I cut the chassis is 50 cm and 9 cm wide at the moment I leave it so long that every time I'd rather be 6x6, if one has a pair of axes Losi 1 / 18 for sale we talk . Now I have the deck removed. And here work by making long-axis tests, chances are that it respects the "bathtub" because one of my dreams would be one of these days you start to play i hydraulic or pneumatic and build a digger to load the truck, 50cms so allow me to install the tub. It occurred to me that I believe a solution will be simple and effective, basically it comes to using the base of the Losi (integer) and make it tougher suspensions with a tractor body and the rear hitch and attach a directly produce a bathtub, and the truth is that the float in the Losi is like a tractor. Well my morning has spread enough, I removed the chassis of the Losi, all the top tray, I removed the electronics (which reubicaré at the end), I have prepared the rails and I have changed the angle of the shock absorbers. |

Although many details are missing, now I'm making some side to put deposits in the electronics and battery. |

At the end I opted for making a kind of Alforja, and very easily assembled and disassembled, as the base of the chassis I have two velcro straps which are very subject. Both a deposit and I fit well in another battery and the other the receiver and drive. |

Well let's give a little impetus to this issue that was stopped, and after technical pated, there you go taking up the situation, and drawing the other day we gather to eat, we were talking about our new projects and finish Maquiinaria RC trucks, and I see that we are serious because you have your truck PcMiguel MAN, Dak has caught another (do not know exactly what model, but to be catching a Scania) and me with my Actros, which among all decided produce NO and NO mount trailer 5 th wheel, failing that I'll stretch the chassis (10 to 15cm) and the gimbal and mounting a 4x4 truck semi-rigid, and these are photos of presentation. |

Been a long time and had no time to change so many things I wanted to do so with a little brass welding and ethics are going to change by a little more radical. |
