Already have a thread on rccrawler but since i'm a member here I will share some pics and video of its development. Based off HPI's crawler/wheely king chassis and axles. If you want more details just ask. Has independent steering on the far rear axle now too. Thanks for looking

Woah!!! O_O That thing looks like a master piece Was it custom built? I was thinking of building one of these big trucks. What motor is it and where did you get the pieces if you built it.

that looks good, monster 6x6.
pretty sure u spend a long time building it. was planning to do 6x6 to my custom axial based rig but end up getting lazy, lol

The bed trim is 1/16in angle with the main part being thin sheetmetal. The build did take more than a couple months but only because I would shelf it until more inspiration would come. I am using a rooster crawler esc with a 55turn crawler motor. It's given it plenty of low end. I have seen a couple very nice axial 6x6's on youtube you should give it a try. All the pieces I got to build it were from Home Depot with the small metric hardware coming from Ace Hardware. I can get nearly an hour runtime with my 5000mah lipos. It is a pretty nice novelty truck and it turns heads whenever I take it out but it still takes a beating. Not afraid to be rough on it since its all replaceable.
Thanks for looking guys.

i would give it a try eventually, but need to get all the extra parts for it.
i'm currently using 55t on mine but will it lose some torque or speed when u switch to 6x6 ?
i was looking for a shell something like these :

I think those bodies look pretty custom myself. Surprisingly the torque is very good for the 55 turn and a 5000 2s. Heres a pic from within the last couple days.
