Kershaw Design's 6x6 E-Maxx Chassis

[Takedown]

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

[Semi Pro]

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.

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.

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.

Brian, you should take a look at this:

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..

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.
