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

Yes Christian, I see where this is going, first 2 more containers, then the trailer, then a 2nd truck ...

Had the truck out in the garden this afternoon. Good thing I went for 8x8. Had to use the diff locks a couple of times to get him to move. I also found out that I had never torqued the 2 nuts holding the wheels onto the first rear axle An interesting moment.

One thing for sure, third gear is way too fast for me.



Tried unloading the container, but it got stuck in the grass. Need a smoother surface for that exercise. Meanwhile I can pretend to unload like this.



Without the side panels



And last picture, containing all the areas that needed some filing.
The supports for the rollers could be a bit bigger so there would be no need to elongate the holes in it as to get the pin through it.

You can also see how the long eyebolt attaches. (and it looks like I will need a bigger washer there)
