Question Need help with an 8x8 :D

Hello everyone, I'm Alex and this is my first thread on this forum.
Im new to rc trucking, but not scale builds as I have build the tamiya cc01 unimog which the thoroughly enjoyed (If only it where 1/14-1/16 )

So I thought id do a rc truck build next. I was thinking alog the lines of an 8x8 tipper. I know that the merc arctros is coming to the uk soon and i think i would like to use that as my platform, to create something along the lines of this:



I found this web site that sells dump bins, however i think the mechanism is a bit too expensive for me.

I need your knowledge to help me create my dream rc truck.
- How do I turn the arctos into an 8x8 - adding 2 steer wheels at the front?
- Where do I get a relatively in expensive dump bin and mech. (Do I need to make the mech myself, using a fergil actuator or a screw drive) ?
- What parts do I need?

Thank you very much for you time.

- Alex
