Hello all!!

Just gettin my feet wet with the rig scene, been around R/C most of my life but have always been running circles!(oval racer). Now I have become interested in these real nice trucks!
I have had a very small collection ...... starting ..
A Knight w/alum. around and the MFU.
Tamiya's flat bed w/light kit & legs.
A Globetrotter FH12 stock except bearings
A MAN TGX
A Tamiya 3-axle Reefer trailer

I am, now starting my 1st "custom" build, a R620 Scania stretched to 30" with 3 axle, single steer car hauler deck. Using Freddy for the rails and some other goodies, RC4WD for winch & drive shaft, trying to come up with a suitable lift system for the deck??? And some Knight Hauler tanks/boxes & running boards to fill in all the open space. I picked up a set of the wide fronts and a bunch of other goodies.
Now for most of ya this is no big deal, and you all have prob. seen this build b4? But being the 1st real 1 for me, I figured baby-steps was a good way to start...?
So as soon as the rails R done from Freddy then I will start mocking up all this mess and then maybe even post a pic. or 2 of my maiden build??

I am learning as I go so if any of U wanna interject, PLEASE do!!

I would appreciate the help/advise!!
