that ford isnt finished just yet, im currently building a gearbox for it

Re: aussie f250
 

Awesome looking truck! One question though, what's the plan for stability? Looks like it might tip over in a stiff breeze! Lol

Re: aussie f250
 

the front is higher than the back in the pics. so it will be the same as the back when done.

its quite wide, so i dont think it will just fall over :ror:

i can just add alot of weight to the wheels if needed.

Re: aussie f250
 

Lead filled wheels I think lol Try and get the battery as low slung as poss :)

Awesome looking truck already! Will be following this for sure!

Re: aussie f250
