[WIP] TATRA 8x8x8 Perfect Edition

[yoraish]

Just wanted to share my upcoming project.

-8 wheel drive

-8 wheel steering

-Powerful winch

I called it the Perfect Edition because I managed to take all the stuff I'v learned from building other TATRAs in the past and put it in this particular truck. I wil publish only 1 photo right now

because its very early in the morning and I'm going on vacation in a few hours...... A video will come in about 10 days or so.

Because the body isn't built yet, what does it needs to look like? tell me your opinion!

This is looking good, what colour are you planning for it?

Looks good, but why did you make rear wheel steering too? You may find that the rear wheels will tend to steer themselfes, espically with such high pivot point you have and a short steering handle...Other than that it looks cool!

I made that in order to excel the steering capabilities of the truck. The rear wheels don't steer on their own because 2 M motors on each end of the truck helps to steer.

Is that chassis strong enough?

It looks a little bit thin...

Looking good so far!

A new video now at:

I am a bit worryed how your wheels bend like at 1:06 and misalign at 1:36. Reinforce steering and it will be perfect!

Interesting steering configuration.

The angle of the wheels doesn't appear to help a lot when trying to go straight over obstacles, or is that the slack in the steering mechanism?
