I built a SCX24 6x6.. and it absolutely eats my course up!! Not as smooth as the Furi, but I have a torquebeast 50 on it with stock electronics, and it performs really well. But I have to say I really like this one!!

Awesome did you get the pass through axle kit thingy? I just picked up one and start my scx24 6×6 build. I bought a atlas and was so disappointed so I wanted to build a scx24

@@nate4024 That was the same reason I just built my own. Give the Atlas to one of my grandsons. He getting interested at 8 years old, so I figured I'd feed the passion while it's there. MoFo was out of the kit, so I bought a pass through and drilled a hole in the stock one. Worked just fine. Just start out a little tight and work up very slowly until you get the perfect fit.

The articulation 😍 especially between the second and third axel!!! Thanks for the vid!
Yess been dieing for you to doo a video on this thank you boss man!! Frickin love the channel and vids you put out got me into it got a couple fcx24 s been building out with all the stuff I learned from you! Sick rigs man all yours !! Keep it up!! Appreciate you tons!
Wow amazing I love it and seriously appreciate all you do for the community man pretty soon going to need a 2nd home just for RCs lol 🔥
That’s worth the money. You know it! You’re the man. Happy new year, sir! Thanks again for your feedback
What is up Matt! Shane here coming at you with another quick comment and glad to hear you are doing ok. I was starting to wonder too lol! Super cool though man! I have to admit very first impression was damn thats expensive but really when you look at it its not that bad. There really aren't a whole lot of upgrades needed so compared to how much we dump into our 24s its not that bad. As always thanks for the videos man🦾
That thing is sick..luv your videos bud!
Thank you for sharing this is awesome I was looking a few hours earlier for my atlas
Yes, we would like to see the injora cage on a rig!
I have the 6x6 chassis and link set from Meus coming, good way to use up the spare axles and stuff I have laying around.
I like 4 wheels myself but that looks like a good 6x6. Certainly no need to overdrive based on watching yours and running my 4x4 Cayman, but underdriving in the back might help. Mine needs a better servo because it just doesn't move at all if any torque at all is needed (it's not the same one they put in the 4x4 they sent you). I have shocks coming today for it (I can't get the front to spring the chassis up when pushed down) as well as extended links which I'm not committed to using, and a lizard pro to replace the one it stole. As gimpy as my Cayman came it still is the best climber I have.
Wallet attack. I love 6x6's and have most of them and some I have made. I simply must have this. Import duty pain but crawling joy. Derbyshire's Peak District will be conquered in 1/24 (already conquered in 1/8, 1/10, 1/12, 1/16, 1/18 LOL). Happy Crawling and a Happy New Year from your newest sub

I have a atlas scx24 mix breed 6x6 that I turned into a ten wheeler beast loving this new one
It looks to me like we may have room for larger tires where the atlas was restricted. This will be a beast with the right wheel tire combo
Thank you Matt!
Super cool, yeah I’ve been Eyeballing it
That is _fascinating._ Going to the rearmost axle, are the lower long links tied to the back of the center axle, while the top triangulated short links are going to the frame? That's going to solve a bunch of issues in my own build, if that's the case.
That's cheaper than what it would cost to build a decent 6x6 from scratch. Dang good deal.
I never understood the 6x6 thing but it sure motivates me to get my Cayman on the rocks.

I’m not huge on them either but I definitely enjoy this one more than the atlas I had. The cayman is great. That’s the main reason I wanted to check this out.
Wonder if you can make it a rear wheel steering aswell . Ideally ide like to see a dig system in it but I don't think that exists yet . Ben laid up past several months and man they did so much since my scx bronco came out
I think to should turn it into a 6x6 hauler, complete with a trailer to haul equipment for your 24th scale course.

