Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
The trans came with a second shaft for front shifting. When I had it disassembled I swapped them out.

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
In the process of wiring lights, it dawned on me that I never shared what I'd done with the dash lights. I did pretty much what Bob from Hobby Concepts does....

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
So I hit a bit of a milestone yesterday. You see, a very daunting task that's been lingering over my head is the wiring for the lights for this truck. And that was on hold while I determine what...

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
With that narrower Lesu front axle the tires tuck waaaaay more than before. And this is shown with wheels that have much less backspacing than the ones I've been using. I would actually like to...

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
I can definitely relate to that!
So here's why I didn't bother with putting the new diff grease into the TLT front axle. Lesu locking diff with a 2.6:1 ratio. It's narrow so the tires will tuck...

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
I now have a full size servo controlling the shifter. It's so much stronger than the micro servo I tried and doesn't heat up at all. I think that issue may now be resolved....

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
Thanks so much for all the info! I just found out that the Flysky i6X (10 channel) is only $60US so I think I'm just going to get one for now. Once I'm more familiar with the ESP32 MFU I'll...

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
Hey Wombii (or anyone else in the know), I've got a basic and likely very stupid question to ask. :)
If I use the SBUS feature from a receiver, does that mean I can control many more channels than...

Oh, I wouldn't ask you to do that! I'm thinking of getting a Flysky Noble transmitter and I believe it can support 8 channels. I just want to make sure that it will be compatible with the ESP32...

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
Thank you very much! I'm really looking forward to getting the ESP32 unit working. Right now I'm researching SBUS/radio stuff. I use a Sanwa MT4-S radio setup and hoping I can make it work well...

Trying a new servo that hopefully doesn't burn out like the Tower Pros have done.

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
All done. Incidentally, the Michelin on the right from rcbrmin.com is SUPER hard. It made the Lesu feel like a crawler tire. The RCW4WD Michelin that I narrowed, however, is very soft, but with...

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
Thanks, guys! I've got a set of 30mm width wheels coming from Semi Joe. We'll see how they fit. I've done cut-n-shuts back in the day, but it's been well over 10 years. I may consider that, but...

I agree! And ideally I'd like to apply the plates to some super thin aluminum, but I just used what I had around.....for now. :)
