Tiamat 6WD/6WS
This is Tiamat, a six wheel drive, six wheel steering monster mutant truck.

I built this truck in the fall of 2001, and it has been periodically upgraded ever since.
Lineage
Based on the timeless Tamiya Clod Buster monster truck kit which was incredibly popular when first released in 1988 and is still sold today (albeit as the ‘Super’ Clod Buster)
