Traxxas TRX-6 | Initial Mods and First Drive - Latest Addition to My Stable

Thanks for watching my videos. Please Like, Subscribe and Share for more fun RC videos.
Recently two of my friends and I decided to each pick up new rigs and add to our growing stable. Both of my friends decided to go with Element RC Enduro Builder's Kit, probably a bit of influence from me, while I decided to go completely different route and pick up a Traxxas TRX6. We decided to meet up at our test ground to see how each build performs.
Today I will focus on my latest addition to my RC stable. Yes, I finally added a 6x6. Traxxas released TRX6 last year. And most folks including myself thought of 6x6 as just a gimmick to sell more trucks. Over past year, I am hearing and have seen otherwise, so I recently picked up a Traxxas TRX-6 6x6 Trail Crawler Truck w/Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Body in Black, and I was blown away.

    Wow! That is massive rig! I imagine the power-to-weight ratio is affected in this case? For a 6-wheeler, this is very capable!

    The power-to-weight ratio is definitely affected. The rig weighs about 10lbs, but it is using the same electronics as a bit lighter TRX4s. Eventually I might upgrade them, but for now I will be keeping them stock. Even with that, it’s very capable.

    I really like Gens Ace. It's not cheap, but they have quality stuff. For the TRX-4, I use the shorty battery tray at the front. I use the Gens Ace Adventure High Voltage 4300mAh 3S1P 11.4V 50C Lipo Battery with XT60 Plug. They also have 3700mAh version as well. It's not cheap, but well worth it. www.genstattu.com/ga-a-50c-4300-3s1p-s-hv-xt60.html

    Just picked a TRX6 up as well. For my style of driving, the body will need to be heavily modded or replaced. Stock panhard mounts are extremely weak! Bumpers are terrible, sliders and faux exhaust need to go, needs a bunch of forward weight bias, stock electronics are not adequate. Once those are addressed, I see a ton of potential! Looking guesses to your progress and review.

    Hey congrats on the TRX6! The faux exhaust was taken off immediately. I tried to help forward weight bias by removing the stock battery tray and using the front shorty battery tray. As for stock electronics, I am ok with the motor for now, but the ESC, boy even at Crawler setting, it is not working for me...it has barely any drag brake. I was debating about just putting in an old trusty HW 1080, or should I go full out and install a HW Axe system...still debating. As for bumpers, yeah it really needs a bit of work there. I am still debating, how I want to use it for. Not every rig has to be a crawler performer...pending on this, my plan for mods will change.

    @@BigSungHobbies I’m running a 3S 3700 shorty pack up front as well. Haven’t removed the battery tray, but I’m sure it will come out. From past experience the stock motor, it’s a throwaway. I’ll donate it and the ESC to one of the local kids who might be in need. I’ll throw an inexpensive, but worlds better HH 12T TrsilMaster Pro and a Hw1080 in it. Nothing fancy, but reliable and massively better performing. I don’t expect the TRX6 to be a comp rig, it it has so much raw potential, it’s difficult not to push it and see just how good it can be.
