Default Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Quick update. The 2 pieces to attach the hook mechanism to the frame arrived yesterday. So can now replace the ones I messed up when I had to drill out the screws after I broke of the head.



I had also ordered a complete set of street tires a) to see how the truck behaves with those and b) because I am partial to the look of them.



While I replace the tires I will also adjust the track rods of the rear axle. The wheel is not nicely centred in the fender like the other one.

First rear axle, ± centred



Last one too far back and the tire hits the fender sometimes. Think I will have to shorten the track rod about 1.5 to 2mm. While I have the fenders off I can at the same time paint those stainless screw heads black too.



Cheers

Stephan
