I can't blame you for wanting to show off this project/process. If my printer wasn't occupied ATM, I'd probably be building one myself. Or the Tatra 8x8
There's plenty of research I still need to do. I didn't even think about motors, gearing, any of that yet. I was still lost in the complexity of the Tatra drivetrain lol.Thank you sir SMC-93...only problem i have now is finding a gearmotor combo that can handle those 8 wheels...im thinking of a RS775 motor-planetary gear combo...and maybe a 120amp esc....parallel 5200mAH lipo at 7.4 v...gotta do some more research.

Maybe the motor/trans combo used in the Tamiya or Lesu 1:14 semis? I know they're a smaller scale than your Oshkosh will be but they always seem to be able to move a lot of weight without much issue.

Did you see this Tatra on cults or were you looking at 1:1 trying to "convert" the drivetrain to rc? https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/tatra-813-style-1-13-8x8-off-road-rc-chassis-onlyYup, i like those 3-speed transmission, they are just expensive....im thinking of trying out a cordless drill gearmotor...i see a lot of used ones like only 15 bucks... anyway, i also looked into the tatra 8x8, those independent axles are awesome, i just dont know if that can be done in RC...i believe they are not on the same axis, the other one is offset a tiny bit beacause of the differential main and pinion gear arrangement....

That Tatra has the proper scale drivetrain and suspension, just apply half-shafts and shocks. (And screws, bearings, tires etc.)

Is the transmission out of a power drill? I think I recognize the torque selector from a drill chuck

That is an awesome idea!It is a used Black and Decker Cordless Drill, 9.6V.... I thought it could drill through steel so it should be able to drive 8 wheels and pull a flatbed trailer.... cant find a better gearbox for a 10th scale 8x8 (most i see are small)... and tamiya's are way too expensive... so i decided to give this a try.
That is an awesome idea!
I'm going to have to try that when I get around to printing/building one these massive trucks.

That's a great looking mock engine as well.Its doable...and fairly cheap too, got this used one from FB marketplace for 15 bucks, lol.... heres how i designed the housing/mounting...

I also designed a mock up engine that drops in to the gearbox/motor assembly based on the Cat C18 diesel....the C18 is one of the 2 engines used in the M1070 A0

I still need to get a computer that can effectively run Fusion360 so I can figure out how to design things like that. I just can't wrap my head around the complexity of F-360 when I'm stuck waiting on my laptop to process things.
My CAD skills/knowledge are still super basic.

I've been messing around with Tinkercad, also internet based, but it's designed to be entry level so it's pretty simplified.That "engine" cover is sweet! I remember seeing one of the multifuel engines they had in those iirc, it was huge. SMC-93 check onshape, an online 3d CAD system that's similar to F360. Not sure that requires processing power.
