Latest rig...a little something different!

[cfnutcase]

Well this is something a bit different for you all, it is a tamiya 1:14 scale remote control truck/trailer. these are the most amazing things to build and drive! Has real leaf type springs, aluminum ladder frame, 3 speed trans. It resembles the international 4270 cabovers but it is called a "globeliner". The trailer is also all aluminum, with real wood flooring. I have about 3 weeks and around a grand in the rig so far but it is a blast! You can go onyoutube and see videos of them in action, just type in "tamiya semi truck". Jim

It is kinda a model, it is all just nuts and bolts, not glue! Jim

I've seen a couple of these being used. Pretty cool little getup. The tractor trailer driving school in our area actually bought them for classroom instruction for backing tractor trailers as they behave the same way the 1:1 trucks do. The bought like 2 dozen of these things and the students love messing with them.
