Kenworth. The trouble is I need to find or have custom-made a Kenworth cab to fit nicely.

Besides, I only speak English, not German.
I emailed Cowboy personally and I will wait to see what he thinks.

Thanks for your help all the same, Mr. R.

I did find this nice Mack cab Tamiya based mixer on YouTube with a trick working Bruder cement barrel that was doctored with custom electronics. I just need that sweet KW cab and some tech tips on making such a build.

I am now convinced RC cement mixers can be built without a "rocket science degree".

Is there a good book on scale RC truck/construction/garden truck building and operating for the serious discriminating hobbyist that could be recommended for reading?
