Well had a few hours thinking time then hit the work shop result a 8 wheel chassis with 4 wheel steering but only 6 wheel drive think I need to spend a few more hours thinking about this challenge but anyway it works have fitted a up graded motor so there's enough grunt what ever I do on top just need to find some drawing and do a bit of body work to finish off bit stuck on ideas though

Hi.
Excellent work. :clap:
How about a mobile rocket launcher like a Scud missile system you could even have the rocket lift up to verticle as if to launch ? Just a thought...well done.

Superb chassis
Something like a scud or Tatra is the way i would go. Also quite easy(well time consuming) to make out of plasticard aswell and would look really good. Front driving axle needs doing though, but also another easy job if you decide to make a new steering arm for the most rearward steering axle.

I would maybe however look at upgrading the internals of the differentials as they do not like high torque situations and seem to round the splines all too easy when driving another axle.
