fg semi ?

[blackrain]

Could some one help me with what parts are needed to convert a fg sportsline to a fg semi?

I know I need the wheels
part 6417 front
part 6419 rear
part 3108 front wheel cover
part 3109 rear wheel cover
The body
what else is there, does it use different mounts?
my sportline is the 535 mm length
your help is much appreciated

Thanks looks like everything is pretty much the same except wheels and maybe rear mount.
Thanks i didn't think anyone would answer this post.

im sure theres a spacer plate that goes under the a+b bulkheads and it should also use a thicker diff raiser this will bring the chassis back down cause the lorry wheels are a bit taller which lifts the chassis, I think it more for the evo spec chassis

Just picked up my new toy today and future semi truck

I cant seem to decide which body I like more. I have been debating this for a whole month wich body you guys like more or looks better in person?

The classic looking long nose for me, in Caterpillar black / yellow colours.

I finally decided to go with the red body. I drove the car today for the first time it has way to much torque even with the 2 speed. I had a tough time keeping it straight at take off. The semi wheels will help a bit with the launch because there larger, but i would still like to raise the 2 speed gears for more top end to reduce all the torque.this thing must have a 28 or 29 cc engine on it. Whats the highest gear ratio for a fg onroad 2 speed and clutch bell?

I might be interested in it if the price is right. Is it in good shape? Can you post some larger pics of it? Maybe some links to pics in a Photobucket account rather than little thumbnails?

 

[blackrain]

I will take some pictures of it with my cannon camera instead of my cell phone. If I decide to cellI will most likely list it for 50 bucks with 25 dollar shipping

Thanks for the pics. It appears to be a bit rougher than I thought. I'm going to order a new one.

I was leaning more towards white because I have the mercedes atiago decals and all my other cars are white
