Default 8x8 MAN KAT1 support vehicle

Not a tank but Something else for 'tank recovery' games.

Here is some videos of my new 8x8 rock crawler.


It's the MAN KAT1.

Wow, nice truck. Is it all 8 wheels driving? I know the title says 8x8 just wanted to confirm as some have 8 wheels but only 4 or 6 driving.

In ALL my tank years I have never tried building a truck, but want one.

The MAN or HEMTT would be my choices!

It's all locked diff 8 wheel drive indeed. 12th scale.

It's pretty tough too, rolled it a few times nothing breaks off.

I used the Outcry ESC with BEC (battery eliminator circuit)

Like Ebay item: 331798404832

And sound module like Ebay item: 121929056324

For the servo, just get any high torque metal gear servo

It's interesting you guys started this thread. I've long had the Hotts for the Capo 1/10 Tatra 8x8 and just within the last 3 weeks had the opportunity to get one...
