The Ultimate Adventure Crawler! Traxxas TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 Review | RC Driver

Traxxas continues to step it up big time and impress the RC community with their scale and trail crawler line-up. But I don’t think anyone saw this release coming, the new Traxxas TRX-6! A 6x6! And not just a 6x6, an incredibly detailed, high quality, officially licensed Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6! Just look at it, the finish is amazing, chrome and satin chrome accents, LED lights galore and even exhaust tips peeking out from the bottom of the chassis. Traxxas fitted an enhanced version of the TRX-4 below the body that will surely be an ultimate scale crawler that can tackle all types of terrain. New frame, new center axle set-up, T-lock shifting too. This incredible machine has everything necessary to be a standout crawler in the crowd. In this video we take a closer look at all the alterations that were made to transform the TRX-4 into the TRX-6 along with an up close look at the body details. Then we go for some exciting off-roading in two locations and wrap up our review with some performance talk. Did the TRX-6 catch your eye? See our review before you buy.

    Would you add a 6x6 to your RC collection or are 4x4's good enough for scale off-road fun?

    I cannot state it enough: Traxxas nailed it with the TRX platform. With the TRX-4 they did a fantastic job with the engineering, and now they bring it to the 6x6 world. For an RTR it has so many details on the body, it's great. And finally they have clear windows yay! I really look forward for proper heavy truck body options, because I think that would look so cool as well. Nothing wrong with this body, they did a stunning job.

    Somebody's got to say it, the 2075x servo is absolutely the weakest link in any of the trx lineup. On top of that, the optional traxxas servos are VERY expensive and the stats are WELL over rated. A HH shv500 servo will change your life for $20 more than the 400 oz. Traxxas servo and without needing all that other bec/ extended receiver box/ extra wiring.

    We can wish, but Traxxas has their business model and by the size of their company, I think it's proven to be successful. When you step back and look at their vehicle offerings, there is a lot. Most segments in RC are covered. Producing new vehicles is a huge cost. Offering a variety off of one platform seems to do well. I'm sure in time we'll see more new stuff.
