MRC MAN 6x6

[Big Mike]

The body is very nice looking. Lots of detail. Hard to believe it's from a toy.

I'm kinda liking the departure from the typical 6x6 axle arrangement...

There are several members that have been running two turning front axles. The rig turns much better than dragging two rear axles.

Not sure how I missed this, but I'm glad I found it! Very nice build. Those Braduer cabs make nice conversion pieces. There's a ton of guys on scale4x4 that convert the bull dozers to RC.

thanks buddy. and i agree, these bruder cabs are great. i used a lot of parts off the toy itself for this build so far. i have a few more parts from it that i want to use. hopefully i can

indeed slick. the turning radius of this rig is the same if not a tad tighter than the scx10's in my stable.

and thank you too buddy. i appreciate the kind words. i have yet to venture over to the forum you mentioned. now im interested. gonna have to take a look.

this weekends plans are to make the tabs to attach the bed to the rails. and maybe start the pan hard for the pass thru axle. again, i'm just doing this on a "will this work" kind of basis. this is the first time tackling a project like this. jmz6 and dirty have helped me and guided me more than i can ever express. without those two i would have a pile of axles and a cab.
