Overlander's MAN 5 Ton Project
I will post all of my construction photos for my MAN 5ton truck here.
I want this truck to be assembled completely with fasteners using no glue at all. This way I can modify and/or rebuild it as necessary.
Of course you don't have to do this when you build a TTT but this is just something I wanted to do.
First pic is of the initial design:

These are some initial shots of the frame in prototype.
I want both exls to articulate. The rear axle/gearbox is suspended at a balance pivot point to allow it to swing side to side.

Further development of chassis.
My 3D CAD model allowed me to vizualize the interference between the servo and the chassis. This allowed me to notch the main chassis rail to accomodate the servo housing.

Showing front view. Notice the 1.5mm holes in the front of the chassis to mount the drivers cab.

Asembled with simple steering linkage. Also note the spreings on either side of the gearbox. These will be adjusted.

1/87 rc truck parts are mostly handmade/fabricated, but there is one shop that sell 1/87 TTTT parts, all you have to do is add the electronics.... but there was a report that those part are of poor quality... am not sure though haven't tested one of his product yet, but hey it's your call. -æ
