I'm going to build a 2WD OLD SKOOL TRUCK! Holy smokes, lately I have been hooked playing "Mud Runner - a Spintires Game" on my XBox One X. It is one of my favourite simulation "off road trucking" games. The physics are great, and so is the deep, deep mud. The game also gives you the ability to choose older style of lumber trucks - such as ones similar to this KiNG KONG RC "CA10" Tractor Truck Kit!
"Asia Tees", (an online RC distributor), suggested I had a look at this kit. This is a the scale replica of the American International KR-11 heavy duty tractor from the 1940s. I am so excited for this build, becuase its completely unique and a new challenge for me!
Here is some info from an article, linked below:
"Background:
The 1:1 CA10 was originally based on the American International KR-11 which was supplied in great numbers to the Soviet Union during WOII. It is a scale replica of the KR-11 and subsequent versions that were designed based on the original KR-11. They were used as tractor trucks and used in construction in the 1940s. It has close resemblance of the Dodge WWII Powerwagon. The subsequent CA10 was primarily a military truck and they were also produced into various civilian variants, including ambulance buses, fuel trucks , water tankers , dump trucks, lift trucks, construction vehicles, and fire trucks."
ARTiCLE & WHERE to GET THiS KiT/TRUCK:
(There are Two Versions distributed from Asia Tees, see the end of the article in the Link, above)
As a builder of scale trail trucks, that are usually based off of 4x4, all locked, all the time differentials - the appeal of this truck is large for me. I am now going to see how challenging it is to drive a 2wd truck. Being able to replicate some of my experiences in Spintires, in "real life", although in 1:12th scale - is still going to be a lot of fun for me. I am also interested, becuase of the unique leaf sprung suspension, as well as the dually tire aspect of it.
I am still stuck on whether I will lock the back differential or not. I'm leaning towards locking it.. only to have SOME chance on the trail... Time will tell.
