|  PinchFlat's K2-6 6x6 Truck Trials The CandyWagon PinchFlat's K2-6 6x6 Truck Trials The CandyWagon Since Keatwo & I first built our Euro Truck Trials rigs almost 3 years ago (Now for something a little different... ). We have always wanted to build up 6x6 rigs. So, in actually seeing a multi-axle vehicle running at the Scale Nats this year (Miniwheeler) Kaetwo, Just Zach & I had to finally each build a 6x6. You may have seen Just Zach’s (Reign K2-3S 6x6 ), Kaetwo’s is at the roller phase (look for that soon) & mine is 99% done. Kaetwo tweeked a K2-5 chassis a bit to accommodate a multi-rear axle configuration & so we got building around those prototype chassis. As usual, Zach finished his within 2 hours the night we got back from Montana  Each of us are doing different types of suspensions to see what works best. Zach’s is a 4-link hybrid with the second axle linked to the first rear axle and not the chassis. Kaetwo has been fiddling with a hybrid walking beam 4-link thing, but is also going to try a double 4 link. Lastly, mine is a Bruiser leafed diesel truck type hybrid ¼ elliptical concoction. Zach & I actually ran ours at the First UTRCRC Truck Trials this past Saturday ( http://utrcrc.freeforums.org/utrcrc-...1-08-t115.html ). Let me just say these are among the most fun rigs I have even run. On to the Specs:
And few pics of The CandyWagon: |

| Looks great! I've tweaked the rear suspension on mine and I think I'm going to go with the 4-link setup on the two rear axles. I've got the shark fin in place, I just need to mount it up and test. These things are a blast to build and work amazing on the rocks.  |

| Well... Got tired of the flat black and decided it needed a new skin. Candy Red. OK just plain old red. I think it turned out ok. Now to mount it back up. |

| I kind of liked the black but the red will be a nice change, gives it more of that team truck look. |
