This project is based on a JJRC Q60. You can also use a WPL B16, which is even better. The Q60 is quite ugly and recently I discovered semeivan’s Russian ZIL-131 cab on Thingiverse. So I decided to 3D print this cab and to design a couple of accessory parts like windscreen wipers, fuel tanks, headlight lenses, headlight protectors etc. They will be available on my Thingiverse. The new front cross member and the servo clamp are already available. Details like mirrors are still missing. Please tell in the comments, what kind of rear end you would like to see on this truck. Maybe a ZIL-137 tractor / semi truck for rocket trailers? Or a classic bed?
