Hello,

Here a picture with the paint on it

I made also the two shafts and it works.
I do make it al by hand. So things like the shafts are a little problem.
But when it does work it is great.

To rebuild the rear axes the rear bumper has to come off.
Now it is the time to build a new bumper.
I did build it from wood.
this is the new bumper.

I did have some time.
So the steering axel did have a smal servo.
The servo was not strong. I build a big one in it.
Now it the wheels move in both directions when the truck is standing stil.
I do hope that the truck is steering well when it drives in reverse.

this are the things I did the last weeks.

hello,

The problem is how to extend the axes.
Now I do need some help, because I don't have a "Lathe".
So I got help, and in a evening I had the parts I needed.
So here the the build.
Before I start with the axes I had to put the rear bumper on and connect the lights.
First the extensions on the Tamiya axes.

It is always nice work when it fits.
In the extension I put a 4mm bolt. The bolt is so long that second wheel wil fit on to.

Now I put the first wheels on and put a screw-not before it, so the wheel is stuck to the extension. This is inportant because I have now a connection between the axes and the wheels.

After the first now it is time to put the second wheel on and the rest off the fenders.
This is the result from the update rear axes , fender and bumper

I do hope that the truck is driving much better with this update.
We will see

hello,

Here a litle update.

The truck is driving great with the new axles.
I'am hope to make a movie from it, with some help.

The last time I was busy with making transport boxes for the roadtrain.
I don't now if it is common for you all to build these boxes, but in our country it is normal.
I visit somethimes other events in the country.
To get the trucks safe in and out off the car, is already a challenge.
And the drive to the events brings also some damage to the trucks.
Thats why I build boxes.
Here a picturefrom the boxes.
