My First Truck: Opel "blitz" and mystery 5ton.....
 

i ordered a "blitz and a 5ton smoething from roco and i will be starting in on my first tttt.....i will post pics when they arive

ok, heres what im getting:

and here is the blitz:

That first one is awesome! Where did you order them from?

*edit* Nevermind. I guess I should have read the ORDERED FROM ROCO part.:rolleyes:

i ordered them fron waltheres but they are both roco(that happens to be my favorite manufacturer for all things.....all my trains on my layout are roco)

ive got the radio and servo (i have extra's from my micro flight aircraft) and i just need a lipoly and the motor setup.........im looking foward to finishing this:D

ill post pics of my test subject later tonite........

this is my testbed and or guiny pig, a Liaz flatbed:

another shot:

:ö: you're truck looks great man ;)... but i think your rx looks big :(.. have you tried the pico r-4p rx?

-æ

i have test fitted it for size in the beds of two other of my trucks, the truch shown above is one of the smaller ones and the plastic shell on the recever can come off..........with a li-poly cell it should not be a problem....( i am not going to use anymore multi cell packs...they are to big and heavy....)......anyway, i guess ill have to wait and see if the stuff fits when the trucks arive............


btw.......should i go for a trial truck or just a rc truck for crusing around the layout?


thanks for your concern and help with getting me started in this great hobby!:D:D:D:P

:ö: i would suggest for you to make a trial truck... with low gear ratio... i know you won't resist to try a 1/87 off-roading ;)

thats what i was leaning too........plus i can use a trial truck as a daily driver as well but a plain old rc cant do trials worth a didly squat!

thanks for the help!

i just got order conformation on these 2 truck and they should arive in 5 days +or-.........:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D




(they really should make a TTTT icon for the smilies.........)

looking forward to seeing your work
