Thanks guys. It's still a work in progress specially with the addition of the SS-tronix equipment. Didn't get the hidden servo done today but hopefully tomorrow.

rctrucker2, you would be correct. On the lead trailer I used the storage box from the Tamiya reefer. I wanted something to fill the void in between the landing gear and the axles. I was going to use a couple of Knight Hauler MFU control boxes but they just weren't big enough to fill the void nicely. Also with the reefer storage box it hides the battery and switch for the motorized legs so makes a clean look. Now with the addition of all the SS-tronix stuff it will be full of all the boards I will need for the lights, motorized landing gear and the ability to unhook from the trailing trailer and hide everything nicely. And with ordering all the parts trees for the storage box the extra parts allowed me to build the spare tire carrier too so I mounted that on the trailing trailer to fill the void on that trailer. One thing I wish Tamiya would've done was to actually mold this stuff in black rather then white and don't understand why they didn't since in the manual they tell you to paint the stuff black anyways.

Ok been a while since I've updated this with some good pics. A few of use got together yesterday and I made sure I snapped a few of the finished Cascadia. I've done a few things since the last update. I put in a hidden servo for the 5th wheel, had to replace the MFU-03 with a new one since the original one died on me for no reason but it's going back to Tamiya and will hopefully be replaced. The cattle trailer is 1985 Kenworth's and looks pretty good hooked to the Cascadia.

Thanks guys. The paint does look good in pics but not up close in my opinion. lol.

Mario, all the SS-tronix stuff I have is installed but still waiting on the rest to complete the trailers. But tractor is good to go.
