In this instalment of our epic 6x6 Crawler battle, we start to get a little more technical and a little more steep with our challenges… It’s becoming evident that at least 1 of the rigs still needs a little more work to stay competitive! Which one will it be? The mighty Traxxas TRX6? Or the underdog, Cross RC Emo NT6?
Watch to find out! And let me know in the comments what your favourite truck is 😀
What should I do next to the NT6??

Take that brass of the back.

Love what you’ve done with your NT6 👌. Best performing tire that I’ve used is the JConepts Ruptures for pure rock crawling. Try for a 60/40 front weight bias and if possible get around 30% front overdrive. I know they do overdrive ring and pinion for the trx4 axle but no idea if they’re compatible with the NT6. Have fun experimenting, best part of the hobby 😁

Im running Injora blue silicone inserts on the rear and reds on the fronts on my Cross RC JT6. I think the blues all the way around may do better. 👍🏾

Blues all the way round on mine, but I went a bit scissor happy and they are now too soft 🤦‍♂️

@dudleythree3 2 ай бұрын

put that rear axle brass on the front, lower the front suspension if you can(wouldnt need much) make, make the last axle suspension stiffer. All of this is trying to teeter the front down on climbs. Best of luck mate, loving the vids

@TimsRcsurgery 2 ай бұрын

Already tried that configuration and it makes woeful to drive, this rig is extremely nose heavy as it is. As for the suspension, I’ve already restricted suspension travel by adding a spring just under the shock pistons. And it works great 😃 Thanks for the suggestion buddy 😎

@dudleythree3 2 ай бұрын

@TimsRcsurgery it will be all in the suspension then. On climbs it's light in the front and twists under torque

@TimsRcsurgery 2 ай бұрын

@@dudleythree3I’ll never get rid of the torque twist, all axles turn the same way unfortunately, the TRX6 has rear axles that turn opposite directions, greatly reducing twist 😃 I could swap rear axles but I don’t really want to do that just yet..

@@TimsRcsurgery I like the Tusk’s aesthetic a touch more but the Rupture out performs it by a hair as a pure crawling tire I think, excellent choice 👌 They’re both phenomenal!

A great wheel tyre combo is 40mm wide 2,2 rims with 1.9 baja pro x tyres with stock proline 2,2 foams. I also run g8 hyrax 1.9 on 2.2 rims bothe are great performers

@junkb06 2 ай бұрын

Decent rig. I think the stock tyres are great after a few runs to break them in. Easily comparable to canyon trails. My at6 has weighted wheels and fusion pro 2300 and its a composed climbing beast

@TimsRcsurgery 2 ай бұрын

I have the fusion 2300 pro in mine, steel wheels (no wheel weights) brass on the outer of the rear axle.. I’m currently siping the stock tyres to do a comparison with the Proline Flat Irons 😃

@junkb06 2 ай бұрын

@@TimsRcsurgery that will be a good comparison. Looking forward to seeing that one and my monies on the stock tyres lol

@keldonator 2 ай бұрын

Nt6 looks much better. I have a JT4 and these axles have terrible turning radius. I'd take the brass off the rear and make it as light as possible. Then make the front axle as heavy as possible. Maybe a bit of overdrive in the front. Could also put a rubber band in the front to keep the nose down

@TimsRcsurgery 2 ай бұрын

It’s actually very front heavy with everything now missing from the rear, I now have all weights off bar the rear axle, I’ve made a few changes and have good day of testing planned soon, stay tuned to see if I can get this thing dialled 😃

NT6 does do well, as for tyres just try a few but looks like you got foams spot on, your getting a lot of tyre spread so foams are working to put as much rubber in contact

@TimsRcsurgery 2 ай бұрын

I’m just not sure about the centre foams, I think they crumple too easily.. have a few ideas to try this week though 😃

@martinsabathy3336 2 ай бұрын

I'm still interested at the cantilever system,but now i need it for Traxxas trx6.One of the best tires ever are the gmade mt 1904.I used them on my axial umg6x6,it was nearly unstoppable with the stock foams.It seems to me that your truck is a little more top heavy.You can put wheel weighs in the first axle this should help a lot.

@@rdrc4586 there are no more yet really, Gavin has passed the design to another friend of mine that owns a machine shop and is setup better to do a production run. (Lee) has a NT6 on order (hopefully be here during the week) he wants to test fitment and make sure everything that’s needed is readily available, there are extra links needed, tiny bearings and a longer rear shaft is also needed, we need to make sure we get the correct length (still waiting on shafts arriving) That’s pretty much the stage we are at. When I know more I’ll let you lot know 😃
