Mercedes Actros 2558 6x2
I started a Mercedes build for about a month ago, that old SK from Tamiya is a little to old for my taste so i bought the Actros cab from RigidRC.
Started with the chassi, just a small euro version with 2.90m/9.5ft (1:1 scale) in wheelbase. Got to have some parts. Fenders and sideskirts is all in one piece made of styrene. Light is very important, 455 LED's from LED-Switch. This week the cab came in, it is better then i have expacted. Biggest miss is this "frontplate" that is a bit straight. Lover front, that i cut some more holes in. A little paint is nice. Some aluminium parts was in the kit. Can't figure what the big "L-pieces" is for?

The cab cost 370 Euro.
http://www.rigidrc.com/shop/option-p...s-mp3-kit.html I also think its to the cab but i can't figure out where to put them, there isn't any obvious place for them i am really confused right now Well i think i just make my own mount of the cab, probably much less head scratching

Re: Mercedes Actros 2558 6x2
Lovin this build Actros, looking great already. That's a really mean looking cab, much more modern than the old Tamiya one.

I'm kinda assuming he may have a little fear of the dark? The truck does look great though.
