Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

[Rakthi]

Got the rear light to work - so it survived the cats dragging it around. Checked the plug and even though I marked it when I took the plug off I swapped the + and - ...

Checked the pictures I took and then the actual wiring (without taking the cab apart) on the sound module and all according to the manual ... stumped on that one.

Still have to check the indicators and stand light on the cab.

Not a happy camper ... started to prime the oil pump and found out one of the valve servos is not responding. Must have broken a soldered joint in the extension down the line. So repairs needed.
The other servo controlling the kipping is working fine, but even after 5 minute running the pun and moving valve back and forth no movement to be seen ... lots of gurgling going on in the oil tank though.

To make things worse, the battery in the truck ran down, tried to charge it, and the on-board plug is not accessible due to the hydraulic cylinders ...



Meanwhile, got the raised exhaust up. Painted it black and have the pipe disappear under the cabin so it looks like the actual exhaust is under there somewhere



Well that will be it for a while. Until I find a way to make a 2nd plug on the battery so I can charge it, nothing much can be done.

Guess I can start on the container. The last part that needs assembling.
