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

Hi Chris, since it is not that complicated to get longer chassis rails at a later date, I will keep going with the MAN as is at the moment. Once we move back to Europe and are closer to ScaleART, I...

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

Hi Chris, me thinks you are right about Prop ... the moment he sees one in person he will change scale! :)

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

Hi Sneff, during the build I thought of replacing some of the philips with model nuts, but never got around to it. Too difficult to source them here in Malaysia.

I'm stopping on the Arocs for a...

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

Yes, you are right, it would have been nice to have more if not all hex fasteners. But since the phillips screws are predominantly in areas not normally visible it is not such a big deal (personal...

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

Today appointments got cancelled and it rained so no painting the front door ... meaning I could do some stuff to the Arocs.

First replace the bits I mucked up drilling out the screws. A bit of a...

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

Thank you Christian! If we had to wait till I receive the updated parts and find the time to install it, would have taken forever :)

Interesting to see how it fits/hooks to the trailer too! Always...

Hi all, a couple of days ago I noticed that Christian (Newcomer_2) posted the pictures of the updated cross brace ScaleART released for the container on a German site. Rather than giving you the link...

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

Hi Tracy, it is from the Trilex series from Scaleart. They have the 6-hole version (which I ordered) and the more modern 10-hole version. Both are metal casts.

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

OK guys, I'll admit, I'm flattered, but I wouldn't nominate for "build" of the year though ... "assembly thread" would be more appropriate since I didn't really "build" this one.

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

Had the truck out in the garden this afternoon. Good thing I went for 8x8. Had to use the diff locks a couple of times to get him to move. I also found out that I had never torqued the 2 nuts holding...

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

Part 2

ScaleART left some indents to have access to the nuts going on the eyebolts, but even if I wanted to use M2 model nuts, I couldn't get the tool in there. So was a bit of a challenge, but...
