TRX6 Ultimate Hauler: Can It Crawl?
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 07. 2024
- The Traxxas TRX6 Ultimate RC Hauler finally arrived in Australia last week. The first thing we did with ours was to get it onto our grueling 6-problem test course! These rocks don't lie and we want to know: it can haul, but can it crawl?
Let's test!

This is the toughest crawling test I can remember seeing for this truck. Good job! Watching it teeter on top of problem #2 was fun.
Thanks, and that was fun eh! I'm glad this has been useful to people! I don't like destroying things for destruction's sake but there's utility in this one :)
Man I been hiking n healing the last few days with the sweetest rig I've ever seen.. The AT6 EMO from Cross RC Is without a doubt the best rtr I ever pulled out of a box body fitment is second to none.. n I mean the body tucks in behind the bumpers perfectly n sliders for the best protection I've ever seen on an rc truck the trans shifts effortlessly from low to high.. the diffs too.. I've never had a rig with these features.. but everything is beefy n I'm not afraid to point thing thing at anything n pull the throttle!!! thanks for the heads up.. best 600 I ever dropped on a truck.. I have vids of it.. im not you by any means though 😂 but one handed driving sure isn't easy 😂
Hey great! I'm not at all surprised at your experience, Cross RC make great things. I need to get around to more of their vehicles, I have several in boxes here. Really glad you're getting out and that you've got a success story with this rig :)
You kind of beat the hell out of it. You are the first one I’ve seen beat it up on the rocks love it. None of my RC’s are shelf queens doesn’t matter how expensive they are I buy them to perform & bring a smile to my face.
Needed to be done and I'm happy to do it! Gotta know it's limits somehow, right?
I haven't finished this video but had to comment seems pretty dang impressive
Haha my thoughts during filming too :)
You sure put it through its paces. Can't imagine the Traxxas engineers had crawling in mind when they designed the truck but it did ok on your course. Kudos to Traxxas for building a unique and fun vehicle. Thanks for the entertainment and I'll see you next time. Take care!
Thanks Chris. I kinda agree with you, regarding crawling - they didn't design it for crawling but by building it on the TRX base it came baked into the end result. There are many crawlers that can't do as well as this did, and that isn't a case of luck! It's not a bad all rounder, eh?
@@RCTNT Agreed. It's a pretty good all rounder. I can imagine how much fun it would be to load your Fazer on the back, go run a bunch of laps followed by a casual crawl with the Hauler. Many possibilities!
Absolutely :)
After attempting all 6 problems, we can safely assume, this truck is an all wheel drive, six wheel problem 😋😉
One problem per wheel. It did alright, all things considered. Not many RCs with a bed and that wheelbase could get 3 of 6, I suspect! The TRX lineage did it proud!
This is an excellent review. It did better on the tests than some other crawlers that were suppose be true crawlers. It's just a fun truck in my opinion.
It very much is :)
Hello from southeast alaska sweet I love that 6x6 bro
Hello from southeast Australia thanks man, I like it too :)
What's funny is this did better on your problems than I would have ever expected 😆. It's SO long it looks comical on the problems, but I was really rooting for it when you had the two front wheels in air. Some of the local folks bought this and use it to haul their comp rigs to the comp site. Some of the crawl spots are a ways from the parking lots so folks have some creative solutions to get the rigs out. Really enjoyed this one and I'm excited to see what you do with this Hauler! 👏
It's not bad eh!
I've used my BC8 and trailer to haul rigs to comps before. It carries 4 crawlers and still goes at jogging speed in 2nd gear off road without breaking a sweat. Towing stuff in general is just fun :)
Such an amazing and unlikely performance. I enjoyed watching it 😄
Heh yes! Unlikely is the word. It did much better than its length would suggest, eh. Thanks for watching :)
Useful and also a bit comical to see this thing on the 6 problems lol good stuff.
I wish my kids were into RC but nope.
Thanks Scott! Glad it was useful. This thing pretends to be a hauler but that trx4 running gear cannot be repressed - crawling is in its heritage and its capable for its size!
Good stuff. Valuable content for sure
Thanks!
That is one big rig!! Love the car!! Great video!!
Aye! Thanks :)
nice review bro👍😎
Love that hauler. My next RC’s New TRX Chevy Truck & Carisma Toyota Tacoma Pro licensed. Eventually I will get the Hauler.
Very nice. I'm trying 68 get my hands on that carisma too!
@@RCTNT I went directly to Carisma site & it was available & I’ve ordered the Coyote 2.1 from them the same way but this time during shipping it said cannot ship to my address package to big. I haven’t had time to look into it so I have no idea maybe ship it to my work?
Thanks, I've used shipito for over a decade and may use them again. Will try a LHS first, that'd be preferable!
Ha, very cool :)
The steering and being stuck is kind of like watching an AI on a video game struggle lamo
Heh, yes, that has the same feel. Nice.
Personally, if I were to buy TRX6, I would definitely consider this one.🤘🤘🤘
Definitely worthy of consideration!
I have a og trx6 and I've stripped off the bumpers muffelers put a trx4 sport half cab and a flat metal back on it 1080 esc with a crawlmaster motor on bf goodrich ta crawler tires on aluminum Amazon rims she's a beast now goes anywhere
That sounds epic! Inspiring even... Makes me look at mine and think 🤔
@@RCTNT ya I loved the stock mercedes look but I never used it now its a daily driver
Nailed it. It's gotta capture your desire for fun and adventure and the stock body doesn't do it for me either! I'm really liking what you described.
