i just bought a Bruder dump truck on a rolling king hauler chassis for my 5 year old son and the guy had this rear frame drop on the dump? I suppose its on another tamiya tractor i dont know. But i had to have it! I cut the frameabout a inch off and used the rear shock hole to hold it on with a self tapping tamiya screw. luckly the holes lined up perfect for this mod.
