Just Another Peterbilt......Half Breed.

[Claus]

Kind of an update. I haven't given up but things have been moving slow. I bought some Air Breathers, Front Bumper and Wheels from Steve. I love the wheels so much but was not happy with the ride height at all, way high in the front. That lead to me removing the driven axle up front and installing an Integy front axle kit. When moving the axle forward to a correct Petebilt location and trying keep the shifting and steering servos in their stock location there just really isn't enough room for a driven axle without going really high and kind of ugly. There was an issue with mounting the front bumper so it is back at Steve's shop, I'm confident He will get it sorted out for me. I also put the Tamiya 3 speed back in it for now, it has an aluminum case, brass gears and stainless synchronizers topped of with the heatsink end caps with are mostly just for looks. If I stay with this transmission I will be installing a gear reduction also.
