Volvo A40F

On the front axle and gearbox...
- flip the axle over so the input is at the front - may still have a problem with getting the drive to the rear though (not to mention if it goes backward).
- run the drop box in the rear, requires two drive shafts across the articulation joint.
not very scale options... but if you get pushed...

I am seriously jealous of the work completed to date... wish I had the skills, tools and time to do it. :-)

Cheers,

I will try to keep it as scale as possible, so no flipping axles just yet

I made some progress with the front frame and also got the frame link bearing housing machined.

I started to make the articulated joint or rear hitch as Volvo calls the part. I will make it in steel and in one peace. It will be quite complex part to machine, will see how it turns out
