Zil157 / Studebaker US6. 1/16

[frizzen]

One of our new members got a hold of me for some help with setting up a truck he'd ordered.

This is a JJRC Q60, a 6x6 that seems to be based on a Zil-157, soviet version of a Studebaker us6.



At first glance it looks very similar to my WPL 'B1' (bobbed m35 truck).
The chassis looks same, the trans looks same, spring hangars...
The big improvement is the axles. It actually has differentials in the pumpkins, improved looks, and slightly better springs.

This is starting as a budget build. 3ch radio, 20a esc, spms401 servo. I'm not too sure where it's headed.

Plenty of upgrades are being released all the time for these jjrc and wpl trucks, and it's impressive what kinds of things people are doing with them.

Anyway, i'm sure he'll be along shortly.
