About this creation

This is a rebuild of the truck I posted earlier. It is my ongoing project. I plan to keep improving it. It may not look like it but I revised about 90% of the body and chassis. It now has power functions and is RC. I made numerous improvements to the body, especially the lack of exposed studs. The fifth wheel is partially functional (it hooks up but does not remotely disconnect). I am currently building a car carrying trailer which will hold all the movie cars that I am building. All these components are for a show my LUG is putting on in July. Things I am considering for future upgrades: suspension, fully functional fifth wheel, better front fenders, fuel tanks, and mirrors. Dimentions: 61 studs long x 19 studs wide (without mirrors) x 26 studs tall. Scale: approximately 1/16.5

Here is the video

Quoting Nikolyakov _ Good mix of technic and system parts. It must be funny drive around :)

Thanks. It is fun to drive around. My LUG just had a show in Moose Jaw (that's a city in Canada) and the kids were really entertained seeing it drive.

Quoting George Staples Awesome truck. I like the metal looking mud guards on the front drive axle. I also like the sleeper door access to the battery box. If you want a good idea for suspension, I have a leaf spring type design on two of my trucks. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/307288 http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/292859 It is simple, and fairly stiff to support lots of weight. Check them out if you want.

Thanks for the comments. I looked at your leaf springs. Amazing. I never would of thought of that. I tried cramming shocks in there but there was no space. I will definitely look into building these. I don't know if I will use them but if I do I will give you credit. Your other mocs are terrific too.
