February 20, 201213 yr Great looking truck, i'm impressed with the resembles to the real one. Excellent job.
February 20, 201213 yr This one really caught my eye as well; it looks superb, but I would love to see what's under the bricks - I've always struggled with decent working suspension for trucks of this scale, and this looks like it works really well. Richard.
February 20, 201213 yr The only thing I do not like are the sticker headlights, otherwise it is close to perfect.
February 22, 201213 yr Unbelievable!!! Awesome job!!! Thanks! I will post some photos of the under structure soon. Regards Marco
February 22, 201213 yr Great truck, nice model team detail and functionality too! The only thing I do not like are the sticker headlights, otherwise it is close to perfect. Me too! I think a brick built solution would look a lot better, maybe with pf lights... But still, great model! Edited February 22, 201213 yr by Sam42
February 25, 201213 yr Here some photos of the front and rear axles, but the model got some small updates the days after these photos were taken... http://s7.postimage.org/rtwig0naz/resized_DSC02302.jpg http://s17.postimage.org/7m12d2qwf/resized_DSC02308.jpg http://s7.postimage.org/xbtphk7wb/resized_DSC02345.jpg
February 25, 201213 yr Those pictures look cool. How did you attach the u-joint without the axle slipping off if it traveled to far? tim
December 30, 201212 yr Sorry for the super-late answer! The center of the u-joint is exactly in line with the pins of the suspensions. So there is no problem of slipping off.
