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.

@SebastianLong 4 жыл бұрын

@@cwatson42785 In some countries, the Mercedes units are a dime a dozen. In America, the reasons they are so expensive is the import costs and fees associated. That's why many overseas companies build factories in America, to offset the fees and costs. Mercedes G wagons in America arent built by robots. Yes, part of the process is robotic, but there isn't as high a demand and the manufacturing process involves a lot of hands on.

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.

Also I heard losi is coming out with something cool soon can you talk about that yet? 👍👍 Also don't worry Traxxas fans im not being a jerk I love my summit and emaxx and stampede 4x4 just want something new been along time since traxxas gave us anything actually new since the trx4. And looking at all the other companies coming out with cool stuff all the time

@rcdriver 4 жыл бұрын

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.

@theirishaxe9405 4 жыл бұрын

@@rcdriver I've had every Traxxas in my life nitro and electric up until all the versions of the trx4 the last "new" truck was the rustler 4x4 which let's face it isn't new. As arrma is pumping out tons of awesome bashers. I'm not a fanboy of any brand I like any rig that is built strong and is fun. So ya I wish Traxxas wasn't so into making the most possible money from everything thing they do, and suing people for anything that looks like a Traxxas part they could be making a new awesome rig. I remember when the summit came out omg I was first in line I still have two I love them I just know if they tried they could come up with something awesome instead of reworked trucks that have been here forever.
