Real Scale 6x6
 

This has been in the works for over a year and a half, started as a 6x6 drifter but who am I kidding, I'm a crawler at heart!

It's mostly a stock looking Tamiya 1/14 semi but there are many subtle changes and modifications that make it work surprisingly well. I'm tired of seeing all the out of proportion 6x6 projects with monster tires and hacked bodies, thought I'd add something fresh to the mix.

It was a mad thrash to get it together for Montana but it was worth it, almost didn't bring it but I'm glad I did. Still alot to do before I call it done.

SOLD...but you knew that when you handed me the controller in Marysville.:roll:

I have a couple cool pics, I will get around to adding here for you. Slick rig, once again Dean. Keep up the good work. "thumbsup"

Cool rig. Here's my King Hauler/High Lift 6x6. It's much more in proportion than my 6x6 honcho. I got it off a buddy. Not sure who built it. I was just getting ready to start a thread on it to get some suggestions on what else to do with it.

Thanks guys, glad you like it!

Tommy, thanks for the additional pics."thumbsup"


I want to see you and Devlin dance fight for it.:flipoff:

This one's a keeper but I could be persuaded to build you one....

Looks great! Only thing I'd do is get that trans up higher, looks like a rock grabber to me. I think it needs some kind of drill rig on the back too."thumbsup"

Loved watching this rig all weekend dean, and I think there was no shortage of cameras and flashes snapping pics of it. I am sure someone else will have more photos. "thumbsup"

Never get tired of watching you build and create and glad you brought it, it was a hit for sure. "thumbsup"

that looks amazing. a true "scaler"
any plans for a front bumper?

Thanks, it was fun to drive.

Made it last minute before I left for MT, no time to get a pic.

Here you go, kinda crappy but...

There is a winch on this thing, need to make a fairlead and get it all working. Still alot to do on it, I want to make a modular bed set up with different attachments (crane, dump bed, 5th wheel, etc.).

Here is all I got. However I did get to drive it also.

Here is Bender giving it a wheel.

In the middle of a low altitude ninja kick even. Good action shot. "thumbsup"

:lmao:

I snapped a couple images. Taking pictures was hard to do when I had my eyes locked onto this rig. I was mesmerized when watching it, I think a lot of folks were.

WOW:shock: that is the perfect looking rig!"thumbsup"

Thanks for all the pics and comments! Hopefully I can get back to this soon.

Dean, you're basically forcing me to make a multi-axle rig!! :ror:

Gotta say, one of the cleanest 6x6's I've seen on here.
