5mm should do it. If you do that I'll print a new kit and use this one for a standard WC51, and make the camera car from the new design.

I had a look at it in CAD and I think a lift kit is not out of the question - that way you'd not need to tear the truck apart...
On the other hand a new set of frame rails would be easier to work with.
I'll have a play and see what works...

That's just great T6. I'm still totally in awe of how you do that stuff. Sometimes I think if I asked you to design a lamp it would actually contain a Genie!

This is a BIG thing for all of us wanting metal and still keeping a good looking axle shape

maybe this also, may help Gary with the lifting on the WC51 also without printing new chassis?

Ok so i know this is not strictly WPL truck related, but it did start it all off for me haha.
I have been quiet recently as i working on a commision build, this truck is just bonkers
The truck cab inside has 3d printed custom roll cage with cross bracing and will help give strength back to the truck cab which is cut up. I have reclined the seats inside and will set back the steering wheel with a mad driver.
Flip front cab to allow access tohidden electronics.
Need a cheap smoker if anyone has got good ideas as i need to smoke these exhausts up. 2nd hand?
Also need cheap sound emulator, should i get a das mikro??
This build is on very tight budget.
Wheels 3D printed custom
Tyres 1/14 Tamiya truck
Axles off a 4x4 crawler & 2 speed gearbox
Mounted mad brushless motor with esc.
Have Tamiya light kit for it aswell
Drive is 6x4 only. The front axles is free wheel but the whole suspension setup my own design
5th wheel is not my design, but only to get idea of mockup. It needs to be larger, plus i am almost there with my own design 5th wheel to work in conjunction with servo.
Plus it can swivel and rotate on 2 axis so should be cool for offroad capabilities also
