Re: Tonka Conversion
Ok boys. settle down, or take it outside the forum!
I've been searching ebay for construction materials, and some of the basic parts I'll need for the build. I found some Tamiya TAM9808205 leaf springs, that look similar to those Scott used. I still need to find out what the thread size is on the 1/18 T-Rex Micro Rear Straight Axle is at RD4WD. Next I'll have to find a front axle. |

Re: Tonka Conversion
That it is, and still completely static!
Over the weekend, I ordered some aluminum channel, and material for the cross members. I've been working on preliminary CAD drawings for the mounting of servos, motors, and lights for the trailer. That will keep me busy for quite a while, based on the number devices I'm looking at. At the same time, I would like to get the truck conversion completed. My plan is to use as many used parts as I can. Right now, I'd to locate a motor, transmission, and reducer for the truck. If anyone has these, and is willing to part with them, please PM me. Rob |

Re: Tonka Conversion
Nice idea for an old school build. Can't wait to see it working.

Re: Tonka Conversion
Sorry to be 'that guy' and drag up old stuff... i like fire trucks and 'ruining' old toys by making them awesome.
Did this Ladder ever get any farther? What were you planning to run for axles? |
