In Brief

YouTuber Quiet Nerd built a fully electric 8-wheeled camper with a wooden body and tank steering. The project uses eight 48V 1000W motors, allowing it to spin 360 degrees on the spot.

Design

  • Eight separate 48V brushless differential motors, 1000W each
  • Tank steering enables 360-degree rotation on the spot
  • Square-tube frame, welded differentials for independent side operation
  • Marine plywood body with interlock pine panels and silicone seams
  • Flexible vinyl windows, floor covered with sports foams
  • Two 48V 100Ah batteries and two 200W flexible solar panels on the roof

Testing

During a test drive, several tire punctures and a front axle breakage occurred. According to Source 2, cheap tires slipped off the rims, and the front left axle broke due to loads during on-the-spot rotation; the creator repaired the axle using ratchet straps and a log. A detailed 90-minute build guide is available on YouTube.
