Re: CROSS RC UC6 6x6 Ural Truck

Hi. Working on mine, so am very interested in the rear suspension stuff you spoke of. Not bothered about the metal ball joints, links or steering mod (the difference is very marginal). Are these up...

Re: Mercedes Benz LPS 1418

No worries. I have yet to make the second fender :rolleyes:



Ha ha you need to look closer. Way too many mistakes, shortcuts and sloppy stuff. Curated photos rock :cool: Thanks though.

Re: Mercedes Benz LPS 1418

Re: Mercedes Benz LPS 1418

First, thank you! Seond, thank you! :-) Did wonder. Making a mold is going to be interesting. Wood, as you say, makes sense. Will give that a try. My Father in law said he used to bend plastic with...

Re: Mercedes Benz LPS 1418

The sides of the grill are officially back in. Need to see how much space I have for a latch for the main piece, so stuck the makings of a dashboard in there with magnets.

Re: Mercedes Benz LPS 1418

Lots of big steps coming so rather than get started I played with ride height last night. Because I know what this thing is going to be now.

Re: Mercedes Benz LPS 1418

Thanks! The body panels are 2mm thick. The remaining parts are a mix of 2mm, 1mm and 0.75mm, depending on what I'm making. The curvy part at the front, for instance, has two layers of styrene - the...

Re: Mercedes Benz LPS 1418

Been working like crazy on this thing without much to show. Most of it was working back the ribbing and trying out different ideas for door hinges and pillars. Also managed to assemble the grill...

Re: Hi from London

Thank you! You're right. A year ago I thought two trucks would do - the Tamiya, and the Vaterra Ascender which would host any scratch builds I might do. I now have 7 rigs and 9 bodies!!



Thanks...

Hi from London

Found this forum while researching my Mercedes build.

I'm new to RC. Sort of. Back in 1982 I discovered toy porn in the form of a Tamiya catalogue I got my hands on. I grew up in Africa so...

Re: Mercedes Benz LPS 1418

Right, progress. I'm about 3 weeks into this build.

Ordered a Tamiya Hilux High Lift kit from Hong Kong, and built it. I sized the build to the track width of this kit (220mm), which pegs scale at...
