Hi,

I have been a member here for a couple of months now looking in and taking onboard the wealth of information here along with enjoying some of the fantastic build projects you have going on.
I am new to RC Trucks but have three tanks and have in the past also built and flown some Planes.
I am currently embarking on a project with the Tamiya Scania R620 and the Reefer trailer, MFC-03, powered legs and trailer lighting. i am also planning on adding the Sussie set as well so I don't have the grey tamiya cable between the truck and trailer.
I have made a small start on the trailer so far, wading through the multitude of parts and screws.:o
I use a Spektrum DX6i for my tanks so I am looking forward to some "fun" working out the wiring and programming for use with the truck setup.

Best Regards

Keith.

to make finding the right screws etc easier, get a cupcake tin and empty each bag into a different "cup" and label them. Makes it heaps easier

also welcome

Welcome Keith that's a good tip twowheeldan
I use labelled zip lock bags to keep the screws in the correct order

I don't know about using a cupcake tin and I dispose of my bags just because bags are usually a bad idea to keep parts in. I use small part organizers. You can purchase one at your local hardware store. They're available in several different styles; portable/stationary, plastic/metal, open/sealable. Take your pick to whatever fits your work environment. It's what I've used for over the past decade and I know right where all my hardware is.

I like to use tackle boxes. They're inexpensive and hold a lot of supplies.
Available at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, and most other stores.
