Re: Axial is releasing a RTR 6x6 Unimog!
 

With those military wheels.. I wonder. Would Axial be so bold as to release a MAN-Kat1 body for that chassis? Or a HEMTT-like one?
Would be ‘small scale’ compared to the usual crawlers, however, I’d say this opens new avenues for ‘Euro-Style’ Truck-trial Trucks.

( One can dream, ey? )

All-in-all, Axial is on a roll! First we get an Unimog, and now a six-wheeler. What’s next? An eight-wheeler?? A ready to run, true to style Southern Rock bouncer?

is this the "big reveal" from axial fest?

*SNORE*


i really hope they have something else brewing...

Re: Axial is releasing a RTR 6x6 Unimog!
 

Meh. I’d rather get the RC4WD Beast II.

Time for Axial to up their game.

RE: I do like it - wish it had the black wheels of the original UMG10 and the R35 compound tires - 'cuz buyin' 6 (or 7!) stickier tires will be pricey! :oops:

But, like many have said - let's also drop a re-done SMT-10 (not so much for me, but there's loads of interest out there) ;-)

And...

I also agree with Jay-Em, how about a SRRS (Southern Rock Racing Series) rock bouncer - go for a Tim Cameron, Bobby Tanner, or Randall Key rig for recognition like they did for KOH with Randy Slawson's Bomber.

That's what I'd LOVE to see! "thumbsup"

(or, go all-out crazy and release an "Outlaw" from Clayton freakin' Hollingsworth...) :twisted:

Re: Axial is releasing a RTR 6x6 Unimog!
 

Ooff. Yeah. I’d be àllover a Tim Cameron Showtime bouncer. The Outlaw might be a step too far for Axial. . thàt thing looks totally bizar. :shock: Intriguing, but bizar. Quite unique, though.

According to Harley’s vlog from Axialfest, this is NOT the big reveal Axial has in store....

Re: Axial is releasing a RTR 6x6 Unimog!
 

Very excited about new release of 6x6, however military wheels does not fit this body and someone said earlier buying 6+ wheels will be expensive.
Wish someone will come up with Euro truck body such as Scania, Iveco or Man, similar to Dakar Rally trucks.

Re: Axial is releasing a RTR 6x6 Unimog!
 

I'm all good on a 6x6.
Been wanting to make one..
But....
A Unimog with out Portals is not a Unimog.
They could have at least gave it a proper body and not do Portals.

These guys made one out of a Chevy truck. Only cost $400K

I've been building something similar to that for a while now in my spare time. My 3D printer was down for the count for a while, but it's up and running again and I'm about 95% done with all the mounting hardware that will allow me to attach everything directly to the chassis, rather than having to use body clips/posts.

I will admit though, I'm a little stumped on how I'm going to mount all of the electronics. My original plan was to stash everything in the cab and then hid the battery in some cargo crates or something in the bed, but I don't think I'm going to go that route.

Re: Axial is releasing a RTR 6x6 Unimog!
 

Heck yeah!!! Cameron’s rig or outlaw would kill it. I’d sell the bomber for a bouncer in a second.

Anyone see this?

Cool!

Let the custom 6x6x6 & 8x8x8 (and so on) builds commence! :ror:

Re: Axial is releasing a RTR 6x6 Unimog!
 

It's the third axle housing, with the pinion centered. The set comes with the passthrough for the second axle but can't find the rest of the components on RPP.
