I'd much rather restore one than buy one in nice condition, because I like working on stuff, ya know?

I think the creator should make a flatbed and then lie on that and drive himself around.

Its a shame he put wheels like that on it, with the ammount of money he spent on it he should at least get some custom made alluminum rims w/ truck tires.

I thought you said it was 1/14 scale at first LB. Then I realized that those were 1/5 scalers in front of it in the 2nd pic

This Aeromax has the electrical unit installed, but not the MFU.. so no sound effect, nor vibration unit..

Still, pretty cool!

Hey LB did you get the electronic speed control on your Aeromax or does the the 3 speed already gives a good control of it indoors?

The MFU also acts as an ESC! It has great control that you can drive it VERY slowly if you want!

Yes, w/ 3-speed, you can drive it extra slow if you want, ha!!

Paint -> is it easy to mount the F-350 tranny into the semi chassis?? Just want to see if it is easy to do a conversion to have a 4WD or 6WD semi...

Is it? Same thing, but you'll have to mod the case of the semis (2 outer shells) to fit the F350, as the F350's doesn't use 4 tabs to mount to the frame, there are holes in the frame and blocks and holes on the shells to be screwed in to. There are 8 total. I can get a pic tonight.
