Yes i think i am known now for the mad builds.
Unfortunately this is a little to big and doesn't share the right parts to go in the HL Truck build thread.
So this is for the Big Actro Rat.

Later on tonight i need to print out the Upper shock brace and the mounting plate.
Then i can start to complete how the front end will sit.
We also have some hubs designed to sit inside the beam for steering

Will you have been watching too many episodes of Sin City Motors Steve Darnell Welderup! (UKTVPLAY for those who haven't seen it). :crazy: :haha: :haha:

A very interesting build though.
