Re: Kenworth Heavy Recovery Rotator
 

The wheels are from ihbilder click here for his store the rear tires are fulda cross forces and the fronts are Tamiya super singles.

Re: Kenworth Heavy Recovery Rotator
 

It is on the back burner till I get the parts to do the build right. Every part of this truck will work from the radio.

Re: Kenworth Heavy Recovery Rotator
 

Ok back to working on this truck and I was not happy with the axle spacing so it is now 7in longer for a total length of 41in. I now have it drivable and the bed started so I can lay out the mechanicals for the boom and stinger. Here are the update pics and I hope to have the boom mounted by next weekend.
