|  My 6x6 Trial Truck   Specs so far: CMS on axles 1&2 w/3 link, hand bros axle brackets Beef tubes in axles 1&2 Od/stock/ud gearing Various alum c-hubs/knuckles/lockouts Steel tranny internals and spur (may switch to 32p) Traxxas 21t titan throw-away motor Its all still in mockup stage, I'm always impatient and excited to run a new build  Once the electronics get all wired up and its a roller, then the fun begins...

Much appreciated guys Fell in love with the old Tatra 813 dual front steering trial trucks.The backwards frame is mostly because of whats left over, and it seems to be working so far |

Well got a lil bit done today with some help from my buddy Mr. Clanker. This:  Turned into this:  Some random chassis pics:   Body isn't completely mounted, also there will be more to the bed:    Still needed to do: All the electrical basically Driveshafts for axles 1&2 Sleeve a couple random links Replace some mismatched hardware And of course the tube work by Mr. Clanker Really excited about this build but it won't be a quick one. |

We'll do our best Mr. Wad Being weekend warriors, we might get it finished by Xmas... I have to say, this is one piece of heavy metal. These trial trucks are quite the thing. I'm really liking the dual front steering. We got a good start today... |

I'm thinking the front weight bias of the extra axle will help with climbing, we shall see. | |

That things going to be sweet when it's done. Are you going to keep the tonka look or do something else? Let me know if I can be of assistance on the tube work. I also have some truck stands I made for everyone. I'll send pics to Clanker and bring them next time I'm down.

Progress includes getting it rolling under its own power.. mostly. Still need to do some trickery to an mip dig shaft for the front driveshaft. Also other progress... got with Postclanker and we devised a roller bender to get acceptable bends out of the 1/4" carbon steel tube for the exo and bed work, no pics yet as it wasn't completed at the time. Anycase, onto a couple bad pics.     Electronic specs so far: brxl on 2s for now towerpro mg946 servos on 7v off of a castle bec |

Let me know if I can be of any service to you with the driveline. I've modified a few for various projects. Looking good BTW. Nice to see it coming together. |
