TheStuffz' F350 Dually

[Stuff]

So, I was going over my "leftover" parts from the semi and my highlift build. It looked like I had allot of parts and I had originally took the front semi suspension and was going to use it for building a trailer, but that has now started to become a truck.

First was the frame rails that I had. Same thing but I used the ones that had holes in them.


I had the original 3 speed from the semi as I used the fancy 2 speed planetary in the semi.


I used the old trailer lights from the flatbed trailer. I also had an F350 cab that I used to have on my SCX10 until the body posts broke lol. So I mocked it up on the frame.


I was debating on one or two axles, but decided on once because it would look weird with two. The rear axle is a tamiya highlift axle. it is one wheel each side wider then the fronts.



I then just mocked up the rear axle in the holes that were existing in the frame for now. The springs are Topcad D90 springs from asiatees.



I also took the dremel and removed the additional springs from the semi front springs and the topcad D90 springs were just bolted like a highlift spring set. This gave me great flex!


There is more to go. I did make videos along the way. They will be out on Youtube soon.

I am planning to sand down and re-do the cab.. eventually.

comments/suggestions?
