carsntrucks4you Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited January 17, 2021 by carsntrucks4you
HJK Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 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

Take care, Juergen Hallo Hans-Jürgen, 1) Ich nutze Fusion 360 2 )ja 3) ich drucke auf Photon S oder Photon Mono X Sorry in english please! 1) I'm using Fusion 360 2) yes 3) I'm using a Photon S or a Photon MonoX Edited January 19, 2021 by carsntrucks4you
HJK Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 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

carsntrucks4you Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 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.
Mopar - D Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 This is going to be a very interesting build. I like how you are able to print your missing parts.
gotnitro? Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Good looking truck ! Really like the new 3d printed mounts
carsntrucks4you Posted May 3, 2021 Author Posted May 3, 2021 Here some new pictures of a mostly forgotten project
gatorincebu Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 Nice project. Awesome work on the printed battery box mounts . Will be following this build ! Be Well Gator
