looking good. a suggestion is to add as much weight as you can so the blade and spikes dont dig in and stop it. Also rethink those plastic drive shafts. My experience with them in my Mack 6 wheel end dump lasted less than 1 battery. Just speaking from my experince. I have the Disruptor trans and I twisted it in half when I loaded my truck up and went off roading with it.

keep the pics coming!

Thanks for the advice.

I did add two lead strips to each wheel and also a lead piece that once served as soft jaw for a vice. Its pretty heavy now.

The shafts will be replaced as they break or upgraded as funds allow.

Your Disruptor trans twisted in half???? (I might need to rethink the trans now!)

Sorry ....i did not write that correctly....the combo of heavy loads and a big reduction with the disruptor twisted my plastic driveshaft In half. The disruptor is a beast.

OK, cool. New shafts being ordered asap.

Center caps from the road wheels of a Heng Long Bulldog tank fit perfectly and will be tacked on with a tiny dab of CA after wheels are installed.
