Currently figuring out the chassis length.

Ben I am already envious just because you have a scale drawing.

Where in the world do you find something like that ?

I got it from Mack trucks Australia. Most truck manufacturers have brochures on there websites. I scaled the drawing up to 1/24 from a brochure/spec sheet

That's a handy tool for the build Ben, good stuff mate

cheers mate

[cowboy rich]

Great idea Ben thanks for sharing it

[Bennyg]

Got the chassis rails from Sour Krauts. Will be reshaping the front to look like r series chassis rails. The Auslowe Mack cross members fit perfectly. t

[Bennyg]

Bit of a mock up. Still figuring out positions for the battery boxes and fuel tanks.

[Old Buckaroo]

Ben, mock ups can really consume the time and test the patience level.  Your frame is nice - nothing to have to file off or fill in.

I really like those fuel tanks

R Series chassis rails in progress. Just need to tidy them up.

[Tesla]

[jacobus]

[Helix]

Ben, things are coming along nicely mate!

Like the tanks, mine are the Auslowe old school pvc pipe with resin ends !!

I'll just have to work with it because I'm on a tight budget 

[Bennyg]

Hopefully have the rails together tomorrow. The front suspension is going to be the most work. I plan to mould the r series front suspension and modify it. 

[Bennyg]

Chassis rails are together. Front suspension will be scratch built from modifying an amt r series front suspension.

That's a nice truck. I can't wait to see your build of it.

[Bennyg]

March Report. Nothing done except thinning the paint ready for the airbrush. I've got university studies and have to finish a couple of other builds (T904 KW and tamiya gullwing) on at the moment but will update you when I get a chance. Will feel good to get the other gear off the bench. Clear mind then to continue the project.

Ben, What you've done thus far looks good ! Good luck with you studies , Will be looking for next update. Be Well Gator

That frame is looking good! You're using the same frame rails that I am on my H model. I only wish that I would have ordered Auslowe cross-members like you did, that was a good call.

Auslowe do great stuff. I'm awaiting their 1/24 r series cab and Australian superliner bonnet/hood.
