benz 8X8 off road/crawler extended cab #71

[SEMIJOE]

ok ive added the flatbed rails,need extra height .the tire almost touches it.

also ive had to order al new high torque servos.ive notice on test drive that the servo couldnt with stand the torque ,so i bought 4 x 152oz servos and servo savers

also on the list i bought 2 spare tires, rims and alum knuckles

double railed, many heavy rigs have that for certain loads/beds so that's cool.

This truck is so cool to watch being built :tmb

What would be even better is a time-lapse video.

Maybe not the entire process of fabricating/modifying, but at least assembly.
Tho that would involve a good video camera and some editing skills, time, effort.

This is one of my favorite trucks on the forum, and it's not even done yet!

Inspiring doen't even cut it. This has been nothing but a severe extreme talented build. Glad the idea came about. I know Joe wanted to build something different. And here it is although not the usual speed he is aparently known for but it took a lotta planning, trial and error. But the end result is stunning. Glad I got to help a lil. If I did anyway. good work Joe. Keep on crawlin.
