Default Knight Hauler Longline

Hi...

The Scania T580 is completed, a new project must be found. It will be a truck for my 11 year old son, he wants to make all decissions regarding color, equipment, technics, etc. Let's wait and see what he is requesting

During our search for a new project we found such a Longline truck...



I remembered that there were a lot of parts left from my Black Devil project, so let try to make it...

The project started...





Now I had to fill nearly 6'' of space...

After a lot of gluing, filling and round about 5 hours of sanding, we have a result:

Hi...

Small update. The floor plate of cabine must also be stretched.

Dividing into two pieces, screwing it into the cabine and glued 2 small bracers.



Tomorrow the gap will be filled by a fitting plate.

Hi...

Today a big step was done, the truck is standing on its own wheels.

It's about 31.1inch (79cm) long.



















The next step is to place the motor, I hops the CVD from my Mercedes project will be lomng enough. I'm not willing to buy a new one because of a few mm.

Also I started to think about which electric components will be added. But I think it will be Servonaut again, it is the best quality to get.

That's it for the day...

Hi,

it's a truck for my son, so he can decide about the colors. His actual decission is a combination of red and black. Before it was orange and before that it was yellow.

So there might be a lot of additional decissions until the truck is ready to be painted...

Let' wait and see...

Hello gismow, your son is one lucky kid, I like what you did so far and red and black would look awesome, so would black and blue, but as you said, this is your son's decision. My son is only 6 and I let him drive once in a while my old aeromax. Keep us posted with any updates, gruesse aus long Island.
