Best build ever! I always drool over this one, at Scale 4x4, and have been watching it closely on that forum! Nice to see you bring it over here to share. You have a ton of talent and patience!

Thanks I have seen your avatar build and I have no doubt you will pull off any build you try with great success.

Thank you , No I did not build the axles they are from RC4WD..

Re: 5 ton brass/copper build
 

Wow, nice work! Do you use a torch, soldering iron or resistance soldering iron? How do you decide whether to use brass or copper? Or, put another way, why use copper at all - is it better for shaping for curves?
