A movie showing it in action would be nice. It looks like some old COE trucks:

Why have you geared down servo?

A very nice model and thanks for the introduction!

I cannot really judge the motorization, because I that's not my expertise, but for the rest it looks very well done! I also like the fact that you used your imagination instead of trying to build an existing model. You don't see that very often with this kind of realistic builds.

Did you also use shockabsorbers for the suspension? Would be nice if you could post some closeups of the suspension and the steering.

Okay :) I will do a video

I have a geared down servo because it is connected to the steering rack with 6l Steering Links.

Thanks  

It´s hard to show suspension etc. But i will build a little example and post the pics.

I like front wheel arches and nearby small yellow panels. Whole model looks so clean. Will be nice to see a video and suspension details.

This is where the springs are located. I used 16 Springs 

Suspension at the Back:

Youtube Video which shows the Suspension: 

The full video will be added if the trailer is finished (tomorrow)

I agree with the other members about the area around the front wheelarches, very nicely done. The whole model looks really good

I only count 12, where are the 4 secret springs ?

All axles look very sturdy. If I understand correctly the rear axles are mounted to the chassis with springs only. The setup might give some stress on the drive axle between the two rear axles when the suspensions are not compressed equally.

I also like the front wheel archs. Would be nice if they could somehow be mounted to the chassis or cabin at the backside too.

Still I think this is a very nice and good looking build!

Very nice truck, especially at your age. I like the simplicity of the design, all the important details are there, but not too many.
