Default WesleyRoy's 6x6 bullhead to 8x8 flatbed truck build

Since i have finished my built of my second 6x6 (wesleyroy mad max wrecker). I want to change up my other 6x6 to an 8x8.

Starting life as scx 10 deadbolt the converted it to 6x6.

Found a nice 8x8 on the internet for an example.

Bought some framerails cut, and extended the already extended chassis.

Know i am waiting for driveshaft and shocks.

Painted and intalled. Still need some rear lights.

How's your turning radius?

Great job, I think all the proportions look good too.

Didnt try it offroad yet. But i dont feel it has a much bigger turning radius compared to a 6x6 maybe because of the small tyres.. Maybe later i am going to try to get the rear axle to steer also. However i found out my upper links bind with the axle servo mount. Oh well thats for later. Going to drive it first.

For heavy offroad mud crawling scaling i have my 6x6 mad max wrecker, wich goes very goood on 3s .

Painted links and found some cargo to carry around

Now i am still looking for the right gearing as of the heavy total weight.

Will try 56/9t pinion soon on 3s.
