Re: Fumotec 490

Hi Calum, sounds like you are in Air/Heli mode which doesn't allow reverse. Needs to be in Car/Boat mode. Is kind of explained in the manual how to do it.

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Finishing the rear suspension. Not too detailed because it is very similar to the Arocs.

First the "A" frames that hold the axles in place.

Re: Fumotec 490

Hi Calum, what is the exact problem you have? I remember having a hard time myself. One of the ESCs has to run in reverse to the other. I could not get that to work, for some reason the ESC kept...

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Hi Christain... yes started it, but taking it slowly and not really following the manual this time and am trying to figure out myself where and how things will fit. More fun that way.

Re: Charger and leads?

I got an iMax B6AC charger on ebay, comes with a variety of connectors and can handle Lipo, NiMh, and NiCD batteries. Different vendors offer different connectors so just have to check the pics.

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Did the front axle suspension.

Also an upgraded item. It now comes painted black (is still brass) and the spacers between the leaf springs have become longer, making the whole a more sturdy. The...

They removed the ugly philips screw that held the clamp for the bowden cable

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Hi bigford, wouldn't call it abuse really. Since I sold the bike and the Defender, putting this together kind of keeps me sane.

With all the non-standard parts on this one I can look forward to...

Figured I start with the air suspension.

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Took the better part an hour to remove the part and re-assemble.

As per manual I left the middle one open. Am 99.99% sure that is where the fender support will go. Haven't shortened the bolts yet...

ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Gave in to the ScaleART addiction and ordered a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 with a 3-axle half pipe trailer to go with it. This one will be white on a red frame. Same for the trailer.

The MAN will have...

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Hi Sneff, during the build I thought of replacing some of the philips with model nuts, but never got around to it. Too difficult to source them here in Malaysia.

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Yes, you are right, it would have been nice to have more if not all hex fasteners. But since the phillips screws are predominantly in areas not normally visible it is not such a big deal (personal...
