I just had to do it some time, and I felt the time was now :)
I've just slightly modified the Silver Truck by first exchange almost all
grey parts with black parts. And then add an extra set of wheels.
Look at this picture:

ouch.. a bit long URL...
But after moderation you can see the pictures here:

Next step is to add a trailer, then I going to fit some motors for steering
and drive to be controlled by the RCX.
Last I'm going to try to make an "clamp" mechanism where the trailer is
connected to the truck, so I can release the trailer without doing it
manually.
Anyone have comments for the variation and/or ideas for this clamp
mechanism?
Regards
