Whoa this is awesome.I love the third party tires

Are the axles inspired from the 9398? They look a bit similar

Love this truck. Where you've shoot the video? It seems like Mars, but sand isn't red :)

you are so angry with the diffs, but thee problem is not the real ones, but the electrical one, I think that if you change the motors setup (1st receiver connected to 1st and 3rd axle and 2nd to 2nd and 4th) you'll gain a little bit more torque on axles that don't slip but also link all the transmission with u joint will improve drastically the traction, but i think it is something too difficult or that needs to change the whole designs, maybe a different shocks setup...

anyway this is an awesome creation and i think that your idea to make a 8x8 9398 will inspire lots of people ;)

I'm in shock! I guess I need to go to the big size of MOCs.

Looks great, but gets stuck too easily.

I'm amazed at the features, details, and aesthetics that everyone here manages to put into their creations. Mine look terrible.
