Is that yellow Peterbilt the same one on youtube, with a nicely polished and painted Cat V-8 in it? I just saw a video of it tonight.

Yeah forget train horns, the next thing is insanely loud turn signals!
Do you have a link to that video? All my youtube favourites are videos of trucks!

Hey Tony glad you like it. I used some tiny hinges I got at an rc plane shop. Then I cut them down some more and fitted them with 1mm bolts. I drilled and tapped the top edge of the box bumper, man that was tricky. Snapped a tap in the hole but luckily had another.
I haven't screwed the servo horn in so it keeps popping off if I hit stuff. I may leave it that way to save anything else breaking!
I was lucky with the speed of it, it's just a cheap servo so not all that fast.

I really looks awesome. The stance, length, everything look spot on. keep up the good work. |
Thanks Mike! Appreciate the kind words. I'm not 100% happy with the stance, I'm gonna drop the rear a little more. I will definitely not be using the kit mirrors! Haven't quite worked out what I'll be using but I have an idea on how they will be mounted now I have found a local supplier of minuscule hardware.

Thanks, do you mean the low profile tyres? Cos those rims will be going soon when I fit Steve's super aluminium rims!
