Actros Gigaspace

After looking at Davo's build I decided to go ahead and dig into mine. The usual thing happen, Project ADD , I'm like a little kid, I start something and half way through I decide to move on to something else. So here is where I'm at so far, I probably say this everytime, but I hate building euro cabs, they are a pain, but when finished they look awesome. Anywho, here she goes:





I'm not gonna put the battery on the bottom so I just glued the tanks to the rails


The electronics that will go in


The usual orange and black paint scheme


Lights are in




This guy apparently does not believe in iPhones as you can see, a 20 year old phone is what he likes, whatever.

That's Ivana , his new squeeze and coworker .


I know it's a mess but I'm not done yet, still have to paint some stuff black and get all the wiring done and plug all the lights, but for now it looks like a truck.






That's is for now. Thanks for looking!

Not only an old-school phone but an atlas and no GPS, for shame! Great details, looks great so far. Just curious where'd you get the driver and Ivana?

Good question, I usually use my own motors (85t) on this one. But I doubt they put a brushless motor for that price. I'll look in the box later.

Nice to see one that's being done competently, however! Looks great, wish I thought of that as a colour.

Thank you! I love Orange and so does my wife. All I have to say is oh look honey I got another orange truck..... and it's all good

Finally finished it. What a pain in the rear that was. Wayyyyy too many wires and not enough space, Most people take off the interior and black out the windows but I like to keep it, it's tight but will work. I'm happy with it for a work truck. Gonna do it's share of long hauls.





Running lights I guess


Driving lights and high beams


Hazards


And tails


Oh wanna check that Atlas real quick? Too dark for you? Let me turn on the reading light for you babe....



Heavy load, Prestige Worlwide at your service!!



That's all guys. Thanks for looking.
