How would you convert to 6X6 flatbed? Since seeing the Snap On flatbed truck, I have been having this nightmare about converting my 4. Maybe some of us could do it together? Any thoughts on how to start? 8)"thumbsup" "Ernie, please wake up before you go over board!!!!":mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: |

Re: How would you convert to 6X6 flatbed? I can help with machined/punched aluminum parts. Would be pretty easy to make a nice aluminum bed... Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk |

I've ordered the 6x6 rails, and mid axle housing and pinion cover. Anything else you think I may need for the conversion? I already have two front and rear axles that are complete. Quote:
Where are you chino, I'm going to need some help on this one! "thumbsup" |
Re: How would you convert to 6X6 flatbed? When I think about this build of yours a COE keeps coming to mind. Like an old harvester or 50s chevy/Ford would be awesome but no idea how you could pull that off. Power wagon would be a good look too of course. |

The rear axle housing is the one you need (Traxxas 8837) it is specific to the TRX-6. The mid (intermediate) axle housing is the same as the TRX-4 but uses the new pass through diff cover (Traxxas 8846). You might also think about getting suspension mount (Traxxas 8830) that the links from the rear axle attach to. I am excited to see what you come up with. Santa brought my son and I the TRX-6 for Christmas!! It's such a beast. I am hoping to see different bodies someday as the G-Swagon in not really my style... |

Re: How would you convert to 6X6 flatbed? That would be a nice cab to start with, but being 12th scale I think the overall scale would be off. I got out the Power Wagon body and set axles out of it and I'm really thinking I could make a nice looking truck with it. But thanks for taking the time to look that up for me!!!"thumbsup" Ernie |
Re: How would you convert to 6X6 flatbed? There's some pretty interesting bodies here Ernie. https://www.scale3drc.com/ If you find something you like, I can print it out for you... I printed this body for my TRX-4 (different seller though)... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7c606910b8.jpg Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk |

Unless you are making your own drivelines the 8850 (Extra Short Driveshaft) may be helpful for between the mid & rear axles. That is just the tubes and you need (2) 8849 (Output drive) to complete, however you may already have those from your other TRX-4's |

Nice detail and all, is the product durable, mirror snaps off glue back on, replacement parts printed.. ? It is the little things that count. I cannot help but to notice, every photo of the printed parts. Focus, sharpness always shot soft as hell. Using the same trick holleywood does shooting photos of the fughy & old worn out people. just saying pep |
