Very nice fabrication! That is one solid looking truck!

Thank you.

Making the front axle was much more complicated as the rear axle.
Due to the great weight i need a real brake. the esc hillbreak wasn't enough to hold the little monster. The motors in the rear axle prohibit any break in them.
Ergo the front axles must have breaks. The original has drum brakes. Consequently I plan my first drum brake in my life. That was a real exciting phase of the build.

The axles body is from stainless 30mmx3 to hold the steering cylinder, three links and the panhard. The space looks wide but, as usual, at least I've to fight for every mm.
The c hubs are made from aluminium.
All sizes and shapes, except the hydraulic cylinder, are scale.



the c-hubs gets 3° tilt to prevent understeering














Flanges are from 4mm stainless....


....or some more mm


Links done
