aawsum Posted January 2, 2010 That second axle looks really good on it. I also like how you added the clips to attach the chain on it, simple, but effective. Nice job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milan Posted January 2, 2010 I feel like you should extended flatbed, to match double axles on the back. Chains are really nice touch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted January 3, 2010 Nice. Interesting way to attach and reduce the slack on the chains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Posted January 3, 2010 Nice MOD. The attachment of the chains is pretty clever (and simple!) indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curtisrlee Posted January 3, 2010 Wow, I really like the chain idea! PS are you ZachMG or Mind Game Studios on YouTube? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zach M. Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) Wow, I really like the chain idea! PS are you ZachMG or Mind Game Studios on YouTube? No, that's not me. The chain idea just came to me after I couldn't find enough 1 x 2 with Arm Ups in white. I only had 3... ;) I'm suprised that nobody caught my modified wind turbine rig in the background.

lightningtiger Posted January 3, 2010 Very nice additions to that truck 'Zach M' ! Chain idea is very clever, though I agree with 'Milan' a little on the length of the actual tray top since it has an extra rear axle. Looks like you have taken the colour selection from the 7990 cement truck of 2007 - good work ! Keep up the great work 'Zach M' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like you have taken the colour selection from the 7990 cement truck of 2007 - good work ! Keep up the great work 'Zach M' ! Now that you mention I did but that wasn't intentional. When I first modified it I had light gray and all blue. It didn't look like an official set. So I went back to the drawing board on it and kept messing with it. While deciding on the colors I kept making it sturdier and can't believe how solid it is now. I played around with making the bed longer but decided against it. Thanks for the input guys. I will have some more up soon....hopefully whenever I get some time. Edited January 3, 2010 by Zach M. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
