Upgrading the Jeep Wrangler Falken G6

how well are those trailing arms working, it looks like the mount would want to catch easily.

They work great, yes the mount likes to get caught up but it seems to hold up okay. I'm going to try out a different way to mount them so I don't have anything thing hanging below the chassis rails.
 
Re: SCX10 G6 With Trailing Arms

Here are some pictures of the first version of my trailing arm setup:

Then last night I decided to try to mount the trailing arms to the frame with a more solid setup, I figured I was able to mount them right to the frame and not have the trailing arms hit the scaler fab rock sliders. Once I did that I gained quite a bit more of down travel.

I definitely need a sway bar with this newly found travel!

Re: SCX10 G6 With Trailing Arms

Now that is an interesting set up, love the ingenuity.
We had a guy at our last comp try those tires on a C3 Wraith. They don't hook up well at all on wet, cold, snowy stuff. Look great though, and I even told him I bet if it were dry and warm he would be flying.

It's held up really well. I ran it for the whole AxialFest last year, if you haven't been it was a Recon G6 on steroids, and it didn't break at all.

When I was running those tires on dry dirt and rocks they worked better than I thought they would, but I can see them not being able to work in mud or snow...
 
Was able to get it out and do some testing with the new setup and I must say it worked really nice. The sway bar limited the articulation a little so I had a wheel off the ground every once in a while but it seemed like the only thing holding it back was the tires. Also put on my blue deadbolt body to change it up a bit.

Here is the video for my testing session of my new setup using the sway bar and the trailing arms bolted right to the frame. It did really well but it seemed like the only thing that was holding it back was the tires.

What color blue is that body now? It looks good.

hey man, new G6 owner here , and new to crawling to . Great tread , and great video's man .

Hope I can fire away a few questions once in a while :-)
 
The Proline BFG Baja's worked great and you could really hear them gripping in and clawing at the dirt, think I'll keep them on it but I need a new jeep body so I'm not mix and matching sponsors.

I also use the Proline BFG Bajas on my G6 Falken. I must say I am really surprised how well they perform! Based on looks I expected them to have medium grip, but they stick to rock really, really well..

If you are tired of trying to but the body clips in check out my build... Keep it simple keep it stock or my wroncho build. I cut some of the roll bar and added a brace attacking the lower sections.
