- This is my custom built nitro 8x8 Amphibian.. The truck is not complete yet but is close to being done.. There is still a crane that goes on the back of it on the plate that will be completely operable.. Should be on there tonight and have a video up tomorrow hopefully.. And also will try to have the bottom sealed and filled with foam in between the chassie plates to try to make it float and go across water but that part is still a work in process
I have to agree with you there! We have a six wheel'd one of these at the LHS. EVERYTHING on the truck is alumimum, and its been sitting there for 7 years with a $2,000 price tag. I don't know why people are thumbs downing you, because your correct!
Great custom rc effort. It is fantastic to see people enjoying this hobby and making something unique. I really can't believe there are people out there knocking this effort.
Respect!!I have a Redcat Earthquake myself, just starting this hobby,hope i can master it and make stuff like this!!
It sounds awesome, but I think some shots of it at work would have helped some of the viewers make more.....appropriate comments.
personally, I think it's amazing. 8x8s are hard to find, hard to make, and fun to drive over rough terrain.
If you added 4 way ball pivots in between each 2 wheel segment you may really have something here. It could be a cool unique crawler then. That and more ground clearance. I appriciate how much work went into this, it is not simply 2 cars tied together as someone said. Nice work, original Design could use inprovements thats all.
WHAT THE ?????? SOUNDS LIKE SOME SERIOUS SLIPPER CLUTCH PROBLEMS. VERY CREATIVE THOUGH!!!
Nice job! I love seeing peoples imagination in action. Awesome work. Keep going. I would love to see more...
you should make a set of tracks for that beast.
very innovative creation thats for sure.
wtf?!?! thats freakin cool dude. dont listen to the haters, theyre just interested in stuff that goes fast, not things that are acctuallly unique, good job dude!!!
dude its a masterpiece of ingeneering !!!!! if it is so easy do it by yourself!!!!!
I hate when people walk up and bug while I'm driving my r/c cars and trucks. wait till I'm done, then ask away. I like how he uses one engine to control one side and the other engine to control the other side. Imho, this thing is bad ass
Never saw an amphibian oversteer like that before.
My Baja looks like that, but only when driving on ice.

put some tracks on it and make it a tank! Looks like it will have plenty of power to be a tank. I could not do anything like that. It's sweet to me.
Looks like you have some sterring control issues.
Great job,Hope you get it worked out.
Gud job man, thats some nice and creative car, but u need watch out, becuz theres lots of pressure on the engine, run them rich
It looks like a cool project, have you ever considered articulating it? I reckon itd make it look pretty bad ass and probably more mobile in the tunrs!
nice build!just would like to see what it could do in the mud haha big ups to ya!!!
thats just two rc cars glued together!
that think si sweet as hell it be cool to see it climb Ibet that thing has some power kick ass.
it actully drives preety nice on the street it hooks really good as long as you have it facing stright.. I took it off road in a ditch it had probly 3-4 inches of water at the bottom it drove down in the ditch fine and through the water but coming up i hit the gas pretty hard to try to climb up cause of the mud on the tires and i blow out one of the spur gears and clutch bells..
Went to extra hard robinson racing clutch bell and spur and it worked good after that..
with the crane on the back it will be gangster
you need to make some tracks for that beast!!
@SSBlingsA7x go for the exceed rc infinitive monster truck its $170 and is really good and long lasting. Its a great truck to start with if your new. the speed is up to 35 mph and if tuned correctly you might be able to go 40 mph
In the 80's I had one like it, it was from Tyco or Mattel. It had like 12 wheels, I wish I could remember what it was called.
looks ok i think you could have done the suspension a bit tidier but otherwise it looks pretty amazing
this would be a great chassis setup to put a tank-like body on...
Looks a bit expensive, but it also looks like it'd be a hoot to drive!
Good work, uh? Dunno what's up with these other guys.
Its goes up to high rpms but doesnt seem to pull quick, you may need to ajust your clutch
i gotta suggestion Even tho its not finished pull the whole rear engine and tires back about 3 inches and make the front wheels turn would turn better.
wrap a belt around the tires and get a tank body for it. that would be sweet
That's wicked looking!!!!!!!!!
thats sweet id watch it though those motors might blow because of all the weight so keep it rich
its cool and all but make it do something besides running in gravel so we can see how well this can handle jumps and stuff
yea fully 8 wheel drive.. It is stroung and pretty fun to drive..
no shit with that he isnt able to fit inside the box man that is skill and determination right theere
yes it is compltly 8 wheel drive.. 1 motor runs the left side and one motor runs the right side
Wicked! i love it - yeah ur right, its a lunar robot - especially when u zoom in and u can just see the gravel - how did you get it too steer - is it like a tank where 1 side brakes???
the more wheels you have the more force there is slowing it down for that reason, MAKE A NITRO UNICYCLE!! XD
nice job dud hey when you going to finish it i wanna see the final progect
yea ,why does it rag at high rpm and not move fast like it should with 2 of them motors?
i think u r right! his clutches are slipping badly!
I don´t know why but, it seems that you need one or two more engine(s) to get more speed and much more fun driving?
But it´s really hard and good work man!
hi, you video may be lacking a little HD but that the most amazing rc i have ever seen, as we say in london, england...thats the bolloxs !!!! and it really is, how long did it take you ? and what bodyshell are you gonna put on it ? i reckon that a tank shell would look the nuts !!!!! well done matey, good job !!
