Default Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck

looking good. Maybe add some axle stops so you can control the articulation? I cut mine of the tamiya axles so I can get more but it looks like you will have plenty!

looks like your bed lift will work just fine. If I can offer a suggestion. My Piviot point on my green MACK 6 Wheeler is about even with the back of the rear tire. I had it previously further back about 10-15mm but the truck was trying to do a wheelie when dumping or with the box all the way up. you may want to check to see if your truck will stay solid on the ground with the bed fully raised. It looks like you will be fine with a heavy truck but its something to think about



Hope to see this at the spring meet!
