Default Re: Moving KH Front Axle

Sorry to change the subject, but why do people move the front axle forward on the King hauler, what do you gain by moving it forward?

As far as model operation, you don't gain anything. It's more about making the truck more prototypical to the 1:1 Pete or Kenworth. The steer axle set on all the tamiya trucks was more about being able to use the same spring on the front and rear suspension than representing a 1:1.
