Heh you are a building beast there silvio!

ok here is my new challenge.....

floor.


floor in cab perfect.


floor on frame stock KH tranny NOt soo muchh..


Floor up cab happy, tranny happy, but electronics not happy..


move tranny backwards, cab is very happy..electronics very happy..Headache rack? not happy...







I need help guys, anyone know a good tranny I could use that will go absolutely
below the rails? I could cut the floor n make the stock tranny work, but then that
means the battery tray will be of no use and everything is gonna be flying around
inside there not cool

if anyone knwos a good tranny alternative please let me know thank you in advance

You can run a R2 I run them in my trucks that dont have much room in them. or the buyer could switch to lipo and have plenty of room..

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Here I set it al little higher then i needed too but you can mount it lower.

[tc1cat]

I agree with Paul on this. Use an R2. Great tranny and very compact. I have them in 2 of my trucks. 1 is mounted to the floor of the cab. Lots of room for everything then.

coool thanks guys I'll give it a shot

[skl1cent]

ok guys welp took some advice cut down the floor n flipped, works like a charm





I moved the front wheels up a bit, tilted the mount there now I have to modify that cross member to put a bolt n nut instead of screw to hold the mount in that position giving me a little bit more room, what happened b4 is I couldnt mount the little side step, the wheel was a little bit too bad it would hit the side step when turning very bad, so now moved up works greatt!



and here is what she looks like with a trailer!






more to come soon

Welp first light installed now as you guys can see the body isnt that smooth right now as well,
so I still have alot of sand work to be done LOL but once its complete its gonna be top notch
this is still my rough draft I would say

[skl1cent]

now both lights are in




I noticed the gap was too big btween the little air intake and the grill top so I raised it up much bettter now

[BRICKNICK]

That freight shaker is looking good, but what's the other chassis for? Keep up the nice looking cab over build.

[skl1cent]

the other chasis heheheheh it will be another freightliner, the one Reeve's trucking all started with another challenge for me!


these trucks will be awesomeeeeeeee!! i cant wait to get onto that 79 it'll be great as u see how much attention I already pay to detail LOL both of these trucks will be top notch im getting better n better at this

[BRICKNICK]

I'm a huge fan of the old cab overs such as the 70-85 k100s, Pete 350 + 352, freightliners. Can't wait to see the 79.

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Looking great man keep up the good work..

[skl1cent]

thanks guys and yea I love old COE's I think of all the freighliners are probably my very favorites hence y I started this build in the first place LOL I didnt know some1 would want to buy it and turn it into a different truck hehe which means I willl build another one for myself once I am finished LOL

my original plan was to build it a the wrecker from terminator 2 that black one from the chase

from here
