@bricklvr
I’ve made suspension modules with instructions that allow to make a 4×4 vehicle. You will find them in the Ideas category.

@Eric Albrecht Yes, it was slow. The brake is in fact a parking brake. The gearbox is manual, that is it can be only shifted by hand. There are two differentials, one for each axle.

I like the styling of this car very much, especially the diagonal braces over the engine.

Since the brake is actuated from a switch in the cabin, is it actually usable when you are driving the car remotely? Or is it more of a parking brake?

I see a red driving ring and what appears to be a transmission underneath. Can the car be shifted while in motion? I don’t see any differentials so are all 4 wheels locked together?

It took me quite a while to find where you had hidden the RC motor. It looks like you drive the car through a gearbox with a worm gear. If so, does it move very slowly (no video on this one)?

@Sariel 8880 has 3 differentials, front, rear, and center. Only 8466 has as many.
