SHAWN Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 It's been a little while since I've had time to do any model conversions or modifications, So thought I'd have a go at turning a universal hobbies 7810 into a 2wd After a fare bit of cutting and shutting I managed to fit a front axle from a tw30 And use its front belly weight as the front weight, I have tried to make a more realistic rear linkage aswell Here's my progress so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAWN Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Linkage after first coat of paint, and put into place but not secured yet, So slowly coming together now, might even put some dual wheels on it yet,and not sure about original exhaust or a straight pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Agri Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Thats looking really smart, would look good with a 4m Massey 30 drill behind with the duals on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dm434 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 The original exhaust looks much better in my opinion shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I was thinking of putting some sort of cultivator on it, but a massey drill with abit work done to it might be an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Great work on her Shawn, I think it looks better with the standard exhaust and without duals myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAWN Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Thank you, the original exhaust is staying and the duals are removable so I'll see what they look like when it's finished, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
