  • We took our custom TRX8 out to the trails for some fun. For those wanting to build their own stick around to the end of the video where we do a brief overview. If you'd like to see a more in depth how-to please let me know in the comments below!

    More compliant suspension with say a lay down cantilevered setup in that back would make this unstoppable.❤

    Bought a TRX-4 3 years ago and upgraded a lot of its stock parts with metal after market parts. Had many original parts as leftover so I decided to build a TRX-6. The chassis hadn't been fully assembled when a came across the idea of making it a TRX-8. I therefore found your 2 videos here on TH-cam and I am highly interested in more detail shots or a making of of your chassis and the front axle which is the most difficult part of a DIY TRX-8. Nice work! Please show more of this 8-wheeler!

    This is awesome. Thank you for giving us a breakdown of the build. I had a question if you didn’t mind. You mentioned axle 2 is a standard front trx4 steering axle. But in the video axle 2 shows pass through style. Did I miss something? Thank you again.

    looks great and cool idea, any plans to make some kind of flex in the middle?

    Cool build & thanks for the information at the end. I’m leaning toward a BC-8 since it’ll be a working brush fire truck build with a little bit of weight.

    Hey James, what an amazing build 😮 TRAXXAS should learn a thing or two from you. Im currently in the middle of converting my trx4 to a trx6 as i love my Mercedes 6x6 and would love to keep it intact. I have a roller trx4 and was looking for a trx6 new ideas but not much luck, so i thought to myself a 8x8 will be far more fetched. Until i came across your video and boy oh boy you like made a dream come true. Please 🙏🏼 help if you have the time, it’s not much difficult in the back to add the third axle, but for me im struggling with the idea of another steering axle in the front (HEAD SCRATCH) pan hard? Third link? Like how the hell am i going to tackle this? Lol 😅 please help me! I actually have a UMG10 6x6 body that I can’t find part for to build so I decided to do it a traxxas chassis 😂 “Great minds think a like”

    Awesome truck and excellent video!! So the front axle is actually a rear axle, Does it use four link or three link and a panhard bar? Also is the servo mounted on the frame? Got me curious lol

    I wonder if you put a hing so the rear four tires can adjust to the environment would it make it more adaptable... But weaker in jumps tho
