Reconfirm the correct scale capacity selected.
The capacity of the scale model must always be greater than or equal to the sum of (A) the empty weight of the

2. Chassis Rail Width
The Trade Route module is built for standard truck chassis widths of between 33.5 to 35 inches (85 to 89 cm),
outside-to-outside. Is your vehicle chassis in a different width range?
