Tiamat 6WD/6WS
This is Tiamat, a six wheel drive, six wheel steering monster mutant truck.
It is based on the Tamiya Clod Buster platform, and originally started out as two trucks.

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)
Powerplant
