Things are not going well for this project...And the ECMT Show is on the 15th...

Had to change out my axle...there is just no way to make it look right with the wider stance... (anyone wanna buy an awesome, weathered RC Channel axle)



Also have to order new tires. The one's I bought didn't work with the wheels I have...hope to have them by the weekend.

Arrrrrgh!!!!

Don't look now but I believe you have your axles in backwards as the input shaft off of your rear diff is now pointing toward the trailer.

Did you ordered the correct rear axle? RC Channel makes a set for the semi trucks. It looks like you bought one for the scale 4x4 pickup trucks. That might be why it's so much wider.

Well...it's moving along very slowly.

Mock-up looks good with shortened fuel tank and wheels.

I want to thank MAK Coatings for PCing the wheels, chassis and axle (that I'm not using...)





Hope to get some wearing on it before the ECMT Show this weekend.
