Thanks for the comments guys. This is my first 6x6. I was going to get the trx6 but I hate that body and being a 6x6 body, probably hard to get rid of. And the axial doesn't have portals which I really wanted on a 6x6. I also wanted a rear axle that had a separate drive from the center axle. They perform better that way.

Dog house just about done. Put some mirrors on and couple other things. I also put a Club 5 RC link set and servo relocation. Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk |

Beavis never looked so focused. Did you actually cut an opening between the cab and the doghouse? Curious to see what you do with the space between the rear shock tower? electronics? |

| Re: Redcat Gen 8 6x6 I figured that , I should have been more clear. I noticed a Hackamoto motor in one pic, but what sort of power and control is tucked in there?

Surprisingly with the extra weight and axle the motor doesn't even get warm on 3s. I use a Flysky FS-GT5 as the stock radio could use better throttle potentiometer. Servo is a ds3218 but I will be upgrading it as it's not up to the Job with 6 tires pushing into stuff and it stalls. I have a 638oz JX servo from Amazon. Have had good luck with them and for the price you can't go wrong. Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk | |

Also just wanted to say the Club 5 Racing servo relocation is great. Everything gets lined up where it should be. Stearing angle and precision is greatly improved. Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk |

The chassis looks well worked in! Do you find the extra length on that unit smooths out your ride high speeds? Could be a lot of fun to go brushless. Perhaps a HH Revolver? |

Did a little painting and trying to decide if I should put the Mercedes diesel in it. It's not pretty but it's fun. It will do for now. Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk |
