Oshkosh HEMTT 8x8 Trial Truck

[1nxtmonster]

Hello everyone! My latest trial truck, an 8x8 Oshkosh HEMTT. Powered by two XL motors, independent steering by two m motors. Live axle suspension on each axle, portal hubs, etc.

And, of course, a movie.

Thanks guys! Once the snow melts off, i'll be able to (hopefully) see how capable it is on trail type terrain.

It's a very capable truck! perhaps the independent steering would be better with servo motors?

Thanks! Yeah, some sort of RTC steering would be ideal for the independent axles.

Thanks! I love filming at a local stream/streambed because in the winter it is frozen over and in the summer it is shallow enough for crossings. The car-cam camera is a GoPro Hero3 Black edition, which has excellent video quality. I've used the gopro for pretty much every single camera shot for every movie since I've gotten it.

You could steer with a train remote, and put gearing in between the two dials. Each dial would correspond to a servo motor, and each axle would have different steering lock. Edited January 25, 2014 by Technyk32231

Good idea!
