I will definitely be following this build, if you go through with it. HEMMT's are nice trucks. It would be quite an accomplishment to see done as a scale R/C. |

I was at the Oshkosh website the other day looking at the military vehicles trying to get some ideas. I'll be watching this one. Subscribed!

Got some work done today, but don't really like it. Not sure if I will change it. Worried about the drive shaft size    |

I have decided this build will be just inspired by a HEMTT, a semi civilian 8x8. The look I am going for is what I would think a rich redneck would do to a Hemtt if he had money! I found tires, there semi military scale looking, “2.2 HPI Racing Rock Grabbers”. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXWHX7&P=7  Other updates... -Got 4 more ax10 shocks from Glenn(GGooler)*Thanks for the hook up GLENN!!! -Limited travel of "8" shocks, total travel is only going to be about 3/4"-7/8" -Got some "8" beadlocks coming this Saturday, will be painted flat black. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXRGT3&P=ML  Last edited by justinart24; 09-17-2009 at 10:24 AM. |

I was looking at that same tire and wheel combo for a Tonka build I am doing. Here is some shots of what those crazy Russians will do with a set of 52's.. The wheel and tire look very similar and if I remember rite the tire and wheel combo work out almost exact for a scale 2.2 wheel and tire. Looks good so far! |
