Default Gaullee Pa,Always wanted a 9 spd Atlas movin truck

Back a few years ago a good friend of mine had a truck built for his line of work.(movin) Always thought it was a neat rig.



So...Now that I have a few builds under my belt,I'm a gunna go for it!
Well close anyhow. Also was lookin at the pile of tamiya 3spds that weren't doing nothing.So figured lets do something useful w/them.
Now in real life you shift a tractor a bunch of times,why not with scale model? So this is what I did.


It will only be a 6 spd on the upward shift,3 of the combos will overlap ratios. Still 6 is kooler than 3!
Now the tractor. As you see in the pics,the tractor is almost as long as the trailer. So here's a tour of the build from start to date.















More to come!

Now a little color to the picture.




Had to mod the stack covers for car rack. Made a nice mess out of my first try.

Got er on the second.

Had to slip it together just to see how she looked so far.


Wanted to use stock tanks,but no dice w/the rack.So went with king parts.

Well that brings us up to where she is today!
Thanks for lookin!

Fred not trying to be smart but how do you get two 3 speeds to do 9 speeds? Ed

Freddy

what size square styrene are you using for the car rack on top of the cab? just that part is amazing really can't wait to see more of this truck.

That's a pretty unique rig. I have to say I've never quite seen one like that on the road.

Freddy, I picked up a rastar 1/14 and they are pretty nicely detailed with crap RC components. I tore the guts out and will be working on hobby grade stuff for it.

Hey Freddy, what kind of rear end are you using in that truck & did you just add the drain plug to it?

Haven't checked this build out for a while, Fred. It's looking really good. The rack turned out great. Can't even tell it's styrene, now that it's painted.