@@RCTNT Kool let's me know if the fo down the rabbit 🐇 hole like me lol I think it's worth it why have a 700 shelf queen 👸 lol
Absolutely :)
interesting video, thank you for posting it 👍🍺🇬🇧
My pleasure! It was fun to make. Cheers
@@RCTNTI just bought one! however it's being modified on day one ..... still a great video, I want a challenge as my other trucks are too easy to drive over everything 👍🍺🇬🇧
This thing drives things 4x4s cannot. Prepare to be surprised if it's your first multi axle rig!
@@RCTNThmmmm I tried to reply, and for some reason my reply was removed? I have no idea why, but I wrote that I had built my own multi wheel truck. Bit scared to write more at this time. Someone or something has objected to my words which doesn't make sense as I wasn't swearing, or untruthful. Bit unhappy with this but I love your video and my latest purchase 👍🍺🇬🇧
awesome to see you attempt the 6 with this.. n that it actually succeeded on half is in my opinion given what this truck is not 😂.. that's a fair shake in my view.. not sure how I missed this in 6 month's.. but glad it popped up now.. I actually never knew this truck came out till a week ago 😂 sweet review!!!
Thanks Bill!
(Now, go search for Cross RC JT6 and Cross RC WT4 - they're both rather epic)
@@RCTNT how you know I've never seen either.. n until the video where you just mentioned them with the base camp n the older comp rig.. I've actually never heard of cross rc.. im a long time novice bashers.. n fell away from the hobby for yrs.. so a lot im not up on i gather..
There is very much going on in the hobby that is just so amazing. I have some epic things to share, already here in my office. The cross rc brand is amazing. I'm not sponsored by them at all but I am a long time fan.
If you search my channel you'll find some fabulous cross rc already. Look for the Hydraulic Wheel Loader video, for example - three great models there. Wheel loader, cross rc trailer and BC8 Mammoth truck. All brilliant.
@@RCTNT Your a bad influence Mr.. 😂 I gotta put some trucks on market place... as I just ordered the at6 EMO 6x6 from cross rc.. took some doing getting the transaction to clear my banks fraud detection.. but it was on sale at 559.00 dollars.. 605 total.. reg price is over 700.. so not bad... after watching several videos it's just been gnawing at me lol. it looks so good trailing as well as epic crawling situations...
Oh sweet! The JT6 has been in my cart for a while. I think you're going to love it :)
Your son's a lucky lad, if it's going his way. 😎👍🏻
Heh, he's not really interested. Yet. I'll build whatever he wants with him and he might go for it one day, who knows. We wheel together now and then on whatever he wants to drive - there's a bit to choose from here - but I'm happy to support him whatever he's into. This is a great machine, for sure!
@@RCTNT I was the same with my son. When I dug my Tamiya Manta Ray and King Cab out of the shed a few years ago, he used those. Then I got a crawler, a Gmade R1, and he loved and used that. Once I was sure he knew what he was doing, and treated the car with respect and asked if he could have one of his own, he got an FTX Mauler for Christmas. He's got 4 cars now, and loves them all. He built his own Tamiya last year. A Blitzer Beetle. I think that's probably his favourite. Whatever he wants to take out, we have similar cars, so we can do the same thing. It's a great way to spend quality time with him, outside, and away from screens and computers. 😎👍🏻
Amazing, that's perfect! We ride bikes, bushwalk and build things together but maybe he'll get into RC sometime. We'll see.
@@RCTNT fingers crossed. 👍🏻
So, you can put a broken down TRX$ on there 😎
You can!
To be honest, I'm surprised it made it over any due to the extremely long wheelbase and the "tanks" etc on the sides...
For the kind of rig it is, the crawling performance is impressive eh!
@@RCTNT for sure! I've seen extended cab long wheel base pickups in the rough and they get hung up all the time for the same reason.
I forget which one, was it 4? it was almost made for that. The spacing on the rocks followed the wheelbase almost exactly....
@@muskokamike127 yes! Walked that one, didn't it :)
G'day. I'm looking at adding a 6x6 crawler to my collection. Which one do you reckon gives the best overall crawling performance?
My answer to that is a tie between Cross RC EMO AT6 and/or Traxxas TRX6 AMG63.
@@RCTNT cheers!
What is the runtime with 3S 5000 lipo🤔😃
About the same as a 2S 3300mah lipo - which is to say, between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on how much throttle you use and what load the motor has to carry (either with a heavy actual load or boggy ground, etc).
@@RCTNT thanks for getting back to me 👍😊 VERY cool Truck!!. Choice is between this one or Gelandewagen 6x6🤔🤔 both awesome trucks, although this one is BIG!!😎
I've got a video on that here too, just check my channel. Despite the same running gear, they're quite different vehicles, that's for sure! The original trx6 is the better driver and crawler, but that flat bed is cool.
Isso e um caminhao e nao um escalador de pedras kkkkk
Clearly it's both! I test everything on the same obstacles so we have an idea of capability, relative to everything else. It's the only place to get such data that I'm aware of, which is why I do it for so many cars!
Too hard to watch mine is 1 week old
lol yes, I can understand that! For what it's worth, I've used this rig a LOT since then and it's very durable indeed, much like any TRX4 or 6 before it. Quality machine, electronics aside. Nice choice, I hope you're enjoying it!
