Re: any one have a 18 wheeler???

looks nice, just needs some body work from the look of the pics, and some paint. Im not sure how well that power wheels motor will work as they are deisgned for much bigger vehicle that needs low rpm and lots of torque, so im not sure how well that will work. keep us updated, look sto be pretty nice.

Yea it needs to be sanded primed and painted . The body is made out of cast pot metal and the trailor is made out of steel so its gonna weigh a little bit .

I`m hoping it will work out ok . It realy don`t need to be fast as long as it will pull the loaded trailor and the car hauler trailor I`ll be making
