Default Re: Structo dumptruck conversion

So what's the most important part for a DUMP truck to have?

Yeah, you'd really think so...


But instead of getting that part so it can DUMP: i made light mounts, hacked servo board so the lights can be activated from the tx, made a trailer hitch, started working on a trailer, and made the steering wheel i'd thrown in there look less like a round servo horn.

Other than softening the rear suspension a little by pulling the smallest helper spring, i haven't done much of the planned mods.

Thinking i may try adding Plastidip to the tires to see if it helps with the traction situation. I knocked more rust off the hubcaps, but didn't try for too shiny, this trucks not about that life.
