Default FW-60.Workin Video!

Well don't have a hobby shop right now,& all my stuff is boxed up.
It's been over 3 months since I've had my hands on anything r/c.
So last week I broke down & orders sum goodies so I can at least build something.
Now I'm only workin w/basic hand tools & a drill press.So don't exspect nothing to fancy.
So here's my push toy going r/c.

Down to the bones.

She's getting an r2 2sp,Pmd puller motor & tamiya semi axles.





Now steering servo






It sure feels good to be buildin again!
Thanks for lookin!

Cool. I have to say since Hauler 10-4 finished his Ford, I've been wanting to build one too, but I don't know if I can pull it off as nice as you guys manage! These are neat models.

Freddy I like the fact you stayed true to 4WD, something lots of people sacrifice for room.

Nice to see you building something. I'm sure you have been brainstorming about many many future builds. Looks good.

Glad you Boys are diggin the build so far,Thanks!
Brian,saw it on line a while back & thought it would make a kool conversion.
Matt,Not to worry!Ole-Bud will be back & pushin! Even if it's burn't sand.
Claus,she's a FW.It gotta have allwheel drive.
Clyde,no Ih's for me,that's Steve & Chris. I'm JD & Ford.
Well managed to get a little done.
Trany is now mounted.

Then did some butchin on the replica motor to try to get some of it back under the hood.




Then the shifter servo & linkage.

Now it's the easy stuff.







She works perfect! Tomorrow I'll do a vid of her pulling sometng I started to build tonight. I wanted something that pulls hard & covers a lot of area in a few passes.
Here's what I have so far.


Thanks for lookin!

Thanks Spudd!
My twin disc puller is done.



Bought these discs awhile back from the Franklin mint co.
There all steel,the detail is unreal.

They work like the real deal.Can even adjust the cutting angle.
Just had to play in the dirt with her.


Of course,the vid!

Time for a chisel plow.
Thanks for lookin!

Very cool. I want to build one for myself now! Thanks a lot! I really do think you need a chisel plow. Something that makes it lug a little. Those disks don't seem to load the tractor at all.

Hey Freddy that is cool and coming from your truck stable of trucks
There's just one thing missing the lights it need to be lit up for some night action
