New Grand Hauler Stretch

[wayles]

Finally! I was able to get pictures to post!

Thanks for the kind comments.

I still have to add the visor, some flashing lights, rear fenders (on order) and a bunch of miscellaneous small items. I also have to finish the driveline. I'm going to use a 4:1 reduction box to slow this truck down to a more normal speed. I used a 54 turn motor on my King Hauler and it's still way too fast.

Once I get all that done, I'll have to save up to get a multi function unit and get it installed. I suspect this will take quite a bit of time because I will probably have to lengthen all the wires for the lights due to the truck's length. I've never soldered such small delicate wires before, so this should be a good learning exercise.

I'll keep you posted as I proceed.

Here are some of the pictures taken when I extended the sleeper. Thought maybe you would be interested in seeing them.

The color I used was Tamiya Chrome Yellow with Tamiya Pearl Clear over it.
