Dd, great tip on making cargo and shrink wrapping pallets. I'm probably going to need to knock out some more forklift stuff soon.

Paint on cab right didn't hold up as well, so i hadn't been showing off the Curb side.


It's likely going to keep most of the pressed 'original frame' to bolt to an 'rc frame'. Spring-under-axle with lowering blocks. "Millitary-wrapped" (doubled) main leaf, with a bunch of helper leafs. Then going to run a 2 or 3 piece rear driveshaft with carrier bearings. I'm still undecided on a servo and esc. I've noticed we need better axles under it before i get much farther, plastic axle-C already feels weak while just flexing.

A couple weeks ago, I had asked a friend if they would be able to 3D print a couple items for this build. Too much life was happening, so instead they gave me a very "affordable" printer that had also been given to them. Now i have an Easythreed X1, to learn about, upgrade and whatever else. Some of the machines reviews help explain this price, so there is a lot of "Opportunity" there. It's PLA only, with lots of backlash, and fairly limited ability. Pooping Robot: aquired
