Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000

[Hos1880]

Carl,

I have been reading thru your thread and it is awesome, this truck is on my list of trucks to build once i get two others finished. What thickness aluminum are you using for your suspension brackets. I hope when I get the M26 done to start on one of these thank you for sharing.

Merritt, the brackets and frame rails are 1/16" thick. Basiclly standard extruded alumnium cut to shape and finished with a file.

I am still learning about how to build them. So far so good, changed my mind about casting the axle housings(it would cost more that the truck itself).

So now I am awaiting some flat stock alumnium. These axles are designed to use Tamiya's diff setup.

Thanks for looking.
Carl
