Default Re: Old tired wrecker

Here's the latest update, sorry no pictures this time.
This weekend was concentrated on getting the Crackerbox wrecker mobile. I received the 437 rpm gear motor I had ordered from servo city, removed the 12v motor and mounted a LRP 27 turn 7.2v truck pulling motor. Seems to have good power and the speed is about right. I machined a new motor mount/cross member to mount it. I found I was able to bore out the stock front dog bone cup to 6mm and use the stock Globeliner drive shaft. Receiver and speed control mounted and she is good to go. High build primer should be here Monday so weather willing I will be able to at least get the cab primed so I can get the interior started. More pictures on the next update.
