Default Mean Green 6x6 VIDEO ON PAGE 4- conquering the arch!

This thing has been around for a long time but without the body on it. I mounted the body awhile back but since I broke my camera I wasn't able to take any pics. New camera showed up today so I thought I'd get a few shots before the sun went down.












Modded the stock wheels to 1.9, I think they look pretty sick.



Modded the axial trans so the input would be closer inline with the outputs.




Batteries in the fuel tanks.



Mini-T shocks in front.


Cockpit view. I need to mount Badgers mini-cam in here!




Carrier bearing so front driveline will clear transmission during suspension cycling.


Made ball end lower rear links for better articulation in rear. Which still isn't much at all.


50 degree sidehill ability? (51.1* on the angle gage taped to the roof)

Thanks, the body started as a Tamiya Globe Liner. Stretched it using the sides of a sleeper cab from a King Hauler. It didn't look right till I added the continuation piece of the drip rail across the top of the side.

That thing looks sick with the body on it!

Did you lock the diffs or are they still open?

It is going to the MT Scale Nats?

Yeah, I've got a thing for cabovers. Diff's are all locked. If I can make the Scale Nats, it will be there.

This thing is a Hoss! I put two 9" 35 spline axles on the trailer and it pulled them no problem!

I'll get you some of the dismal flex shots.





Edit: Here are the lack of flex shots.
