Hi Rob here is my attempt at a Oshkosh 6x6 same running gear to start with but have made loads of upgrades metal chassis and cross members same shocks as yours fitted a off the shelf ESC ( the binding got to me of the standard ESC receiver seemed to take ages) also moved the servo to the front axel, fitted a 80t motor like plenty of pulling power (need it at my age LOL) here are the photos still have to finish the electrics not made my mind up whether to fit in the cab or on the back deck under cargo.

regards pete

Hi Rob when it came up on ebay had £45 start price set a limit but no one else bid so got it real cheap and postage paid bonus :thumbup:
I knew they were not cheap have seen them for sale . Plus didn't have long to wait till end of auction only a few hours from when I found it.
