The Globe was crawling around pretty good in the excellent dirt. The ESC finally gave up after 25 years of abuse.

Stupid question since i haven't seen beam haulers moving off highway. Should the lower hinge link / frame extension have some kind of red flag or some lighting? I know more than 2' rear overhangs need it, i don't know if sides do beyond the bumper flags

It looked great out on the pile!

Pretty much what i did to this Globe. Interesting to find out how things functioning or not over time.
The more you care when you build the truck the longer it last.
However there is a problem with quality of casting plastic parts. For some reason the same part from different kits, one can fall apart and the other is strong and good. On the other side i don't think Tamiya could imagine what we do to our trucks when they started this back in the day.

Hey Joe.
After inspection of the Globe. I found out several problems.
1. Four days before Cabin Fever i purchased a brand new 4 Ch Spektrum Receiver to get one more funktion for the Rod/drawbar to retract when i pull regular trailers. That stopped working in reverse.
2. The ESC witch is a Novak Super Rooster had a cracked solder.
So now it is fixed, solder the board in the ESC and one new receiver. No cost just i tiny bit of work...........Life is good ! Back to the Tamuder and finish that one.
