$60 1/32 Scale Toy Semi Conversion

[mcrcat]

Hey guys I have been lurking here for a while because I love Semi Trucks and have had my eye on building a Tamiya truck for years now but have not had the money to. I decided to take on a little project I could afford and thought I would share. It is a micro scale conversion of a toy grade semi truck into full proportional steering and throttle.

Hope you guys like it!

Very cool.

Oh darn, your trucks smaller so you've got more places you can play with it. Or you could build a fleet for the price of 1 tamiya

That's pretty cool. Hauls a good amount of weight, it looks like.

Thanks for the replies!

I have been having a blast cruising this thing around the living room. I have a second one also on order, a red one with a box trailer that I found Coca Cola decals for. I will post pics when it arrives. I still hope to build a 1/14th truck some time next year.

As for the towing capacity, it seems to do very well. Actually it drives a lot better with weight in it. It is pretty light so sometimes I loose traction while backing the trailer empty. I added some BBs to the tires to help with that.
