Capacity yard spotter
Been wanting to do a yard truck for some time now.Gonna use a R2 transmission for the needed space.Hoping to use a Firgelli for the lift on the fifth wheel. Heres what I have so far. [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]

Re: Capacity yard spotter
Very cool did you build the cab? It really looks the part. Will it have a servo controlled 5th wheel?

Re: Capacity yard spotter
Awesome start. Obviously, you have been planning this a while, since the cab is not only assembled but has a killer weathered paint job.
Waiting to see the lift mechanism. Ken

Re: Capacity yard spotter
I was going to say cable control or if the servo can ride with the lift it would work...

Re: Capacity yard spotter
It's actually funny because I myself have been working on a release on a replica ottawa switcher truck... And it wouldn't work because the fifth wheel needs to pivot and if a linkage is attached to it, it still don't work.... I have a few other ideas I'm going to go with myself.... If you don't yet, follow me on Facebook to see the kit come together..... Good job so far Fred...
