    Default MAN TGX 26.540 6x4 XLX build question

    RC Soup
    Hello everyone,
    I am new to the forums. I was wondering how some of your ran the wires in the loom provided in the kit through the truck chassis for the MFC-01 kit so that it doesn't snag on anything. I have built another Tamiya RC before a Fiat Abarth Berlina Corsa 1000TCR which I still own and operate. This is my first Semi/Tractor Trailer.
    Your inputs would be really appreciated.

    I ran the wire down the side of the gearbox and through the frame stretchers on my Scania R620

    Brel's at is a good one. You can also use heat shrink and Electrical tape. You will find small zip ties are your friends. I tend to use heat shrink or tape where the looms can be seen, the black hides well with the chassis.

    My Scania as originally built with the wires to the rear lights and control panel down the outside of the frames on the R/H side

    and as now with the wires hidden and the side skirts removed and a aluminium fuel tank fitted (aluminum for our USA cousins)

    Brel: I was wondering how you ran the wires from the rear lights/hitch through your frame stretchers? Did you have to drill sections of the frame stretchers to run the wires through them because the stretchers on my frame which i think is the same for your scania are solid when you first assemble it? I saw pictures of your scania in another post you had about your three trucks.

    I drilled a hole a bit bigger than the plugs on the wires in each of the stretchers the mercedes skip tuk had holes for the wires in the frame stretchers
