Vintage Tonka Winnebago RC Conversion, Part 2, Axles & Interior

Be sure to check out my Amazon Influencer page here: amzn.to/2U12C2l
I will be adding items to my store all the time and all proceeds go right back into the channel!
In part 2 I work out the easiest way to hang my tamiya semi truck axles under the mini winni. And the interior just kind of works out perfectly. However I broke my trans (insert face-palm here) But stay tuned part 3 will be out friday when we get to test drive this bad boy!

    The raised front floor is actually more like the real thing and it worked out better than I thought it would looks good

    Dude the winabago build is super cool. It worked out great as far as having room for electronics an battery without having to put it in the interior. That build has a ton of potential man!

    Hey Everyday! That camper is great and sits perfect it look like there's lights on inside with that yellow glass in the windows! We use to have a Brave model Winny back in the day for motocross to drag the trailer with the bikes inside! Maybe a ladder on the back and air conditioner on top, good Sam club sticker on back and a spare tire! Great builds!😉

    I went to the winnebago plant in 1972 and got one of those given to me. When I was a teenager we sat on it and rode it down a hill folded it in half. Been looking for one for about 2 years want to make a rc out of one. Who would have thought that it would be a collector's toy. Every kid in my town had one. So kool.

    Awesome project guy ! I'm also a Tonka Toy Collector ( and customizer ) and I have the same Winnie sitting on the shelf waiting for me to get into it , like your posts a lot . I'm going to try and use a 3 speed trans from a Scania Semi that I have on hand as well as the axles . Best to you , Jim

    I can't believe I came across this video. I have one of these campers and I've been looking at it for like 2 years thinking wouldn't it be funny to power it. My idea was to pull a trailer behind it with one of my crawlers. It's very big. Bigger than it seems on camera

As for a trailer hitch I've found the Xtraspeed hitch for Scx10 for around $10.00 , I also have one from China that bolts on the face of the rear bumper and looks super scale and it's cheap (around $5.00 or so shipped)!

    You have to loosen some of the bolts/screws on the motor mount of that reduction box. I had the same issue on my custom build a couple years ago. I know it seems counterintuitive to leave anything loose on a gear box, but I've got a lot of hours mine running like that.
