Shortening the frame
On Friday I spent some time at a mill and made the rear hitch assembly - had drawn it up weeks ago and pondered how it might turn out...
I used standazrd shocks witht he springs to the bottom - over the screw and inside the shock body - adds spring on the lift side - used nitro fuel tube where the spring normally is placed for support - alittle give but plety strong
test fit the fenders - planned it so that the hitch had the fender supports in them
found out that I shortened it less than the stadard drive shaft - used a punisher I had - happened to e the right length. ...
spent Sat. morning on the fifth wheel plate - used the one from the powered leg kit - areal tight fit on a single axel short wheel base - sorry only a few pics.....
And spent last night working on the hitch lift mechanism.....370 oz-in servo !!!! Had to reverse the hitch plates - Servo just fits behind the axel - seriously tight for space - got lucky as I picked up the servo yesterday and did not plan on the spacing.
