That screw is really smooth from the start! What thread did you use?
Those wheels you have, they not come with center caps?
Have you fashioned up any kind of tail gate lock, that's a must!

thanks Joe, no they do not come with end caps ;( but my friend is making me some there just not ready yet. and the tail gate does lock its just little different then normal

I've not been into buildning trucks (1:14) and don´t know if it´s the speed controllers that are that bad? Any idea from you guys working with those?
I know from my time modeling trains and when DCC (computer controls) decoders was introduced that they could be programmed to not make "jump starts" possible. You could programe the effect of mass into acceleration and braking (this was funny when engineer was not use to it). Some of my friends had problems with that but it was a much more prototypical way of running trains.
From videos it seems like the soundcontrols are good, the sound replicates to orgin, if it´s like trains, I don´t know. Is Cummins, Detroit, Caterpillar, Scania, Volvo ........ sound available?
On trains you can have a Farbank Morse, GE, EMD even read that 3 engine gensets was available now.

thanks I guess and sorry for my bad video I think lol not sure what you are trying to say Dan ? I wish I was a probuilder like you guys my mouth drops everytime I see a build from the you and the other pro builders on this forum I'm not in that league.
and about the jumpy driving that was me lol I was just playing around it would drive smooth if I was trying and the video was just a test. and as for a sound mfu I can't see me paying that much money for sound as cool as it is it is over priced, maybe someday.
thanks guys
