Default Divi's Mercedes-Benz

Hi there!

Been off from crawlers for about 5 years now.. Well few days back I accidentally bought used Axial SCX-10 so i just ordered bunch of items to use in it and to start building a rig. Oops.

Chassis:
- Axial SCX-10 Dingo Builders Kit
- Aluminium lower links and steering links
- Servo on axle
- Aluminium C-hubs sekä knuckles
- Aluminium lockable hex hubs
- CVD drive shafts
- Proline Powerstroke shocks
- Tough Armor tube bumpers
- Axialin black beadlock wheels with gray rings
- Pro-Line Interco TSL SX Swamper 1.9 G8 tires
- 20/87 gearing

Electrics:
- Axial stock 2,4ghz rx/tx
- Castle Creations Sidewinder Sv2 speedo
- Integy Lathe 35t motor
- 3,5mm bullett connectors for motor, XT60 connectors for batteries
- Savöx SC-0251MG servo in front
- Zippy 1500mah 20C 3S1P lipo's

Body:
- MB Actros 4143 vm. 2002 (Bruder)

This is what has happened in couple days:








Next to do:

- Cabin's fastening
- Inner fenders
- Flatbed

Other concerns:
- Need more firm foams to front tires
- Front bumper sucks

Here's little video of the first little testing at the balcony

fastening rings (whats the correct name?) for cargo net.. some scale items and testing how it would look with couple spare tires. Seems i have to order some rims and tires.


Air intake done also: (maybe dip the foam in blue motul airfilter oil for some more realism?)
