I do have pics on the rc truck on face book . Mike

Thanks for posting those Frizzen! I'm a bit of a slacker when it comes to pictures! LOL!

The ZIS is a blast! I'm having a ball with it and it's "dubious" cargo. I have to get pictures of the 3 new barrels added to the "load" since Lebanon, they're full of some green stuff?
Yuri says he doesn't have to use the headlights much now because of the glow so it's all good! HAHAHAHA!!!

HHmmmmmm one lid didn't seal too good? Yuri says "It's nothing!"

[Mikem]

Nice one

He'll be alright, Its over 6 feet away from him, plus it's behind him. The wind will keep everything away from his cab area! In case of a tail wind, he's got his safety bandana he can wrap it around his nose & mouth to prevent breathing it. It's all good

It looks pretty bad.

LOL!
Now I just need a 1/12 scale bottle of vodka and a AK to lay on the seat and the interior will be complete!

[ReneDK]

Thank you very much, I will order this one for the toolbox

[ReneDK]

AWESOME, THANKS! Just ordered 2. Wouldn't want Yuri to run out of a vital safety supply!

I'm just running a stock Tamiya 540 size motor from a King Hauler kit. Had it laying around, speed is just about where I like it. Plenty of power for my driving and good battery life. I wouldn't go to a high turn motor unless you want really slow top speed. Somewhere between 27 and 45 turns should do fine.

I bought some 2mm scale bolts, and needed to buy a driver to tighten them up. I bought two of a similar-looking driver to what you posted (different company, though), and it also has a slim profile tip to reach into tight spaces. What I found was that if you try to tighten the bolt too much, the inside of that tapered part tends to round off and won't tighten the bolt at all any more. So after that, I bought these much sturdier ones: https://www.ebay.com/itm/SSD-RC-2mm-...EAAOSwQiFaebl9 Now I use the smaller-tipped one to set the bolt in place, and these thicker ones to tighten it. You may find that these larger sockets are difficult to fit into tight places, but on the bolts for the bed, space is not a problem. -Mike
