The only problem with that, Wayne, is that if you build the SS100 in that scale i'll be having evil thoughts about building a 1/6 V2 to tow behind it, and then of course i'll want to make the V2 fly, then they'll call me a terrorist, the FBI will come, handcuffs will be involved, and not in the freaky fun way, and it will just be a big mess. On the other hand, I really ain't got nothin' better to do, so bring it on!!

Thanks, I had alot of fun doing it and it was great bringing some.working parts into it.
I feel it is better than the other options available on the market for same scale. I not saying that with a big head or anything, but the ones I seen are over priced and very basic.
I also upgraded the cannon tonight with working elevation.
The pak 40 is being a right _ _ _ _ _ lol

Bravo, Mon Frere, Bravo. Did you have to narrow the axles to get the split-rims on the back of the truck?
If you like the Model T era stuff there's a few good diecast models out there from places like Danbury and Franklin Mints, and this piece from Gearbox Collectibles. True 1/16, and then there's 1/18th. Don't get me started showing photos of those!
Too heavy to RC, but cool nonetheless.

Oh my that looks amazing, don't worry you can share pictures with me on pm. Awesome stuff.
As for the truck, no need to shorten the axle, just careful design of the split rim with narrower tyres

Ok so the Mack M123 dual winch prime mover truck is coming along, however i have made the winch as small as possible and it does look maybe 10-15% too large. But i going to go with it as if i make smaller it will break. Winch test will be coming once motors arrive in like several months lol
This truck is the one running 2x2slipo in series and a seperate 2s lipo for the winches will have its own esc i think.
Here's a picture to show how heavy the truck is, it doesn't roll over as it has soo much weight on it. Good job it has full metal drivetrain and wheels etc.
Can't wait to get this on a trial run, next we need BIG trailer to haul
