Hi Chris, since it is not that complicated to get longer chassis rails at a later date, I will keep going with the MAN as is at the moment. Once we move back to Europe and are closer to ScaleART, I might give the conversion a shot so I can send the whole truck to them to sort out if I make a big mess ... Just thinking about all the cables and hydraulic lines is enough to give me a headache!
Thomas wrote a build report (in German/English) about his truck with Palfinger:

Just look at the amount of servos and hydraulic lines ...
