It would be so nice to be able to discuss techniques & see how they were made; photos just don’t do them justice.
I love what you are doing with your builds, keep thinking outside that box.

I have and always will tell and/or show anyone how I did something.. No secrets here.


Well except for my shocks.. those I'll keep secret.

Just awesome Mike...I just went through this build again and forgot how crazy detailed this thing is..I can't wait to see this done...I still say a full sleeper interior would be sweet..I know it has to hold everything...but like a real house..shove it under the kitchen sink..

Ya never know John, have to wait and see when I get all the stuff that has to go in there.

Ok Guys and Gals I need some help.

As I have stated before I have no idea about the R/C part of these things.

Rick (Rogue) had mentioned to me that he used a 25:1 gearbox as the transmission for the Yellow Zonker that he sold to Paul. He was telling me that this would be a good gearbox to use for my truck giving me the slower more "Scale" speed that I want. I do not want to use the stock 3 speed because I don't want this thing going that fast..

Also keep in mind that I have no idea about the motors either, it's all greek to me.

I will be using the Tamiya MFU in the truck.

So here is my question to all of you.

What motor should I use?

and

Where can I get a gearbox at?

Please include links for me as well.

Thanks

No one has any suggestions for motors or gear boxes?

Mike, you should consider the 3 speed just for the coolness of it. You have the room. I have a 55 turn motor in my dump I'm currently building and I added a 3:1 from Integy. Travis turned me on to this. It works really good and is like 20 bucks!

Brian unless I cut a hole in the floor of the sleeper and put the motor and 3 spd there, I don't have the room. the floor on my cab is flat. and about 1/4" above the frame rails.
