Re: New RC trucker from the UK

Re: Topcad replacement front axles

Topcad replacement front axles

Re: New RC trucker from the UK

Re: New RC trucker from the UK

Thanks Bo.

I think I've sussed out my steering lock, it's just the play I need sorting out. I've been looking around the web tonight and have seen that I wasn't anywhere close to inventing the...

Re: New RC trucker from the UK

To illustrate my point, I've taken and labelled a couple pics.

This first image is a stock truck steering linkage, in this case from a MAN 4x2 truck. As you can see, there are several points along...
