| Axial based 6x6 bullhead cab
Hey guys. Finally sharing my builds on here. Bender inspired axial 6x6 But the bullhead cab idea is all Unglewd Inside out rc4wd rims :P Those tires are so incredibly useless but they totally suit the truck this was definitely the hard way to put a lookthrough in size perspective shot First day out Screwed up the paint, broke both stacks, and made it dirty... Ok fine embrace the crappy paint job and the dirt.... made some new stacks from old power steering line and a desk organizer :P oh ya and a twin motor plate to give this heavy pig some badly needed torque As it sits right now Was recently blown away by warpig's old towtruck/flat deck build Going to try and make some stake sides like that Thanks for looking |

That's awesome, those wheels and tires fit the rig perfectly! I'm sure a Summit trans with some sort of narly brushless would help your torque situation |

I love 6x6 builds and this one is spectacular Is there anywhere to still get Bullhead bodies? I have been collecting parts for a 6x6 build for awhile and this build has inspired me to use that same body.

Good lookin build. The flatbed and lookthru is a nice touch. How are the zxl's after using them for awhile?

| Re: Axial based 6x6 bullhead cab
Thanks guys! and thanks Pedro (I think lol) @PoOkY I have been going to add lights to this thing since I built it lol. I will get it done one day @Meatwad Truly the milspecs are a rubbish tire, but I knew they would be. I took out the stock foams because they are too hard, I am just running room temperature air pressure in them now which makes them a little wobbly. I might be able to straighten them out with a set of flat iron mem foams, but their biggest issue is tread design, its a quarry tire meant to last a million years driving on rough roads. they arent supposed to crawl well just look good |

Haha too bad, they do look the part. Apparently most rc4wd tires are made for heavyish rigs. Any way to remove ribbing/material inside the tire?

Super Sweet rig Weapon! Well thought out in the placement stage of the build. Love the look. The tires do git the part but I know it can get aggravating when they won't do what you them to do. Have you thought about any other scale tires that would fit the build for crawling?
