Is it the high reach power hose on an extending boom ?
Saw one of the pics that others posted for you. It was on a three axle tender wasn't it?
Love the way you have rescued the project by going off on a different route. How bad was the damage ? Did the overall weight just snap your original leaf springs ? Your longer version looks fab too. Shame you can't make another two axle tender to run along side this three axle.
Waiting for your next installment.

i went through the whole chassis and cant see any issues i made rear fenders im going with a different motor and tranny for torque, this truck will be heavier then the 4x4, needing more power the engine compartment will be empty . i have the perfect solution for that area i just got word my water tank is ready tomorrow i should have fenders in paint and be back on track oh ya rear steer is hooked up and ready

Can I ask how many other big RC trucks you have built? What other RC subjects do you have and is it only RC you tend to do? ?? This monster is looking ginormous !!!!!! Hope you can mount vid cams on the side top and inside to show how this beast moves on and off road !!!!!!!! Was it the tires that set the scale or were you lucky to find the tires that suited the scale you wanted to work to??? Nige

Joe this is an amazing build, I thought the 4x4 was big but the 6x6 is gigantic, really looking forward to the progress.

I was searching google for something, can't remember what now and I saw this 8x8 chassis on a bench and I recognised your tool box and tool rack.
