Re: Bob's Hauler
Nice looking chassis.
Only thing I would change if you want to get the scale look more right is to move the fifth wheel to above(or just slightly in front of) the middle drive axle. That is where it is mounted on the 1:1 version to get the proper weight transfer to the steering axle. I have yet to see a scale build where the fifth wheel position is correct so don't take this as criticism.
In defence of keeping farther back on a scale model, being as it would be very difficult to make a fully self equalizing rear suspension, it may work to your advantage as far as maneuverability goes as it will allow the front drive axle to skid sideways when turning.
