you, my friend, are insane. that looks sick. i think its going to need more bracing across the two rears though. that board will surely break. but i realy like the creativity and the idea of it. Dodge, i think, had an idea like this for the Ram, a six whell monstrosity called the T-rex, but i could be mistaken. my question is, what type of body would fit that??

You're correct about the T-Rex:  The board is actually two 3mm sheets of MDF Gorrila glued together, so it's surprisingly rigiid. Carbon Fiber or Aluminum would have been my first choice, but I didn't have any lying around. Eventually I would like to see if the guys at FLM would be willing to make me an aluminum chassis(hint hint)! |

My problem currently is that i don't have two pinions that match. I have 2 86t spurs and one 76t spur. I also have a 18t, 23t, 26t, and a 31t pinion. What combination of these (if any) will give me the same gear ratio? Don't feel like driving to the LHS for another pinion.

The 86 with a 26 is a 3.307 ratio and the 76 with the 23 is 3.304.
Have at it!

divide the spur by the pinion to get the ratio, then see if any match up.

I'd call it the "Road warrior"
That thing is diseased!
I know! Put a Semi cab on it! (Dakar Rally semi?)
Please give us video! I want to see this thing in action!

OK OK!!! Here's some video! I couldn't wait for the batteries to charge so it wasn't at full speed. I ended up having to go with 17/86 gearing because the LHS was out of 18t pinions. It surprised me how well it turned, but there was still some serious understeer.  |

That is pretty crazy! Nice job though, it should look sick with an extended Slash body on there.
