Re: 2000 freightliner 2
thanks everyone I do like the metal transmission it seems to be really torqy which i like can probably be geared down even more to have more power but I havent messed around with it much yet
I was thinking if i should ge the simulated air suspensions for this project would like freaken nice, but I really dont know if its any better than the stock one. If it has a lot of travel and easy movement that can climb over things easy i def would. but not sure yet, anyone tried one of them? http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPER-8-Simu...item4602c67e49 I'd love to see a video of them working but I havent seen any yet

Re: 2000 freightliner 2
Hey skl1cent, I was looking at that transmission before and have to ask you something. It says it's 3 speed with metal gears, ball bearings etc, but does not require a servo. So is it automatic? Does it actually change gear itself according to throttle? If it does, that is WAY cool!
With regards to the 8 bag suspension, did you notice that the guy that makes / sells that is Russ, as in Russisloud? So send him a PM. I am sure he would be happy to answer any questions you have about it.

Re: 2000 freightliner 2
haha you can do it, it was easy LOL
at first you just take ur time and work slow but then after you know what you want, you will already know how to build what you picture in your mind. and you'll just go right at it without thinking takes alot of time but you will get it with time n patience

Re: 2000 freightliner 2
just a little steering action!
I dremel the back of the steering knucle where it touches the actual axel now it has a little circle cut in right on that spot, gives the truck much more steering power thats always useful I know b/c my real truck turns on a dam dime the wheels stick out wayyyyyyyy outBefore  After
