Gmade stealth 8x8 project

[craigrobbo]

This is my crawler project, i have only done the front so far hence only front pics, what do you guys think?

Any input or advice to make this better would be appreciated.

are all 8 wheels gonna be able to turn? looks like it will be hard to turn if just the inside wheels turn

The front 4 wheels will turn the same way, same with the back, maybe i should have put on this thread '8x8x8' (all wheel steering) my fault.

I don't see any way to put shocks on the outermost sets of wheels? That could be a major problem, are you going to build a new chassis, or some sort of extensions?

The theory will be to use a canti-lever system mounted to the front lower links.

Once i have another set of axles to finish this and some custom links made up i will defiantly get video.

Iv been trading emails with RC4WD and i think im settled that i will be using the 'Killer Krawler' links and should have a wheel base of about 70" total.

One thing that sucks here is that you have posted photos of the extra axle on the back x5 times or more ...post an overall shot of the whole rig ...looks to me like you just added an extra axle at the end of a G-Made Stealth ...whats your final plan for this thing? Looks like you don't know clearly what you are trying to go for here

Hi as i say the rig isnt finidhed yet, in these shots there is no back end on it at all it was dismantled hance only taking pics of the front.

Please remember this isnt finished, its only the beginning, so to make it look a bit neater i missed the arse out of the pics.

Use some imagination ;)

Once i have another set of axles i will put up pics of front and rear compleate, but for the time being im just posting up the 'concept' which is also open for input.

Well good luck, its just odd in my opinion because the Stealth is a complete chassis like a tuber ..how can you extend that chassis , what you have done so fart seems like a piece of cake to what you would be up against next to make this work...I hope you prove us wrong :neutral:

I wonder how the rear axle 4-link is going to affect the middle axle. I'd love to see some video of this when its done.
