Project: Monster Hummer

This is my little project I want to share with you. This is my second HUmmer after the previous one has crashed with a 1:1 scale truck yesterday and I had to dump it.

I don't use lift kit in this Hummer for several reasons, first, because of the toe out problem. Second, my wheels is big enough to have lots of ground clearance, and third, it has lower center of gravity therefore it handles better. My last hummer always toppled during tight turn.

Enjoy!

Big fatties like those makes me think your monster is amphibious!

How well are those tires secured? They look a little floppy to me.

The tires is very secure on the wheel. I install AWD kit and 4 wheels rotate as fast as the lift kit's tires. I will upload some videos. It runs fast, it climbs slopes and it jumps.

Could you get some videos up of that thing driving around. I'm still a little concerned with seeing how it turns. I was thinking the turning motor might have some problems moving those bigger tires. You might also want to add a few more cells to that.

That is pretty awesome, but u probably could install the lift kit. That insane tire width should still be able to make up for the higher center of gravity. It'd be cool if u could find some rims that were big enough for the tires. And the steering shouldn't be too bad anyways right? When it gets going, steering is obviously easier. Did u get those tires off of some lego set?
