Default •••The MOGdalorian •••

Bought myself a TRX6.

It’s been fun. But I HATE the body! 🤮

I can’t stand it! It’s hideous! It’s so ugly it makes my eyes bleed!!

So to summarize, me no likely.

So I changed it.

Nothing Earth shattering. Been done before.

I don’t give a rat’s ass, I like it. And I incorporated some of my favorite characters into it! 😝

Traxxas TRX6
Axial UMG Body
Samix Front Shock Tower/Panhard Mount
Samix Axel Panhard Mount
Pro Line Hyrax(Predator)
Crawler Innovation’s 2 Stage Foams
Chaquish 1.9 Beedlock Wheels.
HH 10T 550 Crawlmaster Pro
Power Hobby PH400MG Servo
Reedy EX480X ESC
3S 100c 4500 Shorry Pack
PEZ Mandalorian & Baby Yota Heads













Enjoy!

Personally, I really like the G63 body, although I'm not using mine either . I'm really digging the look of all the UMG TRX6s as well though. Nice rig.

Looks great dez! This is the way!

The UMG fits good and looks great with the rear inner fenders.

So...if I understand you correctly, you don't like the stock body!

Can't wait for the new season of Mando!

Thanks. Again, I wasn’t the first to do it. But love the look. I’ll get a pic of the rear for you.👍🏼

I’m glad to hear you got my point on the hideous stock body. I wasn’t sure if I was clear on that point. 🤣

Same here. And if a Mog shows up in the story line, I’m sueing! 🤣

IMOP
Put a missal battery or two on the back or One big ICBM?
Missal battery is better that way when you get to a big root or rock you can blow it up so you can crawl over. Sort of nothing to big I can't handle?

Or a big Jet engine on the back

either way to me it has the Military truck kind of look just different color

Now you're giving me ideas for what to do with the rear end of my TRX6. I'm already 3D printing a cab in this style.

Seconded, it already look like a recovery truck, a little boom crane would be awesome. Or go full send and build a roll back wrecker bed.

Looking great Dez. It’s ideal really, the Trx6 truck with UMG body. The best part of both 6x6 platforms put together.

A tow boom would be cool. The rig is such a beast that is seems appropriate really.

Or you could go full nerd and build out a UMG 6x6 limousine for Darth Vader

I bought a can of PS-48 anodized aluminum to make the Mogdalorian match the Razor Crest. But since this is a vacation rig, I thought the Air Force One blue looked cool. And it’s a fitting color for my Easter egg.😉

I was thinking the same. It looks like a recovery vehicle.

Thanks Smog. I have my design team working on a boom. 👍🏼

You've probably already seen it, but here's a TRX6 with a roll back.
