Nice job steve that is a monster with tons of power to boot.. Can't wait to see it all finished in paint..

That looks just awesome. Slower would be more scale probably but sometimes its nice to be a little fast to get around. You need some solid tires for sure with those impressive loads!

thanks Tom , the tire should be narrower ( 1" wide ) to be within scale . But they work . I thought about glueing them after I get it painted (long way off yet ) I like the bounce too , it reminds me of the real 1's I use to watch waiting to get loaded at the quarry I seen them running in . those where m45's single axle . I think they scrapped them by now

Ben , I put my 55# daughter in it last night and pulled her around like nothing . That was about all the 645mg steering servo could handle .

Want to see it first-hand sometime.

come to cabin fever next week end
