Finally found some time to work on the truck.
Remembered just in time attach the supports for the electronic module to the frame.
Next comes the cross brace that will hold the motor/transfer/transmission.
At first I put it on the inside of the frame. And I used the wrong nuts too, so not enough thread for the nuts that will hold the gangplank in place. (should have checked the instructions)
These are the correct nuts. They are half the thickness of the model nuts.
Screwing the motor into the gear- transfer box. (different from the AROCS where they were 2 separate units) The motor is kept from unscrewing by a grub screw.
Ready to bolt to the support
Gangplank on top - might turn it around to go over the exhaust. Don't like the fact you can see the gearbox support peaking out from under it. Overhang on the other side is wider. Of course after installing it, I noticed I had forgotten the earth strap of the motor.
Fixed.
Meanwhile got notice from ScaleART that the new front axle is on its way here. Hopefully it does not get stuck in Customs over the holidays ...
