Steiger project (body change to tiger III st470)

[rcguy_18]

I spent the holiday fabing up the new body for the steiger project. This one is of the biggest steiger series III tractor family the St-470. Also I am going to attempt to make the model pull two scraper pans. The detail parts i will make out plastic for fear of disturbing the metal work I have done already.

Nice work on the body. I know that thing has some stones so pulling 2 ought to be fun.

what do the pans run on?? servos? or hydraulic?

[rcguy_18]

no servos are in the tractor at all. it all runs by motors and gear heads.

I had to make a new cab, paint don't like heat very well, nor does super thin alum. I have a couple of metal pieces to stick and then i will begin the plastic detail parts.

right green shade and black colors added. I am slowly adding detail to the tractor. Last I will hook up the lights. Once the parts arrive I will get the second scraper running and make a video.

digitial camera is broken, so i cant post pics. Some of members will have to see it at indy. I could not get a couple of tires for the other scraper, so I will run just one this year. FGD and izzy, the stegier is ready to pull
