Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

[Prop Shaft]

2-m2.5 screws fastening each cab hinge to the bumper. With only about 3 to 4 mm of thread actually holding the hinges on, i was concerned about them being strong enough. So i tapped them all the way through and used longer scale hardware.

This is what it looked like from the front prior to tapping

New screws bolting on the hinges

From the front

After scale hardware added to the grill

Started mocking up a fix for the front wheel scrub issue with the coil over


Offset link ends added. This stops them from hitting the axle under compression, i just wish i could find some metal ones.

Full lock and compression, and no binding! Tomorrow I'll replace the styrene with aluminum and make them look presentable.