I would have guess it be fast with 2 engines. Looks like more weight made this beast really slow
great design, great efford, no power thoe.....
see how fast it goes with 4 engines strapped to it!!!!! probly over at least 160 km/h right?
It is strounger for pulling climbing traction.. Mutiple things that a regulair truck can not do.. It was manily made for its power and to have something defrent..
8 wheel drive awesome!
wow! it looks like a tank
thank you.. glad to hear you liked it. Hope you keep in touch with my future projects. lol
i hope both of those motors are hooked up to just one drive shaft. all it looks like you did is took two cars and made it one with a huge gas tank. and hopefully you have still only one reciver and not two with the same frequency on them and the car needs MORE POWER for speed. just keep 2 t-maxx's it would be better
Yea, thats prety much it, only a few adjustments would help.
Suggest you gear the motors to run in the same direction. . .
Sounds like it has a very difficult time moving. Turning seems pretty awkward and somewhat out of control. A lot of work though. Good pastime.
nice there must be a lot of time invested
Hey guy, Very nice job designing that Rc, Now what type of body do you have in mind for it. Its a one of a kind, VERy, VERy, NICE.
omg know thats a piece of art
I was going to build it to go across water like a amphibian but havent finsh the water part yet.. everything is down now except for the water part..
@BeAzt4 its not stuped at all its really cool it can go where other cars cant shure it cant do any stunts but so what
congradulations, you made me die a little on the inside
@SpeedOfDark186Kmps by how it looks is one engine powers the right side and the other engine powers the left side. looks like hes using a 2 stick transmitter. one stick for one engine. another stick for another engine. he pushes both engines (sticks) for forward. then if he wants to turn, he pushes one stick, thus one sides wheels will move, but the others will not.
Not sure if my message sent but WTF is up with all u people leaving bad comments i no the thing ain't verry good but it's prob better than any of you can build
(Disregarding your current build status) What exactly is amphibious about it? That it can drive across Gravel AND Concrete? Wow! That's hefty ;D!
i would think (and i have little to no experience in this area) but i would think it would be more practical to have a front and a rear engine, rather than a right and a left. seems like it would be more balanced that way. now the how-to part is WAY beyond me. but i see what you're saying and i thought the same thing, too.
this is cool, so how fast can it go. all i think it does is 5
kick ass. Now it needs a body
its not about nothing its about a rc truck which somebody invested many days and who was just showing it to the RC community on youtube!!! if u dont like it, dont watch it!!!!
ooooo wow that makes alot more sense to me intake pulls in air mixture of air fuel for combustion ..... aw thanks man
Sounds like a bubble bees nest trying to get out. :)
thats a freak with the other nitro cars compared stil funny to see haha
yea it sounds like it is out of tune or it has bad compression.. It sounds more like bad compression because after it gets hot it shuts off and dont want to restart till after it cools off witch is a main sign of bad compression.. Then you would have to get a piston and sleave or i would do the traxxas exstange programe for 130 and get a new 3.3...
lots of my friends where here when i was building it.. It is called extra time after work..
na i doubt it is steer breaking i bet she has one engine per side
if it were me i think i would try to get the rear and front most tires to turn so you can get more predictable turning
it will look cool if he will make it like a tank for wars
fun project but ya think it would go fast with 2 nitro motors!
thanks.. I will have some new videos of it out and running.. Going to take it out in the swamp parts to see how well it drives threw mud and how good it climbs.. Will have my lst out with it to have as comparison with two deffrent trucks but in the same place. Will try to get the lst stuck and try to send in the 8x8 to tow it out..
@Coelacanth97
mabye its geared really low so it has tons of power, for pulling, not going fast so it could probably pull a shit load of power
I'm curious as to how its set up. Is it one engine per side and you control turning with 2 different throttles, or is everything hooked together and steers like a bulldozer? Also is it hard to control?
Nice project looks good to me
turns good for having 8 wheels. what is it a t-max?
eh, the nitro engine used here is a 2 cycle / stroke engine, but has no ingnition system for spark plugs and timing.
instand of spark plug, there is a glow pug.
you can convert these to ordinairy 2 stroke gas engine, but you need a modified cyl head, a hall sensor on the crank for the spark timing and a coil.
but you're right gas for 2 stroke engine is cheaper and you can mix it yourself easy
that thing is sick
if you put that thing in a like will it float?? i mean it has 8 wheeles!
put some bigger tires on that like have them twice the size so the front tires are outside of the second pair and the second pair behind the 3rd and the fourth outside the 2nd and 4th. if you get what i mean.
god damn that thing would sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo piss my mom off!
looks like it steers by braking one side at a time, if this is true, put tracks on it! that would be soo bad ass.
Run them rich yes theres alot of strain on them
Great for Tug of War.
if it had the body of the tank it would be pretty sweet.
So many ignorant fools in here that can't appreciate a feat of engineering such as this. Nice work djfelony23. Nice rig.
why 309 thumps down ?? its a really cool truck !! thumps up ! xD
this thing is ready for mars
R u using traxxas t-maxx chasis cuz it looks beast very nice
er :13 I wouldn't say you designed it. Its a couple of Tmaxx trucks grafted together, but good imagination none the less. I would like to see it off road.
yes one engine and one trans for each side
lol you need and actual crazy terrain for it to look cool.
Nice but how fast would you say with the twin motors?
This thing make me think of that weirdo movie Centipede.
such crazy, i like it!!
should put tracks instead of wheels, make it a cool tank
