Just a quick sneak peak of the new model to come later this year

Renault AHx series of trucks, we will be doing a few variants with various wheel & tyre sizes and different rear loading decks

It is being designed as a kit to use certain parts from a now famous small RC truck brand, however we will be assembling a few aswell in time. As with all our models we will also be putting together so that it can be manufactured to various scales

As for the driveline, it will be kept simple, i plan on making it so that if you want to use existing stock motor and gearbox you can, however preferably it will be setup for a 370 geared motor unit running the truck as a 4x2 (meaning rear axle drive only)
Open diff or solid locked diff can be used, really depends on terrain being used on.

Do you intend to make an accurate static version w/o the use of any chinese toys parts?

I could do, the only issue with that is u then need to look at printing the chassis. I don't mind doing that on smaller lighter models.
I might be able to bend the metal chassis rails from a wpl and brace with 3dp parts to look as close as I can get and make fascia panels for the sides to make it look better.
At this stage the model could accept either, so I can design it to be interchangeable chassis later

We have also found AHZ 6x2 variant which will be added to the list

There are ambulance versions and all sorts, this could be quite exciting for a new model
