No it isn't easy, but compared to the other one i built it is. A 4-axle T-cab Scania dumptruck with crane, what a pain in the... that is

Anyway this one is planed to be finished next weekend, dont now how but thats the plan I'm going to a truckmeet weekend after so it better be done

It's been a while since I did anything with this, couldent decide how i want it.
After a lot of thinking i decide to make the frame longer, made it to a 6x4 and put a 12V TruckPuller motor in it so i can run it on 3S LiPo

So finally time for a real update on this truck. I decided to make it a light heavy hauler.

First is the cab mount, used the parts from the MAN TGX.



Made an adapter for the bumper, three pieces of 5mm/0.2in styrene and it got into right position.



So here is the cab on it's right place with the right parts for the first time.



Holder for beacon ramp.



With paint on it.



On it's place again.



Fenders of aluminium.





Electronics and battery boxes on both sides.











Got to have a couple of stacks on the back of the cab.

Tested with electronics in the left box



Painted most of the parts











Cab masked up for a little bit yellow, not the best work but it will do
