New Scania Build

[Lil Giants]

I've always found the appearance of these Scanias to be quite appealing Kent, lots of character within its curves.

What's the ratio in that gearhead? The speed be like a casual walk?

You've peaked my curiosity

This truck might have a little different activity than just going to meets.

...such as what?

Joe, as purchased this motor is 313 rpm, 27:1 ratio. Now with me changing the motor I’m not sure if that changes those numbers or not, never really thought about it. They come in 13 different rpm’s available from 12 to 1621. I’ve tried 3 of them. The reason I change the motors was simply an experiment. The motors that come with them are 12v, I run 7.2v and they seemed a little lethargic so I thought why not try a stock Tamiya can or crawler motor. It will be inter resting to see how this one does with the 35 turn.
I’m hoping we get the truck rodeo going again at our Lebanon meet, it would be a good chassis for that and some things going on at work could get interesting since I work for Navistar.
