Finally posting pictures of a project in-process. I have two, this truck in 1:14 scale and a Komatsu D65EX-15 dozer in 1:10 scale. The truck is going faster because I don't have to build an entire undercarriage. This truck is unique cause it is 4-wheel drive, rigid frame, 50-ton, with dual tires all around. I've finished rear axle area and am working on the cab. Front axle is next.
The 1:1 Truck -actually a Payhauler Corp 350C, but close enough.
Front frame is dropped and narrowed. Aluminum "soldered" the modified channel to shape.
Rear cross-member
Frame and axle layout
Rear spring bracket & hydraulic cylinder mount
Rear frame with spring brackets
Rear springs -main and helpers
