Volvo FH16 XL750 – Part 2

Part 3 of building the Volvo FH16 XL 750 RC Truck from Tamiya.

This part of the build uses the parts from parts bag B. This was mainly parts for the front. Like the leaf springs, dampers, and parts for the steering.

Every time I pick up the model, I am surprised by how solid everything is. But of course, the chassis is from metal and so far, most of the parts that you place on it are also from metal. But everything fits nicely, without many problems. This is my first RC Truck and things are different from what I was used to, but the way things are going and how satisfied I am with how everything is going, I don’t think that this will be my last RC Truck.

The models are not cheap, but you can see where you pay the money for.

And of course, this is my first RC Truck, and of course, things are new to me, so things take time to put together or to understand the instructions.

Now it is time to put all the spare parts from parts bag B to put them together and put them to the side. And time to open parts bag C and look at the parts, and place them in separate containers.

As far as I can see, in the instructions, it will be the rear differential and also the suspension.
