My Cascadia
Here is my Cascadia that I put together and the only thing I changed from stock was the rims and I used the old Tamiya aluminum rims. The paint is a really dark blue with a lot of metallic in it.
I chose to use the EURO MFU and it is a lot different than the original. Obviously the engine sound is different and has a more quite muffled sound that I think fits this truck well. The first difference is having to manually start the engine it does not come on automatically and one it is up and running the function used to start the truck now becomes a clutch. You can hold in on the clutch and rev the engine without moving the truck and if you rev up the engine and let of the clutch it takes off. You can also hit the clutch while at full speed and the truck will come to a sudden stop. The turn signals do not come on automatically which is not bad but you have to remember to activate the signals if you want to use them but it is cool that you can turn on the signal and set with the wheels strait like your waiting to turn. You can change the sound of the signals and the horn from the radio. The high beam lights are momentary and activate with 50% throw of the stick and full through of the same stick is the horn so I mixed a switch to turn the high beams on when II want them but the way they have it set up you can flash the like a real truck. Over all it still has the same functions as the original plus a lot more

Re: My Cascadia
nice looking truck, thanks for the write up on the mfc-03, i'm looking to get one for my scania.
is it me or does the truck look too short in stock form... maybe it's because i've been building so many stretched rigs, nothing looks normal anymore.. lol |

Re: My Cascadia
I really like that color, and the shine is awesome. I also like the stock length, it looks more realistic that way.

Re: My Cascadia
Thanks it just takes some time and practice as well as good paint. I try to use all autobdy paint. The only place I use a spray bomb is black for the frame and I use cat black as it stays soft to the point it doesnt scrstch or chip easaly
Thanks man I am getting back into the swing of it. The tractors and other rc stuff has got me back on track and having fun.
