Default Re: Tonka bottom dump conversion

Got some pictures today it was raining out so no in use videos. For the conversion I try to buy a used axial scx 10 scale truck. Basically tear it down use all electronics full axle assembles. Uses some aluminum to attach it to the frame. You have to cut some of the tonka frame down so the axle will sit were the tonka axle did. To move the bottom dump open and close used a firgelli actuator attached underneath to the closest one and a peace of aluminum attached the two openings. If any more question just ask. ( it makes sense in my mind but that doesn't mean it does for everybody else haha) on to pictures


The rear axle had to be narrowed so it would look proper.


All the electronics are under the cab for a nice clean look
