Mission Accessories eXtreme!
This toy truck as a steerable front axle and a rail system on the back to slide on multiple accessories for different missions. The front bumper includes slots for front mounted accessories. Windows can also be printed in a variety of colors, and simply pressed into the slots in the main truck body, to be held in by friction.
The base vehicle posted here includes a fifth wheel for a trailer that's in the works. I'm also nearly complete with a dump truck and fire truck accessory, which are pictured with this posting. The firetruck should be ready before Thanksgiving and the Dump Truck should be ready before Christmas.
I do plan to post the dimensions for the rail mount system so other can develop their own accessories, and will also upload the original FreeCAD files, when I get more time.
Other planned mission accessories:
Snow Plow
Cherry Picker
Mobile Crane
Trash Truck
R/C Backpack (this will be a slide-on kit that will add R/C functionality to the existing based vehicle).
Missile Launcher
The only extra material required for assembly is assorted M3 screws.
This design was inspired by and dedicated to my newborn son.
