This little project is getting close to completion, and soon we'll be on standby waiting for parts for the powered ramps. I'll do a post showing all the features and how I did them pretty soon. But for now I have to remember to thank Will for sending me the fifth wheel stuff, it's proven to be just the ticket.
Here's an earlier photo of the tractor, it's had a lot of upgrades, like two speed gearbox, the new electronics board (this little thing is fantastic - for $45 US I get sound, light control, two speed tranny, and a winch, or in my case, power to the ramps, all right from the tiny little TX). The tires and rims are pricey (more than the damn truck itself) but man, are they finest kind. Imex Erik is looking into tires with a proper WWII combat tread, and if he's successful I'll be a happy camper. BTW, the tires are DAKA, the rims are aluminum and they fit right on the WPL/JJRC axles.
More to come ...
