Looking forward to this project. Btw is it possible to turn the tamiya 6×4 mercedes truck into a 6×6 one without a new frame and new sets of diffs?
👏🇧🇷
Happy Thanksgiving Bob!!! Hope you have a fantastic day!! Thanks for the video! Looking forward to the rest.
Okay, I've been eyeballing the Lesu axles, and especially their mock airbag system, the single-bag version with the hinge in front and bag behind the axle.
Looks like the mock airbags would be easy to put a big booster spring inside, to carry heavier loads.
I was concerned about product quality, but if this project of yours shows they're solid, I might end up biting.
Also, do you know of any mockup air brake cylinders to attach to the axles? Or any "here you can glue these scrap bits together and paint them aluminium" scratchbuilds?
Custom building is always fun
Good job so far
I think I would leave the side panels off, and maybe put a none driven lift axle to fill the space. That rear bumper is an impressive piece. This will be quite the rig once you have all of it finished.
Nice video, great job on the chassis, can’t wait for the lightning part as i’m waiting on this to hook up my lights on mine 770s and it’s a lot of led with every lights installed.
OMG Bob, that's a winter project…Eager to see all videos and build going alone…wow
Happy Thanksgiving! Cant wait to see more progress!
Hi like watchin ur videos there grate wouldn’t it have bn easeyer to cut the frame frame the kite then cut the part from the long chassie n also I would have left the 2 servos up frunt as u get better steerin from it or u could have just cut the kit chassie in harf n added the length in middle would have made it love easeyer for u m8
Very cool build and it is looking good! Lots of odd hurdles anytime you are customizing things but it sure is fun!
Happy Thanksgiving

I would like to buy this one. Can you do one for me?
This looks like a lot of work but it's going to be awesome when it's done!
That is going to be a cool build. I’ve started doing more learn as I go projects – lots of fun. The SMD on the circuit board for the back is very slick and looks great all put together. I really like lots of lights as well so I’m staying tuned for Part 2. Looking forward to this build and it’s coming along nicely. Have a great day Bob.
