Hi,
to start with a 1/87 Truck, it a very good idea to use a 2-axle truck like the ROCO-MAN. Only powered the rear axle and steering the front axle.
Overlander has a very good intruction to do so.
So you have a good working truck in a short time. Maybee you second truck is a smaller one with a long time to build.
best regards
Thorsten
