Nuthin' really. I just prefer the scale looks of the Rust axles over the Wedico axles, even though it's kind of neat to have the remote lockers. I still have the Wedico axles, but if I go Rust, which I want to do, I'll be getting rid of the Wedico axles.

I am really digging the hex bolts - that makes the frame look so much better!

[rockNmayhem]

Have to agree here that the bolt heads make that truck so much more apealing. I wish most mfg's would get the idea when they build a kit to include bolts like that for those that want it to look more realistic.

Thanks again guys! Next update will have parts from Brian, John and Rod, some will say I'm just bolting together other people's work, well, I am but I'm also smart enough to know when to call in the big guns.

Good builders know where to get the best products for what they are doing,
no matter what it is (house,car,computer,guitar,airplanes...etc) and
rc trucks!

The truck is looking good and that suspension and axles are the bomb!

[Brian in PA]

Looks Great Craig! I should have your steps ready this week!

John for his outlaw stacks!

Rod for his bad to the bone visor!

Brian for his awesome steps and airtanks, he got fit fit right and doing this without haveing the truck in front of him, incredible!

Russ for smooth as cat snot aluminum polishing!

Nathan for lots of advice and extra suspension parts, thanks everybody!!





Still have a ways to go but it's getting there!!

[Espeefan]

Very nice Craig. I think I have Wedico envy now! It's really coming together. Won't be long now, will it?

I see my reputation precedes me! That can't be good. All I need is some to show me how these things go together!

Beautiful truck so far! Can't wait to see pics or a video of it done. By the way, that is a nice train too!

[Espeefan]

Great photo, Craig. Looks like the Pete just needs a grain tailer behind it now. Suppose the farmer is talking to the trucker, as he has come to pick up the trailer.

[Claus]

Hey Nathan thanks! If a certain cheese-head would get his mill up and running that trucker could be hauling that farmers tractor on his new drop deck trailer.
