8x8 Behemoth (10X10 recovery rig) overhaul!
 

i've been doing little bits here and there on my 8x8 Behemoth, i don't have much for build up pictures on it but i'll start adding to it as i go. it is running tlt axles with a rc4wd heavy duty tranny, 650 size 12 volt motor, on 6cell lipo, on 2.2 wheels :eek:

Were did you get the short shaft and how do you get a 22.2 volt lipo down to 12 volts? Ed

Re: 8x8 Behemoth
 

yeap, i'm not sure that the stock tamiya diff are going to last long in this one...

the motor i'm just over volting it, seems to be holding up fine

the short drive shaft is a punisher shaft that i cut down to size

I like it Russ it is like a prime mover on steroids. The 12V that is a recommendation and how often will it be at full throttle and I would say the first two pinions are the weak point anyway. I think it would look real good with a jacked up flat bed behind it.:D

Man Russ, what is it with you and 8x8s?:D

Re: 8x8 Behemoth
 

Looks nice! Any idea what the final look will be?? Either needs lots of chrome or white to match the wheels.

That will be cool with a lot of detail

Re: 8x8 Behemoth
 

how about an off road wrecker? cool build, regardless of whaever is behind it. stretched cab looks great

Re: 8x8 Behemoth
 

Looks like one of those antarctic tundra vehicles that run on the glaciers

Re: 8x8 Behemoth

Re: 8x8 Behemoth
 

wow man wow!

Re: 8x8 Behemoth
 

its over haul time for this beast, adding in a few extra axles and some other goodies :eek: its going to a 10X10 recovery rig :D

Re: 8x8 Behemoth
 

That things huge, those are 2.2 right. And do you have a better pic of the rear suspension

Re: 8x8 Behemoth
 

they are 2.2s. the rear suspension is very simple, it is just a rocker between two leaf springs. for the new 10x10 i'm milling out my own parts to use on the truck.
