I’ve been working on this for a little while. I’ve strengthened the
suspension and drivetrain on the front of the 8466, and created an entirely new
rear suspension that articulates over just about everything. The vehicle is 4
wheel drive, suspension and 2 wheel steering.

The front differential uses 4 bevel gears inside. I cut out the axle stub
that usually holds the single connecting bevel gear, drilled through the entire
housing and used a cut-off minifig shovel to create the diff’s central axle.
The ends of the shovel were then melted to match the differential housing. I
now have a diff that is is smoother, more durable, and stronger than normal.
I’ll put up a close up picture of the diff when I get home, if anyone is
interested.
Thanks and PLMKWYT
