my 6x6 bullhead crane truck!!

[krankillen]

I was thinking of a new project a year ago. began to buy one axial!

[krankillen]

then I slaughtered a tamiya bullhead! wanted the body!!

[krankillen]

then it was just to paint!

[krankillen]

two axles became one!

[krankillen]

extended the framework with wardrobe rails!!

[krankillen]

became really good I thought

[krankillen]

had to test mounted!

[krankillen]

a steel plate to the crane!

[dabears]

Impressive work! Looks really good!

[krankillen]

thanks! Now should the crane be mounted on the frame.

Man I'm digging this truck! Great job! I've thought about using a bullhead body to build a water truck for our dirt oval. Hmmmm... gets me ta thinking.

dont stop - I like this truck. great fit of handmade parts - not easy to do sometimes.

great job makes me want to finish restoring my bullhead!

That's cool. I didn't realize building a pass through axle, with input and output shafts, from an Axial model, was that easy. Did you just take the two molded halves, and bolt them together? Do they fit together as easy as they look like they do? Any necessary modifications?

yes you just need to remove the flange on one axle. then screw them together.
