Well I've been lurking for almost a year, found the site after trying to find more information about my Nylint Michigan Crane.
My father started to try and motorize it back in 1965 and I still have it along with several other construction toys that now are begging to be converted to RC.
I'm new to RC spent years in 1/32 slot cars but have kind of gotten the bug with construction equipment. Not sure I want to drop thousands in the hobby yet so following the lead of Small Haul, Frizzen, RVJIMD, 9Wmonighan, and host of others I'm starting with a Tonka conversion. I found the WPL parts have a pretty close track width for the Tonka, and Nylint trucks....so it has started....I think I have read every thread dealing with these from the last 10 years but still seem to have a lot of questions....so let it begin.
