Mack DM800 Full Build 🔧
My second ever RC big rig build is in the books, and what a fun project it was! Using our CTC 01 chassis, and a Mack DM800 model kit from MPC, I built a super scale, fully functional model. There were a few challenges along the way but in the end I'm very happy with how this truck turned out, especially the patina paintjob, and this all new wheel design. As always, I really enjoyed the process of putting this truck together, and I hope I can pass along some ideas and inspiration to any fellow builders out there. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions about this project. If you're interested in building something similar, be sure to check out the links below. 👍
