10 days but mostly because lack of time.

So after a 2 week wait the new servo for the rear diffs arrived. I filed off...

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

Hi Liftmys10, If we could still get the FS 70 MG servos from Robbe it would be a bit easier. Those are about 1mm less wide and 2 mm less high. But sadly enough Robbe had to close the books and the...

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

Well got the fuel tank off and the servo out. Checked servo, same as the other one. I connected the electric motor of the servo directly to a 5 volt battery, and no go, so seems like the little motor...

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

Thought about Savoy, have those in the CAPO truck. Played with the idea to get one out of there, but too much work taking the thing apart. Also not sure about the fit and a tad too lazy to check the...

Hi Thomas, indeed there is an English menu, but I got one of the first ones out of the company - it even came without manual. I have the English software (you can download it from their website) but...
