That is awesome! Did you do a build thread on that lowboy? Id love to see how you made it. What are the demensions on it? Did you use a servo or hydraulics? Either way sweet builds!

How much weight could your neck lift off the floor?

Hi, thanks for the comments ...yes there is a thread for the build here's the link ...

the neck will lift at least 10kg as ive tried that and it did it with ease, it has a 20kg servo running a screwdrive so should lift quite a bit

Love the truck and really like the automatic disconnecting goose neck that throws it over the top.

the one i got i asked them to make it all yellow, as you will see when you look there is a couple that you can decide on what colour you require
Hope This Helps
