My Man5t TTTT just built it

[Jimbob454]

Well here it is: Took about 30 hrs to build. I used quite a bigish reciever so I had to fit two of the batteries in the cab. It's my first TTT.

Btw if you reckonise my truck: I'm TimTheToolman from MRCC

I started off with the man5t I brought off Binary terror.

[Comrade_Boris]

the green one is the one im hoping to use as my trial truck, the red one is the test bed......

Very nicely done! I wish my train store would get my Man 5T in, but its backordered from Roco:( My Internatinoal Box Truck tttt should be done soon, maybe this weekend:D

PS What electronics, gears are you using? Looks like micro servo gears, but where did you get the worm/brass gears?

I'm using one micro servo gear, and the brass gears are: The one on the drive axel is a pinnion gear of a 280 size motor and the worm gear is out of a n guage train.

I made the gear box out of a peice of square stock and two train wheels turnned down.

[Comrade_Boris]
