building my ttt,

[marc12]

well im kind of keeping this as a journal for my ttt building,
even thoe im almsot done,
the electronics i had trouble the most figuring out,
but im all set, i got a ford f150 body i hope to paint, i also got a hummer im going to build a ttt out of next,but the hummer has limted space, so i just might go with the 5manT next...

for my first truck, i sat in school drawing diagrams to see exacly how i should do it,

it took me a few days to build since i was loaded with school work...(4 days it took me)
i just got the motor runing in it now, i need to hook it up and latch it to the gears,

my first ttt i just made rwd, i hope to make 4wd then all wd to how many wheels i have on a truck,
so far its great just need some tweaking to do then im done.
but im gladd to finaly get into the ttt hobbie!

also while im at it,
has anyone ever built a 10 wheel oil truck?
im thinking about building like a 1:64 ttt oil truck for my dad on his bday, since he owns a oil truck company

Hi Marc,
what kind of 10 wheeler oil truck?
Do you hav a picture of it?

I think this is not realy a problem. In the trailer is enough space for the electronic and the batterys.
So you have to build the servo and the gearline in the truck.
for example:
5.2 gramm servo in the sleep cabine or on the drivers seat.
In the driveline a "1:120 LKW Antrieb" from mikroantriebe.de or a selfmade gear.
If you want to power both rearaxles so have a look at www.mikromodell.de In "Tips" "rearaxles" I put some small drawings as a how to.

Speedcontroler, reciver and batterys are on you own choice (or what is availible at your local dealer). I think the room inside the trailer is good for "large" components.

best regards

Thorsten
