Nice work with the extra details! The steering wheel is pretty cool. Now I guess you need a driver, so he can bounce up and down in the seat! I've seen guys use action figures with loose arms, so their hands can be on the steering wheel, and move, as it turns. Or no arms, really....just a long sleeved shift with some hands on the end of the sleeves, so there is no resistance to the steering wheel turning. Some cotton 'stuffing' so the sleeves look full and don't collapse. What do you say?

The micro servo for the steering is a great and simple set up. I may have to try that on a future build

If you decide to put a driver in the seat Reg, make sure he's got a bush jacket on and an old shiny silver logger hard hat. Lol

Maybe one of the guys on the forum who have 3D printers could make you a driver?

Didn't you guys know? This truck is like a new Ford Focus...It parks itself!

All great ideas and it will probably get a wiggley armed driver in the fall.
