Default Re: Time for a rebuild

I guess it's time to wrap this one up....I kind of glossed over some of the basic stuff... but this truck is on WPL axles, and transfer case the motor is a economy spur gear from Servo city 170 rpm and the gear box is 57:1 ...but I replaced the motor with a traxxas 28 turn for a little extra speed. The dump motor is a 33rpm mini econ gear motor...the bed lifts in about 10 or so seconds and dumps 8lbs. The tires and wheels are also WPL.
I wanted a red dump truck so I got it painted and added a few small details like saddle tanks, a tail panel with tail lights, back-up lights and a tow hitch. The running boards are WPL I just need to make some of my own, and the mud flaps are just inner tube. I want to add some mirrors once I find some the right size... working on that as we speak.
I just want enough detail to make it fun, I plan on getting my small "construction company" out in the dirt just need an excavator and a bigger loader...anyway here it is in all it's redness..
