Q. Are the 3 sets of wheels/ axles evenly spaced, or will the rear two be closer together, with a larger gap to the front axle?

I was thinking something like giant baja buggy army vehicle of sorts, or something like that monster from Final Fantasy: The spirits within (love that film, need to watch the dvd again soon I think)...

All 3 will be evenly spaced, with the front and rear steerable. The center axle will be fixed. All 6 wheels will be driven and all locked full time. I may try to incorporate the summit diffs... I also want to make some sort of servo actuated adjustable height suspension. I am also working on another maxx based 6x6. This will have the rear wheels close together, like the truck stop racing mgt.

This truck will be a slow speed crawler, but the other truck will be a basher. I need some machine tools to make the transfer diff case for it, so that may be a few months...
