1:14 scale RC SAMFS Scania fire truck.

[Robbo]

Cab is from a two door high-top Scania Tamiya kit, modified to a four door cab. The chassis which was to be for a semi trailer configuration was modified to carry an extra battery to power the head/ tail, auto reversing and stop lights as well as the emergency flashing lights, spot/work lights, horn and siren.  All of the circuit boards are housed in the cabs with the horn and siren speakers mounted in front cab roof. The power train comprises an electric speed controlled motor, 3 speed gearbox and true differential driving the rear wheels. The rear cab , ladder, hose reels, nozzles etc. were completely scratch built. The whole project took just over twelve months to build, starting late February 2016. The ladder locking/release mechanism is operational and the hydrant hard hose cabinet houses the battery charger connecting cables. Last picture is titled: 'David meets Goliath'.

Impressive build Kev, looks the part mate....

You've put this build in the wrong section, should be in the truck section....

Very impressive build, Kevin.  Fantastic details.  So this is R/C?  You can really drive it around?  Does it pump, too?

Thanks for the comment. Yes, it can be driven, but does not pump water. See the complete build & video clips at: http://public.fotki.com/Supt-Robbo/scania-114-scale-rc/ and the 'Run in carport' on Youtube;
