Saw this the other day not a brilliant photo, but it was an R500, no drawbar coupling either
Is the back axle in that position for when it does ‘wheelies’ from a standing start 
Frank hudson has, or had 580 V8 actros 6 wheeler, with no sign of a drag. I assume it was a stretched artic. When i first started driving, i had a 400 actros rigid stretched from an artic, and that was master of its job.
