Kaetwo's K2-6 6x6...

[kaetwo]

Well with all the 6x6 rigs poping up everywhere, I figured I had better jump all over it. I thought it would be a good opportunity to come out with another nitch specific chassis like the K2-4. This one I call the K2-6 (for 6x6), ah the cleverness of me :lol: More to come in the Reign RC Vendor Forum soon.

So Zach and Pinch both got me all fired up about these rigs and each of them built there 6x6's a little different. I chose to do a 4-Link system on each axle and it works great!

The bed format is from a trials rig that I have seen on several German trials sites. It was pretty cool and very simple to do. The rest of the build is really straight forward. Naturally I'm powering it with a Tekin FX-R ESC, Spektrum receiver, MaxAmps 3C Lipo and a 55x1 hand wound. I still have some finishing touches to make, such as a light bar across the front (like Miniwheelers 8x8) and some tail lights. I would also like to add some sort of front skid and put the finishing touches on the axles. Oh, and add a winch for good measure ;-)

Well enough chit chat, onto the images.

Enjoy!

[kaetwo]

Yup "thumbsup"

I figured that there may be 3 or 4 of us that may want a production 6x6 chassis. I guess it could be used for a longer wheelbased rig like a F650 or something. That would make 5 sales :lol:

Ya Zach has a problem, I get a kick out of seeing what he comes up with next. I was wondering how long it would take him to build an 8x8:lol:. I wanted to buy his KII-5 Jeep but instead I bought the Wife a car for her and JrSpEd.
Tell you what if you need axles for a proto type I have plenty of TLT axles just waiting for you. Of course I get to keep them with the chassis:lol:.
