Re: Building an RC Big Rig

I'm still alive, I just got involved with my new toy that I picked up. I took a different direction for awhile.



For now, I'm back to the truck. I just ordered a cargo trailer for it, anyway, as you last saw the fenders were cut out.

To make it a Peterbilt, I had to slide the front axle forward, maybe a half inch.


I moved the leaf springs perches and shackles about 3\8" forward by drilling new holes and tapping them. I ground off the excess perch.




I then ground off the rivets and slid the axle forward another 1\4"





Filled the fender wells, so I can make new fenders
