as always , nice work Izzy
I noticed here a problem on the suspension photo from our UK trucker Brel Brel , do I see this correct and you use a solid drive-shaft ( no length-adjustment ) instead of the original dog-bone for your rear axles ? You can not do that , you gone put your suspension in a bind . If you want to do this you need to replace the lower control-arms from at least one axle and replace them with something what has a variable length , like a shock check out this link here , http://www.customrcmodels.com/Trucks/new_6wd_project.htm it shows one of my 6WD builds and pay close attention to the photos how I did the rear-axle suspension ![]() Willy CustomRCmodels

Great start! The fenders are really nice. We never see many photos of them, in a raw state, or slightly cleaned up and sanded. It's the best way to make a King Hauler a Peterbilt. Looking forward to this project!

Willy, I believe that is a rc4wd shaft in-between the axles and it has a slip yoke in it. Don't quote me on that, but it looks just like the one I looked at yesterday on the rc4wd website and it says it can be used for the semis

Guess you are right , that could be it , since by the dimensions they list there it should fit/work . Good find ! Must be a new item …guess I need to get me a set and check it out . I am wondering how it’s done , if it can fall apart when you excide these 50mm length ? What irritates me on the UK-trucker photo is that the u-joints are lined up so strange , not even , not 90 degrees offset , just a few degrees offset
