Zil truck cab?

Got a chance to bench test the new board. I might want to pick up more of these speakers. If they also work well with the das mikro they could be very handy.

OK, got the second of three possibilities for a tank hauler, the Bruder lowboy.

If you're out there, Will, I ain't heard from you for a bit so I'm hoping I haven't ticked you off and you're still willing to help with your awesome fifth wheel set up. When I was in (circa 1979) we had 5 ton tractors that looked a lot like the M35 and had both a fifth wheel and a clevis hitch (they hauled it all, from tankers to flatbeds to commo trailers), and I think a WPL M35 would be perfect for a role like that.

Still waiting for the Kane lowboy, but I believe that to be mostly metal so weight might be an issue. The Bruder set up is all plastic. I think with a two speed gearbox a WPL truck would easily pull the Bruder set-up even with an all metal Sherman or M-36 on board. Opinions?

Thanks to Chase (Roboticus prime) for his advice and steering us in the right direction.

You may need a bigger motor? I run a very torquey upgraded 540 motor on my Dragon Wagon, all metal trailer with a Tamiya Sherman on the back.

Hi Max, you have the esc channel reversed that's why the brake sound keeps screeching, it thinks its reversing all the time. Change the direction on the radio and the polarity on the motor cables and you should be in business

Cheers, Lee.

The 2 speed upgrade box comes with a 380, should be big enough for what Max is towing

That's what I'm thinking, and I'll be building a special truck to haul the trailer and will definitely have the two speed gear box. I'd like to use the new truck board from Imex, and that has provisions for the 2 speed tranny, but I wouldn't be able to do servo operated ramps. I do have a four channel pistol grip spektrum so maybe I'll try that.
