Benz Tlt 8x8 Off Road/crawler hello everybody this is my 1st time on this site.i figure i share a semi crawler im building plans are tamiya benz semi 2.2 wheels and tires extended cab 3 inches rear cab exhaust dual steering quad axle all wheel steering crab walk brushless rc4wd tranny workign winches mfu system maybe a boom/crane etc enjoy the build !!! ok started with the cab,have to cut the back off and extend it 3 inches.need all the room i can get. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...r/HPIM6571.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...r/HPIM6585.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...r/HPIM6584.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...r/HPIM6586.jpg |
ok i finish the body work cut the rails prefitted the tranny i used the semi suspension for the front and rear but!!! i used the f350 spring for length and tierod for the links also used the semi shocks was looking for a very soft suspension the front tires and rims came in lookin very good now, now im waiting on rc4wd tranny,shafts and more tires and rims http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...r/HPIM6672.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...r/HPIM6671.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...r/HPIM6670.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...r/HPIM6669.jpg |
looks good man, i like this build. so im starting up for my first body modification using 2 bodys and styrene as the strength on the inside of the joint but on the outside what putty do i use for this application? and what cement or glue should i look into to make the the bodies and styrene bond together? |
looks great!!!!!!!"thumbsup" |

i use CA and tenax-7r GLUE.dry instantly.very strong.filler i use mmd green putty from towerhobbies if need more ideas i have a lot builds for stretching cabs |
this is coming out better then i though.really looking! cant wait for the tranny to come in |
This is gonna be a cool thread! Love those Benz's, so many options to take with one, and an 8x8 will be the bomb! |
thanks i got the tranny and shaft in today |
are you going to have it pivot in the center? I've seen some video's on youtube of 8x8's, but man does the steering suck, putting a pivot in the middle would really help, although.......... how would you get the rear tires to move then................ unless you had a sep motor and tranny for the front and rear......... oh, and I'm gonna plan on watching this build. |
Sweet, I love the 8x8s, in the beginning stages of one myself, I'll be watching this one. |

ok everybody sorry for the delay.really busy here imso use to making semis here.have to get in crawler mind i took the semi shock off not enough travel so i went with tlt1 shocks . also was able to start on the rear axles http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...r/HPIM6692.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...r/HPIM6693.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...r/HPIM6694.jpg |
Looks awesome. Keep it up. |

Looks like your driveshaft angle is pretty flat. Raise that transmission or t-case up!! My 6x6 hung on everything with the transmission hanging to low. Looks good though "thumbsup" |
thanx! ok i worked more on the rear today .was able to install suspension,shocks and steering if you notice in the rear axle i have a output shaft , hint! http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...r/HPIM6700.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...r/HPIM6701.jpg |
