I'm building a Mack LT  . I use the complete kit  from AITM.   It is nice kit withe a big problem, the rims. These 11x22.00 tire are ok but the rims seems to be not 20" rims. They are too small for a 22" rim. I have to search my parts bin to find some new rims or print them either.

While watching a video on Youtube about  a Mack LT  2 axle truck I saw that the battery mount looks different to the one on the frame from AITM. So I made quick 3d model and start prininting. There are a few other things on the frame to improve but these are not that important.

Hi m.w., Interesting project. I'd like to ask a couple of questions. Which 3D-CAD program do you use to design the battery mounts? Do you print the parts yourself with your own 3D printer? What kind of printer do you employ? Looking forward to your next update. Take care, Juergen

Hi Michael, Thanks very much for your answer. Wow, your well equipped with the Photon Mono X. It's got a big build volume. I'm highly interested to see the printed parts. Juergen

First mockup of my Mack LT

I had remove part of the battery step and replaced it with my own battery mount. The chequer plate is from KFS. The rims will be positioned further out of the wheel.
