The rolling gear is from a Tamiya Big Rig with extended chassis rails. Rear suspension is walking beam setup.
Leaf springs are made of steel, the axles are from a Tamiya TLT, wheels are Hummer.
Have a look at this link, this is what you can use to start with and add a front axle to make 6x6

When I started this build I knew I wouldnt really be able to do it, so after doing nothing with it and having way too much fun in full size 4x4s I handed it over to my mate Dready and this is where he is at now
