It's scale, but different. - 11.06.2007, 03:11 AM

It's scale, so hopefully no one minds me sharing these photos of one of my other projects. It's a 1/16th scale Peterbilt tractor, built with parts and various kits from a German manufacturer, known as Wedico. Wedico doesn't really sell any complete kits. Instead you pick out what you need to build a truck that suits your desires, and then put the parts together. I'm fairly new to the RC trucking world, but I have always loved big heavy equipment. My truck is a heavy haul 6x6 with a working lift axle. It's got a three speed trans, similar to the Tamiya rigs, and the differentials are lockable, via radio control with a dedicated servo. My truck is still in the mock-up state, so it's mostly raw metal, but someday it will get painted and finished. I work on it when I get in the mood, and parts are expensive, so it's not an over night build. I've been going along for almost a year now. Anyway, I'll let the photos do the talking....
