Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Great pictures Reg! Very realistic looking. It looks like you had some great weather to enjoy. I don't even see any snow. How is that possible, with you being in Canada?

Re: Rckcrwlr's Repurposed "Desert Hauler"
Did you ordered the correct rear axle? RC Channel makes a set for the semi trucks. It looks like you bought one for the scale 4x4 pickup trucks. That might be why it's so much wider.

Man, that dump box turned out so awesome. Maybe if I ever finish a truck, I'll order a tub from you, for a trailer! I think this is your best looking dump box design yet!

Out of all those motors, the 55 turn should be the fastest, but the 80 turn should have the most torque. Why doesn't it? There could be lots of reasons, but motors are not all created equal. ...
