To keep the design simple and easy to use the hardware required is commonly found. All rotating parts that need bearings use a 10x15x4mm bearing. All connections are made with M3 screws. A Standard Servo is used for steering and Micro servos for the lift axle and fifth wheel. The motor mount is for the common 540 size motor. The wheels and tires are fully printable. However, if you wish to purchase wheels or tires instead, they are the common size found on 1/14 scale trucks. You can also mix them, printing the rim and buying the tire.
