Are you going to run those shocks, or a shorter set? seems a tad high.

Ya i'm thinking the same thing but it all have have right now which are 110mm ..i do have 4 rc4wd 80mm shocks but missing 2 but i think they might be to short . it's all guess work hope fully a can get her dial in.
I'll have to buy esc and thinking of trying some inner spring shocks..
Maybe too the body is high and it's at it's lowest point and the wheels are 1.9...

yes the front shocks are taken from the Axial EXO which is long gone and are front they are 100mm and the rear are old chinese 110mm..I'm thinking if i go 80mm might be to small..I'll try to find some the are 90mm.

Default What am i getting myself into..too late

well decided to take the Bruder apart so that i could paint the interior and motor and what ever else needs to be painted...
it took me like 1/2 hr just to take one smoke stack off and ended up breaking one clip on both of them the rest should click right back together..if there's any body that want to take these thinks apart good luck..lol..



great tool to get around corners....

You know they build them so 6-10 yr olds can't take them apart and swallow the little pieces. Unfortunately, if you had given it to your kid or the neighbors they would have had it apart faster than you

Ya really.... they would have gotten so frustrated they end smashing it up just to get it to come apart..but all is good and the parts are painted up and ready to be put back together..
But on a side note,well built..

Ok been kinda slow going ,trying different ways on how to go about this so dump truck and salt truck,GONE.So for now the easiest and most common one to build is the rollback...
this is how far my progress is..

I cut these on a 90* angle but didn't bend they way i wanted and once together it didn;t look right so I ended up cutting the rear part of the rollback sqaure looks better...

I decided to use scale bolts to attach the bottom rail for the rollback but after the fifth bolt my 3mm socket crack so i had to improvise and decided to make one....

thanks man i try to do the the best i can.it was a little tricky at first but leaving it sit for a day or so just cleans the head for other ideas.Still have to find a place for the battery and for the electronics and some side panels to hide the motor and other things..

well still hacking away at this .I had a spare shock strut that came from my BMW convertible top boot cover it wasn't any good but good enough for this application compressed 4'' extended is 9 1/2''.. I also made up the battery tray right behind the cab.

Sooooooo where was i ,oh ya electronics...
What you see in the pics is the stuff going in ,nothing to fancy more or less stuff i had lying around,like fairly old motor it's a kyosho ST 360 motor, tamiya TBLE-02s Brushless - Sensored or Brushed Capable,can either go brushless or brushed, multiple choices.New XT60-L new design no need for shrink tube,old school RX Spektrum SR3000.I didn't bother to waterproof anything cause i don't plan on submerging my Mack Attack hopefully most of the groments and wire looms and a little die-electric grease will at lease prevent the water from getting in the tool box that will house the electric stuff..
On with the show this is it.....

So was going to wait to post but i'll do it now..
Time for paint and assembly just your basic fastkoat black and Make It Stone Krylon paint to give it the rough look....
Also trimmed some of the aluminum and soften up the edges a bit.

I needed to make some sort of clip,strap,hold down what ever you call it to hold the other part of the ramp when in it's storage state...So like most of us do and i keep saying this that i stole from some one on here...