Man that almost sounds like a couple freakin geniuses got together and just tossed ideas at one another or something 🤘
I like the rear axles setup with the links mounted to the center axle. Is the center axle just 2 fcx24 axles mated together?
Need one!!!
what a cool truck a bit over my budget but super cool
How long are the pre-orders on these matt? Thinking about getting one thru ur link? 🤔 Can u put oil in those shocks? Also what are some other potential body options for this matt? A 3d printed bed for this would be really nice possibly also. Would like to see some more on this for sure. Maybe a body with lights and bumper and fenders, like u said, something more scale. Interested for sure. 😊
Could you show a quick info on the furitek 3 channel transmitter ? I’m curious on getting the 4x4 rtr cayman and possibly going 4ws or would I be forced to swap Rx and used my gt5 ?
Would make an excellent tow rig a wrecker with a couple inches in the back and some long boom arm
Sick!!!! I've noticed that the body is the same body as the fcx24 and so are the portal axles. Are furitek and fms the same company or owned by the same person?
@2fmrc
Жыл бұрын
No. Furitek just started using the fcx24s axles after I paired them up with the scx transmission and had such good luck with them. I believe they have good access to the same parts being overseas so I imagine they can get them fairly inexpensive and build these rtrs cheap enough to offer them to us at a fair price. That’s just my thoughts on it anyway. Maybe they are connected somehow but as far as I know they aren’t.
Any idea when the TRX-4M Grasshopper Rails are gonna ship? The release date keeps getting pushed back.
I'm likeing that rig so much that I'm prepared to ignore the price considering how much it'll cost if you scratch built something to that spec, there's 6 tyres for traction but with it being so light would it benefit from a little brass
Right on the money, best 6x6 for the money.
I HAVE BOTH ON PRE ORDER WITHOUT THE REMOTE. ROCK ON MATT !!! \,,/
Sweet rig! You should definitely try they axles from the FMS Katana (they are also in other rigs). They are basically straight FCX24 axles! And, they have metal gears and CVDs! They are also about the same width.

There is no FMS Katana. It is the RocHobby Katana and this has Hobby Plus axles. What you mean is the FMS LC80 which has the same body and the new standard FMS/Rochobby/EazyRC axles with metal gears
Very cool but waiting for a roller I'm a brushed guy anyway 😉 😀
Just picked this up, great articulation and components. Unfortunately it seems to have plastic gears in the drivetrain and something has stripped within 5 mins and am getting a clicking sound and loss of power. Does furitek sell metal gears for this drivetrain? I’m not seeing any on their website
@2fmrc
7 ай бұрын
It’s more than likely in one of the axles. When it clicks does it seem to stop pulling for a second? Like a gear slipping? Could possibly have the wrong gear in the portal on one of the axles. That was an issue at one time. Or it may be the ring and pinion gear stripped. They are plastic in the fcx axles. I normally use the fms metal open diff and lock it with some epoxy to make it a solid spool. Basically you’ll need fcx24 parts for the axles and scx24 parts for the transmission. Depending where the issue is once you break it down.

Yep it seems the middle axle has stripped and it won’t pull when that axle is on the obstacle. Man what a bummer, a near 400 dollar rig with plastic gears with a brushless high torque system. Going through the fb pages on it, seems to strip very quickly. Now have to shell out like 50 bucks for 4 since they don’t sell a 3 pack and wait weeks with them backordered everywhere. Aside from that, was wondering if the tetra 6x6 body would fit on it. Might be cool with a full body
What drive shafts do you use with the fcx24 axles?
IS THERE A FRONT PASS THREW AXLE FOR THIS? SO AS TO CONVERT IT TOO 8X8 MILITARY sorry for shouting
Man I’ve been itchin to play with my rcs still don’t have low gears for my trx
I would like to see how it goes in soft sand 🤔
Hello I was wondering if you could measure and provide me some measurements of the 6x6. What is the stock shock length and all stock driveshaft lengths? Looking to get upgraded options the same time I order the 6x6. Thanks in advance!

I see people complain about how much these furitek caymans are but for 390 if you were to buy something else scx24 FMSfcx24 atlas 6x6 any 24/18 scale RTR and build it to the level the 4x4 and 6x6 furitek caymans are you would be spending easy 2-300 dollars more than what it would cost to just buy the cayman
