Mack DM truck, scale 1/24

[kerst]

I made some progress. Apart from some detailing and painting it is ready. I added a winch behind the cab and there is a motor in the gooseneck to raise the trailer. I use a switch to change from drive motor to the other motor.

This is the first test run. The 4100W is quite heavy, even without counterweights and the truck feels it. The frame of the low loader is plenty strong and even flexes a bit. The truck goes forward pretty well, but steering doesn't respond very well. There is too much weight on the tandem axles. Maybe I should add a dolly. Would be fun, but more difficult to reverse!
I made a start with load securing, but the elastics don't really do it. It actually needs a chain.
