So a few days back i ordered up a sheet of plastic to use as a new work top and it came in today. It makes for a really nice flat work space.

Afew shots of the cab.

So here is whats up with the axles on the note book, lol I'm trying out kind of a different idea i had for the rear of the puller, so i started out by making some "track bars" to tie the rear axles together and mocked it up and a stock frame.

Hi,

but now the axles can't swing anymore to handke any roughness in the ground. The wheels will hang in the air and the truck will stop because of no traction. The only way to solve this would be to lock all rear axles completely.

If I'm right this truck will be pulling on a carpeted floor, flat surface only.

I had planed on just using a e-maxx trans in the truck, but after looking it over, it wasnt really going to fit how i wanted it..... So after getting some gears and bearings i can up with something that would fit better in the frame.
