Real Scale 6x6

[Cordwood]

Which trans are you running? I def need to lift the high lift trans in mine up, or switch to something different. The three speed is kind of cool.

Is there any video of yours in action? Mine seems like it's lacking in capability. I don't know what springs are in it, but it seems stiff. I thought about making some revolver type shackles or doing your leaf spring mod.

Nice,can we see body off pics, and some specs on this beast?

[sellenk]

Awesome idea, I like the rims and tires on it! Nice work.

Thanks for the thread, I was asking around for some more pics. I agree that you did an excellent of keeping the proportions in check, it isn't exactly easy to do when using the 'scale' Tamiya cab. My old 6x6 used a Bullhead cab but it never looked correct to me although it was a blast to drive.

[scale-bronco]

I thought your mean green 6x6 was the most scale 6x6, but this one is now the top.


If you want I could get some pictures of our drill rig to base one of the multiple beds on.

chino, i saw this rig while i was @ work the other day kind of reminded me of your little 6x6, if i get a chance to build one of these i definitely will be using this picture as a reference point

I thought you might like to see it to not trying to thread jack ya ;D

I'm using an Axial trans with an Eritex T-case. I wanted to run the 3-speed but there's no room due to the lack of a sleeper and the facr that I kept the full cab interior. Everything is crammed under the hood of the body.

Not sure if there are any videos of it, Baller might have taken one or two. I'd try softening your springs by removing leafs if you are running multi leaf packs.

Thanks, I'll get some when I can. Not much as far as specs but here are some of the things I did.

Bruiser leafs in back to a wider separation between the rear axles
Stampede shafts for the rear driveshafts
Shortened Hilift shaft in front
Flipped TLT front axle
Custom front military wrap leafs with custom leaf mounts
Mini LST shocks on front
Stock Losi MRC shocks in rear
Axial trans
Eritex T-case
Removed sleeper
Custom bed
Old Tamiya sound unit
Novak 13.5 Motor and Goat ESC
RC4WD 1.55 Rock Crushers on stock rims with Proline Memory foams

Awesome, multi axle rigs are plain fun to drive!

Thanks, that would be cool!

That's a sweet pic. I had originally planned on something similar but decided to do something with a bit of color on it since the last 6x6 (Mean Green 6x6) I did was OD green.

This is an awesome truck Dean. This one has every bit of the chino appeal that all your rigs seem to have.

I've been dreaming of building a 6x ever since I saw that od green king hauler at the Folsom blues g6. And especially lately since I won that gcm t-case from from the nor-cal finally. And then I run across this amazing rig that is darn near what I would build....

Are you running the stock semi rear axles?

I could look at this picture all day

As far as a dance of,pfft ballers going down

Unless he busts out his macarania moves

[XSRCdesign]

TAG! Your it

Good times and great rig

[neillarson]

Any good shots of how you did the rear suspension? I am a leaf and multi axle noob.

By the way, when you modify your springs, do you say you "Chino'd" them?

[brianw]

That'd make the perfect tow rig!

[50mph]

Looks great! One of the best 6x6 i've seen.

[XcrawlerkidX]

where did you get that body?

Thanks! Yes, stock rear axles and flipped TLT up front.

You're welcome to drive it any time if I have it with me.

For some reason I think most of the scratches on it are a tan color.

I'll get some up for you soon. As far as the mod to the springs, I don't remember who started calling it the Chino mod.

Yes it would! (if it was 1/10 scale or everything else was 1/14)

It's a Tamiya King Hauler body with the sleeper cut off.

[oneidentiti]

stunning job, so real looking then you see the little axial logo and you're like ohhh! sweet! haha

[chino63]

Ok, here are a few updates. A couple spare tires in the bed to help hide the speaker and finally installed the air filter assemblies.

Some pics from yesterday.

That's awesome! Very nice work
