8x8 HEMTT project

Weren't big enough. Wanted the tallest 1.9 tires I could find available. I would have just went with 2.2's but didn't want the expense of the eight wheels I'd need.

I know your trying for as scale as possible,but why not throw some ladder bars under it to stop the hop or wrapping you were talkin about? might even be able to hide them but using axials 30* bent links? idk,never built anything this crazy,lookin forward to the build

I was able to correct it I think by changing the orientation of the upper links and making them longer. I have to swap in my stronger steering servos to see if it really eliminated the problem. I've been working on some other stuff so no new progress yet. Needed a break from it and I had to wait on a few parts.

Been a few weeks since a real update. Started engine cover and rear cargo area. The direction I will go with the cargo area is still undecided. I also won an auction on one of the tamiya humvees that is the same scale this truck is. I already swapped the diffs on the humvee and locked the gear diff and shimmed the ball diff to make it nearly locked. I may eventually just lock it too. Removed limiters from inside the shocks and ground on the arms some to allow a higher ride height. I will change the tires on it to something around 4" tall I think and make a plate chassis for it. Eventually I'd like to make an interior for it also.
