Default Kcco's Homebrew 6x6 build

Well with being a truck driver I've wanted to build a 6x6 for quite a while now..

The chassis is a homebrew chassis with low center of gravity and multiple link mounts it's just like his other chassis he builds that I also have a carbon fiber Homebrew 2.2 comp truck and a aluminum Homebrew 1.9 comp truck so why not a Homebrew 6x6

I have a good start on parts I have and ordered!! The cab will be a blue Mack granite cab I've ordered from eBay!! And the axles will be scx10 with blue vanquish Stage 1..
It's gonna have a castle 3800kv brushless censored motor. It will have traxxas big bore shocks with Losi mini springs and cap mod . It will also have a savox 1231 servo 444oz tq should be plenty to turn this beast.. I have 8 wheels and tires I've ordered off of eBay there knock off beadlocks and tires they kinda look like Dick Cepek dc-2 wheel and the tires I have no clue what they look like but there 108mm tall tire couldn't pass up the price

Last night with a lot of help from Nerby we got some work done on the 6x6

Got the frame put together using axial cross members and I'm using a smw skid. For right now I'm using plastic axial links for the scx10 axles for mock up to figure out what i need and then have a final set of carbon links made up that's it for this weekend

You will be surprised truly it's different but cool you get an extra set of tires to help push you over!
