the drive shaft is a $11 special. if you look back in this thread i made a lift axle from some copper pipe and gorilla glue...... where i learned just how strong gorilla glue is. its a piece of 1/2" styrene tube with traxxas driveshafts glued in the ends also, i spread the drives out to scale 60" spread, and made a small driveshaft the same way.

Re: First Build - King Hauler
Nice updates, Goose! Keep'em coming. I know that's not easy this time of year. My own build has lost some momentum with summer, but nice to still see some progress. Looking at your trailer photo and your explanation of the webbing, I see exactly what you did. Nice.

Re: First Build - King Hauler
so, once upon a time, long long ago, i drew up a grill for this truck. i finally got around to sending it off to russ, and this is what i got back
now somewhere along the line my crayola crayons got mixed up and the grill came out a touch long.....i think it was the program i originally drew it up with didnt agree with the milling program. not sure what im going to do about it, but even at that, it looks alot perty-er with a grill and headlights. its hard to see without the backing i have yet to make, im thinkin some screen painted silver or black.

It should look good, help hide the spacing, and make an amazing build look just that much better. Good luck. - RCT

Re: First Build - King Hauler
You could also have the front bumper notched to fit around the bottom of the grille. Wouldn't look that out of place either. Some Kenworth trucks have such an arrangement. Your grille does look pretty nice though!
