The DmG's ULTIMATE 6X6
 
i built the DmG rescue rig & had a lot of fun driving it.
so i wanted to build a more capable rock crawling 6X6 rig.
this is what i came up with , the DmG's ultimate 2.2.2 competition 6x6 rig.
spent over three months on this project & have had blast building it.

here are the specs:

the chassis:
27" long ,5" wide & 7" tall at the highest point. loaded it comes in at
14 lbs.

main chassis:
main frame made from 3/4" X 1/8" alum flat stock with the upper frame made from mostly 1/4" alum rod & some 3/16" alum rod.
all tig welded , sand blasted & painted flat black , with all alum panels polished ( inside & out)
6 custom made shock towers.

drive train:
1 RC4WD R2 (up front drives the front axle) & 1 RC4WD R2D (in the rear ,drives the middle axle & the rear axle).
3 RC4WD Wheely King alum axles.
3 ax/10 heavy duty ring & pinions , with 3 RCP steel lockers.
2 RCP Wheely king CVD drive axles (front & middle axles).
1 RC4WD straight axle & straight axle adapters (rear axle)
6 alum ax/10 locking hexes
3 MIP CVD drive shafts.
6 welded on axle link brackets.

powered by:
Mamba Monster max ESC.
2 Holmes Hobby 7T cobalt motors.
running on a 4 cell lipo.
2 castle BEC's (for the front servos)
2 hitec 5955tg servos for the steering with 2 DNA Wheely King servo mounts, 2 Robotronics arms & a hitec 225 shifter servo.

suspension:
10 custom made 1/4" links & 2 fast-lane bent links (in the rear).
28 dubro heavy duty ball ends.
6 integy shocks,4 white losi springs up front & 2 orange integy springs in the rear.

wheels & tires:
6 Mayhem 2.2 - 7's bead-lock wheels.
6 RC4WD ROK LOX's tires with stock foams.

only had it out a few times now , but what a blast , this thing is all-most un-stop-able.
with the current set-up , everything seems to work great.
low motor heat ,more power than U need (lots of wheel speed) & long run times !!
the only thing i may change is the dig in the rear , pretty much useless , not enough weight in the rear to make dig right.
may change it over to 6 wheel steering.

special thanks to RC4WD "thumbsup"

Thanks 4 looking.
the DmG

Honestly dude that is awesome. If anyone has checked out Red Faction Guerilla than you have seen some like this. I wonder if they got the idea from Zorlac.

JeepinOR 06-18-2009 09:32 AM

That's really pretty sick.

The next one ought to be segmented at each axle! :twisted:

TheHeadHunter 06-18-2009 09:44 AM

This thing is in a league of its own !!!

karlos 06-18-2009 02:20 PM

That looks bad to the bone! What kinda turning radius does it have?

JeremyH 06-18-2009 02:21 PM

I'm in.

Thanks for the chance!! :D

the DMG 06-18-2009 02:23 PM

fordwheeler 06-18-2009 05:57 PM

very cool Jerry......does your creativity ever take a break?

Offroader5 06-18-2009 06:07 PM

Sweet.... 8)

Both servos steering off a Y harness...same channel? Almost looked like there were some points in the vid that the two axles were steering independently.
