Double whammy if they surprise us with a portal axled buggy right when the Axial Capra gets revealed.

They see blood... going for the jugular.

traxxas has the capability to do a tube chassis buggy. the tube work on the UDR is nice!

Makes me wonder how many of us were just waiting for the Axial 6x6 to hit the streets to buy it are now going to hold out for the TRX4 (seems like the 6x6 should be called the "TRX6").

The Axial rig does have a $150 price advantage, so if portals, the two-speed, or locking diffs are not important to you, there is a less expensive name-brand option.

Traxxas is going in for the kill for sure! This vehicle was obviously in the planning stages long before the Axial 6 x 6 was announce, but there timing is still impeccable.

ehhh, Im still building my own out of ar60s I would never have used for anything else and a bunch of 2.2s I had laying around. The wife will have quite the monsterous plow 6x6 shortly.

I'm pretty sure everyone with AR60s at one point has thought about making a 6x6 with them. I prefer the width of those for a 6x6 for sure.

No doubt. I was literally sitting at my bench one evening messing around while my wife did her beach body workout, we both have our areas downstairs so she works out and I wrench, I saw stack of 4 ar60s in different stages of upgrade from wraith and bombers, and thought to myself, why cannibalize one of my trucks for a plow truck for her when I have all the makings of a monster plow truck right here. At the time I even had my eye on a few spare scx10 chassis sets, which I still have, but decided on an actual 6x6 chassis instead.

Sadly I have been collecting parts for a 6x6 using AX10 axles for over a year. This has been my slow-motion build, I work on it a little bit, go to something else, work on it a little more, and so on... I have all axles, frame, transmission, and a few other parts. The center axle is fab'd up, and I was getting ready to lay out the frame and start working on the suspension. But, my latest build, my TRX4 Tonka tow truck, was an epic pain in the butt, and still needs work to be complete. Having my fair share of custom builds under my belt, and being burnt out from my latest build, I think I would like to just buy one, then modify it from there.

I get that too, I think if I was going to purchase one though I'd have to give that MRAP a look from whatever Chinese company that is. That thing is bad to the bone. If I could get my hands on the body and throw it on the running gear I have planned, I would be in love and my wife would lose her plow truck hahahahahaha

Traxxas' preview page is saying it has 2.2" wheels? This is a typo right?

I was wondering but the tires do not look like the standard canyon trails. The sidewalls are dimpled.

Also, the regular 4 wheeled MB G500 supposedly has 2.6" wheels but the tires are just lower profile and similar OD to the regular canyon trails.

[durok]

Most TRX-4 bodies are slightly larger in actual scale than other 1/10th competitors and look fine with 2.2" wheels, as long as you are running a tire with a overall O.D. of about 4.75" or under...

I have a pair of different 2.2 wheelsets for mine, but I wrapped one set in 2.2" RC4WD Dune T/As (which have pretty low-profile sidewalls) and the other in 1.9" RC4WD Ground Hawgs:

I don't know, the more I look at it the less I like it. getting the Axial 6x6. Have first dibs on my Lhs demo traxxas 6x6, we'll see

[Greatscott]

Someone said the transmission and motor are bigger on the TRX6. From the pictures Traxxas posted, they look exactly the same... Anyone know?

[sgtlt]

someone just posted a first look on youtube at a demo truck and it was the same 550 motor and trans

[Hardcoretam]

I wonder if they will come with the 9t pinion instead of the 11t.
I seen a lot of people burn up the 550 motor in thier TRX-4 due to inexperience with the 2 speed. I imagine a heavier, extra grippy 6x6 will be a lot harder on the motor in sand or hill climbs

Looks like the same 550 motor, trans and same steering servo

Love the 6x6. Just not the body. It would be awesome to put another body on it. Still waiting for traxxas to come out with something completely new for a scale, buggy, or crawler of some sort....one day right?

If you merge the information from "The Cub Report" of 7/1/19 and 8/19/19 it can be best guessed that Traxxas will soon release something entirely new with "...plenty of scale realism with perhaps a pinch of nitro."

Some pics.... In the shops already
