[xmodzracer]

[GearHeadV8]

Im not 100% on the body yet it will be something sick but im not sure if i just wanna leave it with no body lol

[kookieboi]

way cool man! yeah you should find a body to put on that like one of those military transport vehicles that would be sick. great job

[4G63punk]

wow thats f*ckin sick man!

[dreamingISdrifting]

Awesome man, how much did he charge you?? (you dont really have to answer that one) I am surprised the stock board can handle 2 motors, can you get a picture of the motor wiring??

[65mustangrock]

That's nice. XXX always does outstanding work. Should take a truck, split it behind the rear fender and add another wheel well behind it. And for the front I haven't a clue.

So there's $75 in the mail headed your way. Can you try and get it shipped by Friday? I'll be out of town so the sooner the better. Jkjk

your right its only rear for now but im going to figure out something for the first steering axle in the front to have power. no way to get the 2nd steering axle powered because thats where the servo sits lol

[pinsk17]

ok. so its really only a 4X8 truck because only the 4 rear tires are turning.

Its still the coolest thing I've ever seen done to an xmod.

well then it will be a 6x8 for now.

thanks lol

[pinsk17]

8X8, 6X8, 4X8, its still awsome!

[GearHeadV8]

haha true lol. I just went through my parts and im missing all but the spacers and red crown gears so once i finally get those parts in ill try to make it 6x8

[jimmytvf]

i've been thought in a mod like this, making a Tatra T813 out of Xmods lol but the suspension Tatra look-alike, will be such a hard work on it

very good work, mates!!

[GearHeadV8]

lol thanks

I know what you mean it would be so darn hard to get the suspension pattern alike
