Default E-Maxx 8x8 goes X2

Hi!

A view month ago I started the next evolution step of my E-Maxx 8x8 and totally rebuilt it. Thatīs the result:

Click pic 4 gallery!

No, itīs not simply 2 E-Maxx bolted together. Yes, the agility is a lot better then the "standard" 8x8 layout. And I know I have to put a better looking body on it...

And thereīs also a video of it: E-Maxx 8x8 X2 (93MB MPEG2) (rightclick --> save as)


Next steps to do:
-Buy a new Proline Jeep CJ8
-Build a body for the tail
-Mount two dampers at the joint in the middle
-Build or buy an external BEC

it's an e-maxx with a tagalong......

i would keep the hummer body, but make it flexable in the middle

Hmmmm, the hummer body should be a nice try. But the big problem are the many holes in it...

an attatchment, like you see the tractor trailors with 2 trailers, the 2nd trailer is a tagalong.

if it had a flexable middle section, it would work....
