Nice build. I'd love to see some detail shots of how you built that bed. I've been trying to figure out what to do with the back end of my cantilever TRX6 Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk |

That definitely helps a little. Still looks like hieroglyphics to me though. I might have to wait until your action video to wrap my head around how it all works. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk |

Here's a video of an early test. https://youtu.be/zHWoiucWREw If your looking for just a tilt set up like a dump truck, look at the Lesu lever lift mechanism. I recently finished a tilt trailer for my snowcats using one. |

Can't say I've ever seen an RC with a functioning tilt deck. Well done. What's all this towing wizardry add in weight? |

Awesome. The way you packaged everything in the center makes it look like the TRX4 was designed to work with this configuration. All I can see is the single additional servo at the rear; is that the only servo you added for this?

meatmonkey: I haven't weighed it. I did add a pair of cantilever shocks to the rear shocks. DirtMerchant: The chassis lends itself well to the conversion. The stock battery tray tilts, so I swapped out the tray for aluminum plate which makes the other changes pretty straight forward. One rear servo is all I used. It would be pretty easy to convert the 6 into a dump truck. |

Here are a couple other mods I did. I made a set of rear snowtracks and used front paddle tires for the snow. Paddle tires front & rear for the soft sand/dirt. Front snowplow attachment. The blade moves side to side and up & down. |

This thing is awesome bro! I'm trying to finish up a trx-6 project with a flat bed and have been having a hard time figuring out how to do the tilt and slide bed. Can you post a parts list maybe with links to the parts?  I would love to get this project off the bench and on the rocks. Thank you!!! Has changed a little since this pic, but the bed has new stalled out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
