Thanx...

Now the last piece of the cab is done.

Last steps will be the winker on the front venders, the fifth wheel and the electronics.

Your hard work is showing in spades Peter

Hi...

Another small piece is done, the front winker. Small pieces but round about 6 hours of work.

Here are some pictures

Hi...

Thanx...

During the last days I worked on the fifthwheel.

It will beopened by a servo and a switch is added from the MFC so that my own board is able to detect the connect.

The modified fifthwheel



The carrier (??? correct word ???)







Mounted fifthwheel







Its place on the truck

Hi...

One axle has a self made lock activated by a servo and I must test it on the Track. The second axle will be modified if it works.

Mine are currently locked permanently. I used the old trick of adding an extra gear into the rear diff to do it. There are times I wish I was able to lock, & unlock without taking the diff apart!
