Found this while browsing on their site. Looks interesting...

hmm dunno about the 6 wheels steering maybe leave the center wheels locked straight and have the front and rear wheels steer? i bet it would weigh 20 pounds easily

what body would cover it?

Dual trannies and 6W steering? Sounds like a nightmare to me, not to mention the large amount of batteries it will take. The center set of wheels would have to be stationary (no steering), just use the F/R to steer, otherwise steering would be difficult at best to do.

I've been wanting to do a rig style setup with dual drive wheels in the rear. Would be nice if someone would make a diff case where there was a spot for the pinion gear on the front and rear...

Voila... VERY pricey though.

A guy over on traxxas was doing this, I have a link to 1 of his projects but he took all the PICS OFF !!! it had like 8 wheels and he cut diff cases in 1/2 and just glued them together and threw the pinion on the other side and something else, but he is the king of adding tons of wheels he did a few different ones im sure would come up with a search.

I think an six wheeler would be interesting with an articulated center to aid in steering. I do not like the kershaw design though. Come to think of it I don't like any of his designs. They seem to be hack jobs with minimal creative engineering or thought put into it.

Yeah, exactly like that, except in Al. I mean, if you're gonna go that far, might as well go all the way!

I thought about doing this once before. I emailed FLM and they said they could make a custom combo bulk that would allow a pinion to be on both sides. It is on the expensive side, they said $150 if some one else wanted one, they would probably lower the price if a couple of us bought one.

Brian, you should take a look at this:

:yes:

Definately cool, I almost bought this truck, but got outbid at the last second. Turns out that a guy that also lives close to me bought it, and it sat at the LHS for a while. I thought about getting it running, but it looked cooler than it really was. Still a nice truck, but not really good enough to run brushless...

Tamiya 3 speed tranny, I cant imagine what would happen if you stuck a neu 1515 or even a feigao L can in there...

Still, it was an awesome project, and interesting concept..

This my 6x6, no its not a Maxx based truck but an OFNA buggy-turned-monster truck. Like mentioned before it is as simple as modifing the center as well as rear diffs. As far as the body I got 2 Proline F-650 4 door bodies and made one F-650 6 door out of it. Mine is not 6 wheel steering and the turning radius is a bit larger but nothing a big open field cant handle.

lol thats great

Too cool, how about some chassis pics?

Batteries mount in rear for even more traction.

I'm gonna build one of these as soon as i finish my buggy build, FLM savage build, and buy a flat screen tv. A metal body maybe, "tank truck":yes:. There was a guy on here somewhere that had a metal bodied emaxx, i can't find it though:oops:.

videos please...exactly the project i was looking for...originally i was going to do a rc-monster.com'ed out crt.5 but saw this and looked at my extra 8ight roller.....hmmmm....thanks for the inspiration!!!!1

i may have to do a 6x6 soon or maybe i will take it over the top an build an HEMTT

for the non military guys his is a HEMTT it stands for Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT)

scale4x4rc.com I dont know if you are familiar with this website or not but they feature a section on HEMTT and other military type (get ready for this) multi-wheel, multi-wheeldrive, multi-axle, multi-steering, I can go anywhere RC stuff.
