outback Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I started on this a while ago ,I found a basic drawing on the internet thought it would be a challenge . Its 6 wheel drive ,front 4 wheels steer , has a 2 speed box driving 2 transfer boxes to the axles ,working winch will be fitted soon .it weighs in around 15lb and will run about 10mph in top gear .

alpacaandy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 That is neat, How bout some more shots of the components? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Nice, do you intend it to swim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outback Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Here is the basic layout for the drive it consists of 3 axles connected by using 2 transfer cases ,to the motor and gear box at the rear .It is not the easiest model to work on with very little space in there . Not going for swimming version yet just trying to get it to work .I have got the thought in the back of my mind though think I would ditch the 2 speed for a single speed unit to free up a channel on the transmitter . test run vid :-) steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outback Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 This did get completed ,the 2 speed was been exchanged out for a single speed unit this runs better now . Pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 That is a great vehicle. Have you got it swiming now? The water looked quite deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outback Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 This one wont swim the electrics are not waterproof, plus I put 4 oz of lead in each tire to help keep it stable when going off road (counter balance the height ),the chassis design is also not water friendly as it acts like a giant scoop and fills the gearbox and motor with water :-(. I do take it for a paddle though ,would go in water 5-6" but the rebuild afterwards is not an easy thing as its a pain to work on .All said it is good fun to drive .

Hi Here is the build thread for this model ,uses 108mm tires ,works out about 1/12 scale http://www.scalerc.co.uk/forum/forums-finest-builds/58682-stolly-fv-622.html My current project on the go for me is a scammell explorer bit harder to build but that's the fun ,next on my list I was thinking a militant mk3 wrecker ,I am looking at ways to cut costs down using different parts as price can get silly for anything with more 2 axles .
