I love this truck, first class engineering and modelling, and great attention to detail. It will be excellent when finished. :thumbup:

Thank you so much, now when I made some test front short and long lights

The other day I found this toy at a flea market, I changed the cables, I've cleaned and works perfectly, I put some photos

As you can see is a military reflector, is the right size to attach it to the truck, I have to modify the hitch wearing and not if you change the wheels by other larger or only slightly lower the shaft relative to the rest of the trailer that the proper height for the truck, also'll have to make some tinkering paint and others, in order, the first is the bus, greetings and thanks again

I had several of these with maintenance bodies on them I was in the service running repair units in Germany. The older gasser versions could be made to make quite an explosive sound if they had their ignitions turned off for second or two when running on the highway then switching it back on.
Glad to see someone making an rc model of it that is so good looking. Excellent work.

I love this build but really would appreciate more detail about the drive system please, the axles look really interesting and using servos sounds like a brilliant way of doing things. The detailing on the model is fantastic. Well done! Alwyn
