Default my mack

Well I finally got somthing to show. I wasn't going to use this cab but it grew on me, so here it is. I've still got some work to do on it but you guys get the idea. I'm just nnot sure what it will be yet. I just can't make up my mind, I was going to go with a dump, but I also want a tractor, then I thought it might make a good roll off. So until I make up my mind this is what I've got.





What do you guys think, what should it be? LOL

Hi firefighter-1177, nice paint As for your delimiter why not have the best of both with a removable tipper as 1:1 have and then you can hook a trailer when the tipper isn't required by making a sub frame that has a king pin in it with tabs ether side and then you will need something compact to lift it without using a standard screw drive so ether a hydraulic mast mounted behind the cab or one of Tyler's http://rctruckandconstruction.com/showthread.php?t=1846 actuators with some pivots ether side and hide the electrics in a dummy hydraulic tank on the side of the frame and some removable air/electric hoses for a trailer.....

Then you can have the best of both worlds when the work is getting slow


Cheers Tracy

So here's what I'm thinking. The front wheels and the lift axle will have super singles, and I want to do a custom headake rack.






The trailer is also going to get extended, and a few other goodies as well.

I sent you a PM about the trailer. There is so much you can do to modify these. I just got another Mack and low loader. Will be modding that soon.

I am working on an ambulance and a fire rescue truck, both out of those red bruder mack bodies. These things are a lot of fun.
