RC4WD 6X6 beast truck

[crazy4yachts]

Ok so I played a little with the suspension on the Mini Beast and I was able to get another 1/2 of lift without even changing anything. I'm going to order bigger dual rate shocks and more aggessive tires. I'm trying to find where I can find the Iveco body for it, so far no luck locating it. I'll just keep looking I quess.

Hey Mike,

How are you doing ? I was hoping to hear from you , and thanks for the links and the tips for improving on the Mini Beast. There is a lot of room for improvements. The shocks are way to stiff and they tend to stick. Also when you turn the wheels full lock they rub on the suspension links ! I will be changing a lot of things on this one. I will send you pictures on the Iveco cab the only place I found it is on youtube.com . No one seems to know where I can get it ?




Thanks
John

That steering linkage might be a problem. too long of spacers. i had terrible issues with 1/3 the lenght of what you are offsetting. ended up mounting the servo on the axle despite my dislike for doing so.

Boy you got that right CDM I'm finding that out.

Might be a little late, but these pics can help with mounting the servo on the axle.

I am planning to build a Beast 6x6 and use it as a transport for my axial wraith 1:10
But i am not certain that the wraith Will fit.
How much room is left behind the Man cab. Is it possible to build a flat transport deck and fit a 1:10 car?

Hi mate,

Just wondering how you are getting on with your beast & the search for the cab?

I just bought myself a beast and have to say that once I'd gone round & thread locked everything it is a solid rig. I've got the punisher shafts to replace but I'm now wondering about shocks. I'm leaning toward the Old Man Emu ones from RC4WD, mainly cos they look so scale but I can't find any reviews of them. Oh well keep looking!!!

Very cool military build.
