Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

Sadly no. I ran it once and lost drive on the #1 axle while trying to reverse up a steep hill, and its been sitting on the shelf ever since. I just cant seem to find the time to work on tiny trucks...

Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

Id be more worried about them breaking a tooth as opposed to wearing out. So ill be doing like you. Keeping them open untill needed. I plan to run each axle on a sepperate channel as well. Thats not...

Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

The Capo distributer I buy from has regular meetings with Capo and regularly asks me for suggestions. One of the things I told him when discussing the V3 was that Id like to see planetary hubs for...

Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

Will be interesting to see how the 550 works. Im toying with the idea of doing a 3:1 planetary reduction on each hub. But that will be costly, and as I said... Finding the time...

Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

Cool. Ive got a V3 sitting on my shelf also. Just no time to work on it or the V2. Looks like they've lowered the gear ratio quite abit on the new one. A wise decision imo.

Glad you are enjoying the thread. I have been seriously lacking in the time dept. lately but I'm getting back into it now.

I have decided to move the Cross 8x8 to it's own thread....

Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

Thanks. I cant wait to get some paint laid down over the chassis so it looks like a 1:1 military paint job! The driveline does concern me some. my biggest fear is the little brass planetary gears not...

Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

Well after testing a few different paint colors I had laying around, Ive decided to try and match the darker green of Capo's anodizing. Ive ordered some darker greens in hopes of getting a closer...

Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

Thanks! You can find the screws at RC4WD and Locked Up Rc. Personally I like the locked up screws better. They seem to have crisper edges all the way around and are true round stock. Unlike the m3...

Re: Capo 1582-2 Tatra T815-7 8x8 and Cross MC8 Man Kat 1 8x8

One of the front wheels was really wobbly. Found out why the screws were loose and one backed out all together
