Changing track width on wpl truck
Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2017 10:07 am
I have been looking at the components for the new GAZ truck and after examining the axle assembly (as close as I could from the pics) I think it should be possible to print new axle components and modify the drive shaft to enable modification of the track width.
The reason for doing this is that I want to build a Scammell Pioneer, but the existing truck track width is too short by approx 20mm, and I'm not prepared to pay Tamiya truck prices for axles. Accordingly I have ordered 4 back axles and 2 front axles,

plus a component GAZ truck
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362179332185
and once they all arrive I will be starting a thread on my attempts to customise the axles
