TINY's take on a G6 Well I thought and I thought about what kit/rtr I should get. I was leaning towards the Honcho.It's rtr not to bad out of the box, and I could upgrade as it went along.But then I was looking around one day and thought why not the G6.It's got the same stuff as the Honcho. Just with the electronics.And it has better links and shocks.Plus it's cheaper. I was sold.I rounded up some electronics for this build.THERE NOT PERMANENT. They're just there to get it going. RX/TX = Axial 2.4ghz Servo = Traxxas 2075 ESC = Traxxas XL5 Motor = Holmes Hobbies 27T trailmaster sport When I bought the kit it came with a free Gearhead lift kit (I'll not be using this) and a 3racing winch.I also picked up a Vanquish front bumper/CMS mount.I also took some wheels and tires from another build I have going. They're 1.9 Tsl SX's on Motoworx raw on raw 10 hole LE. So that's where I am as of now. here's some picks to start with. The big pretty box that showed up on the truck with the dude that brings me my toys and stuff....lol http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j8...k/DSCF3151.jpg All the stuff that was in the pretty box. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j8...k/DSCF3153.jpg And tire and wheels combo. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j8...k/DSCF3154.jpg I'm starting on it here in a little bit so I may have more to put on later tonight."thumbsup" |
Re: TINY's take on a G6 I love the feeling of building a new kit!!!.....The excitement, the anticipation and best of all.... The satisfaction feeling you get when you turn that new build on for the first time!!! Ahhhh. ....memories!"thumbsup" |
Re: TINY's take on a G6 I got a box like that last week "thumbsup" Watching to see your take on the G6 |
Re: TINY's take on a G6 It is a fun build! My only complaint is that Axial sends you on a wild goose chase for the needed parts during assembly. |

Re: TINY's take on a G6 I've got the axles built, the shocks, the links, and the transmission. The only thing I was upset with about this kit so far is. I wasn't able to mirror the transmission and use the spur gear cover together. I'll post some pics tomorrow."thumbsup" |
Re: TINY's take on a G6 Very cool, cant wait to see how you paint it up. Looking forward to those pictures tomorrow. ;) |
Re: TINY's take on a G6 These pics are a day late but here they are. First the axles with the links and shocks. Plus the transmission and motor. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j8...k/DSCF3156.jpg Where the axles meet the chassis. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j8...k/DSCF3158.jpg The wheels and tires join the party. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j8...k/DSCF3159.jpg The electronics start to work their way into the picture.I made a custom "tray or shelf" for the esc.And the servo is on the Vanquish bumper/cms mount. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j8...k/DSCF3160.jpg |
Re: TINY's take on a G6 Looking good! Why the rear battery placement? |

Re: TINY's take on a G6 Ahh cool. |
Re: TINY's take on a G6 Why not make a battery tray to fit in front of the motor? |
Re: TINY's take on a G6 Quote:
Plus if I did want to mount the battery up there. I would need to fab something up and that wouldn't turn out so well.It would look all jacked up and would probably do more harm than good....lol See I don't have complete use of my hands. So ever since I became disabled fab work has been mostly a thing of the past. I can fab something up now and then but nothing like I used to be able to do.I could ask someone else to fab one up for me.But that's just not me.I don't like asking for help. I know they make a tray that you can buy for just that purpose. But I just don't like the look of it. So I'll stick with the battery in the back for now. If I think it will help me later on down the road I'll come up with something."thumbsup" |

So I'll be sending it to someone that does paint work year around. Not sure who yet but I'm looking. |

Re: TINY's take on a G6 I got a little done today.I got my motor wired up, my winch wired up, and my lead wires wired in for my winch/steering switch. By that I mean. I'll have a toggle switch that when it's flipped one way I have steering. When I flip it the other way I'll have winch. That way I can run a winch from a 2ch remote.I also put a male plug on the toggle wire going into a female plug. So when I take the body off I can just unplug the plugs and they're apart."thumbsup" http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j8...k/DSCF3161.jpg |
