Another one lowered the box and body then had to cut off front frame rails made a flatbed rubbed out the wheel wells changed those ugly running boards made wood ones hinged the hood in the middle changed the rim and tires they were 3D printed by Dean ...dgsselkirk ...Thanks Dean , I bought a few sets they look cool

sorry it didn't put pics in order but it's all grey and the ones with no frame rails sticking out of the front would be the latest version

Looking good Greg

I know Gary is leary of shipping a complete truck across the border, but I reckon I owe you so I'll see if I can get a set of parts for a Diamond T out your way - just got to cut them down enough to fit in a small box

It's not that I'm leary, I'm just too cheap. When I think about the packages that went west during the CCKW build, that would've been a gazillion dollars if it all had to go through customs. I keep telling Greg to get the advanced license and then he can pop over here and collect all kinds of goodies.

Anyway, here's the latest on the tanker truck. It's in the booth drying right now so it won't be long before I start assembly. I'm really tempted to try this two speed gearbox in this one.

Here's a little preview of the new tires, which I think are a much better fit, being almost the same diameter as the stock tires.

And a shot of a CCKW tire so you can see how much bigger these tires are.

Now that has me salivating like whatshisnames dogs. That must have been a wide truck if the jjrc axles work under there, and I can't wait to find out. I'm about halfway to putting together a one ton trailer, and i happen to have a jjrc truck kit. I have to go check that out. Unfortunately fusion doesn't like me. Maybe I should try throwin' pavlov's bell at it. Nah, prolly just break somethin'.

Gary,
I've just shared the White 666 models, you might want to give the rear wheels for that a look, as I've had to reduce the track width by 8mm overall to suit the longer JJRC axles. I'm thinking that they might work for your CA10, with maybe a small fender extension?

I'll take a look at that. Paco is also looking at modifying the other rims.

Got a new truck





I'm getting closer to being able to edit video, but for the moment it's still short videos with 30 second clips added on. This goes in line behind the tanker truck, but I just got the RX for that so we're back in business.

I got one of those. Yes, it does drive like a cartoon. The axles however, are better than the WPL trucks, they have a true differential, not just a worm gear on a solid shaft.

Mine is a support unit for my Swiss Leopard.

I've been buying up the axles from those guys for a while - the WPL ones are ok for smaller trucks, but if you want a bit more grunt or a bigger truck/smaller ratio between length and wheel base, they have their limitations...

Have a WPL 6x6, looks like sound is finally here, I know Crius has done one, wonder how good this will be. Upgrade for WPL and JJRC trucks. The proportional steering and throttle is perfect. 4 channel control allows using the 2-speed transmission too. And the ESC has even the output for left and right turn signals and brake lights too. Banggood on order for $40.00
