I failed trying to make a tatra 6x6....I don't have the skill or patience to make a body out of styrene or wood...

so, back to the drawling board. I figured, if I cant make a simple chassis with a normal 6x6 setup, why not make a 6x6 with the wheels close together like a mini tank. This doesn't need as much flex, so I could just make a simple torsion "stick" chassis. No links, no shocks.

Then I bought a toy truck from Kmart (Cause you cant find any cool looking trucks at walmart) and slapped it on. I will end up re-doing the wood/body mount and such, but I kinda like how it looks and handles.
