Default Re: My first truck - Aeromax

Thanks everyone!

Dan, I got the ZapToy Tractor from Amazon.co.uk. Don't be fooled by the picture on Amazon; it's either a real tractor or a proper scale model. The lifting arms and supporting structure on the actual toy is very much toy-like. Sometime I hope to replace (another project). The toy is wired for lights, but only for the two headlights and two taillights. I drilled out the other lights to fit 3mm LERs. The toy had 2 "wheat-grain" light bulbs for light up the group of 4 headlights. I removed these, drilled out the individual headlights and installed 3mm LEDs, 2 in "warm" white and two regular white.

One of the interesting aspects of the tractor conversion is how to fit everything! There really isn't that much room inside one, especially if you want to preserve the driver's cab. Sorry I didn't think to take in-progress photos to post.
