Pretty easy with this truck. You can install a lst steering setup for the center wheels, as the lst1 chassis is basically mirrored front to rear. As for the rear wheels, I would have to redesign the brace, but it would not be too difficult to do. I would have to use either an 1/8 scale style bellcrank setup, or make a shortened version of the stock chassis to connect the front to the rear. Either way it would not be too difficult. I stuck with fixed wheels as I plan to jump this truck, and the fixed lst2 rear hubs are much stronger.

On a side note do you have a picture of you plastic welder? been wondering what that looks like?

I had contemplated building a cab for the front, but decided that a lexan body may be better as I do plan to beat the truck up...

I would like to do a larger scale semi build... Maybe I will keep a look out for a big body...

I have a smaller 6x6 that I am working on, it use tamiya tlt live axles. I plan to make a flat front semi style cab out of brake tube (mimic the shape of a semi cab at least) and have a full tilt/sliding bed like a flat bead wrecker. That way I can drive my scale crawler truck on it!
