I didn't even think of that when you said it and I recently saw a pic of a Pete just like that with like 48" tires and a crazy 5th wheel hitch with it's own suspension.

The servo will be in the kits engine, it almost looks like it was made for it.

The steering servo is almost a perfect fit in the model engine so that's where I put it, seen this done by other people in different scales. I used screws to hold the engine together and mount it to the chassis so it can be taken apart if needed. Then I removed the spring from the servo saver and cut it down to a lower profile. The steering linkages are from a big paperclip.

Glad you guys like it. I want to build a flatbed for crawlers and maybe a heli and I also want to build a Nascar style transporter. Wish I had more time to work on it but I have done a few things and will post them soon.

This thing is awesome! Love the servo hidden in the engine, that is slick scale goodness! Keep it coming!

The fifth wheel turned out better than I thought it would. Basically I just made it like a full size, looking at a couple of pics and diagrams, freehand cut all the parts with my Dremel. The black parts are delrin plastic and the handle is a paper clip. I felt like I was making a watch and I spent about 6-8 hours designing and building this.

nice micro engineering

The 6-8 hrs was well spent Dave
Killer work as always!

!? That's amazing, truly amazing. Think I'm going to stop doing build threads, they're are litteraly nothing in comparison.

Fantastic!

[Slambaam]

wheres the updates on this beast?!

[i luv duct tape]

your pics are gone!!!

[rcdave13]

Thanks for the comments!

I want to do full rear fenders but I also want to see all the wheels turning sometimes so I made a rear bumper with mudflaps that I can easily remove so I can put on the fenders. I will just hold it on with a couple small drops of CA.

Are you going to post pics of your build? The motor is installed a pictured above. The battery and esc will go under the bed in the sleeper.

Thanks, some say I have OCD and I'm cool with that.
