Thanks for all the kind words guys. Small little update, came up with my own tank brackets since I'm not to fond of the ones tamiya provides. LMK what you think They started out as 1''x1/4'' aluminum bar stock.







Thanks for looking

Thanks spudd
Cory, That cab over is an '88 frieghtliner. I heard it has a b-modle cat backed by a 13spd and that both only have 1000 miles and the work was done by ziegler cat, two new rear ends last summer and riding on a nice comfy 280'' wb. I guess he wants 20k for it. If I had the money it would in my drive way hooked to my scrap wagon. As for my globe, i'm using the rds8000 and hear no grinding. I'll try the trim trick. thanks a ton. BTW was that you on 694 on friday morning?

Yes sir i get on at rice street i was heading west to plymouth took 1 1/2 hours to get there with that baby snow storm!!! i have the same remote as you and the trims are tricky and find myself always messing with them on my knight hauler . Yeah i got a quik look at it and he just had the trailer before and then i noticed the truck about a week ago it is nice looking accept he has it angled away from the road! i swear it was a pete but you sure have the stats on it. i had a guy named robert on here help me to get mine moving had to reset alot of the options on the remote or reverse them!

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. Had a little time in the last week or so to get some more done.

Boxed in and painted the frame.





Also got the new inter axle drive shaft from RC4WD and it seems to look/function pretty good.

Thanks for looking

OK, been a while, but got her almost done.


The tank mounts I made holding a set of Steve's tanks and Brian's 1/4'' SS straps keeping everything held together.

And fabed up a tail plate to mount Lynn's sweet bezels.
