Re: Scania airport fire truck
Doing my best. Fortunately, most of the flaws don't show up well in the photos
Hit a roablock for a few days. I had so much lovely articulation in the rear, but never thought to check with the rear dog bone. Turns out that doesn't like articulation at all, so it kept falling out or binding. I found out that I also couldn't easily replace it with a proper drive shaft, because it's so tight and the 45-55mm type that would fit would end up stretching too far and disconnect. The only way I could find was to limit the travel enough by mounting the stock shocks. They prevent the wheel from dropping too far, but there will be a lot of force trying to pull them apart.
Started wiring everything up and final assembly (hopefully).
Didn't double check the switches when I soldered the last time, so they got mounted upside-down. Got a chance to turn them around after painting, so now USB power is selected by flipping them down towards the USB port.
Floor for the cab interior.
