Finally, a real review on the SCX6 instead of the infomercials from those that got freebies. Also just a great RC video.. Thank you!

Those types have gotten worse nowadays. It's even got people crossing over from "vlogging" calling themselves doing rc reviews but have the camera stuck in their fugly faces for 5, 10, 15 minutes until they show the rc, but only for a few minutes...... AND THEN immediately stick the camera back in their faces AGAIN!

Great review! My crawling days are in the past but I keep my Losi Comp Crawler running in case I get an itch. That is the cool thing about RC. We all go through phases and you never know when something may come back in your life. I had the gasoline 1/5th HPI Baja buggy and that thing was a blast to build and drive.

Great review of the truck! I was just curious to what people though of them and I think your video was one of the most honest ones I have seen. Everyone else's was ok but they were just so hyped up about it being the newest and coolest thing and giving a review after one run was not what I was looking for. I appreciate you going out and getting used to it and some decent run time over various areas before giving your thoughts.

Great video, and you are a big boy with a big truck dammit! I haven’t been doing any surface stuff since I sold my 8th Scale Mugen buggy and suddenly had time and money again. Despite the high price this seems like an excellent value. All the electronics are top notch, and that’s a hell of a transmitter for an RTR. Doesn’t seem like they cheaped out anywhere, really. And as a crawler, you won’t have to buy a new set of proline tires every 25 seconds, which really adds up.

There's a trick if the battery goes out and you don't want to carry all the way back to your vehicle. Simply power it off and move the gear servo to the center between high and low. Once in neutral just loop some rope around the front bumper and you can roll it anywhere you want like a wagon. Probably easier if you hold the front wheels off the ground. Better than carrying it all the way to your car. 😉👍

Great video. I’ve had mine for about a week and I love it. The only issue I’ve had is a seemingly minor roll over causing a side mirror to punch through the body pretty good.

If SCX6 comes in a kit I might consider it. I like to drive things fast in addition to rock crawling. 4S for the SCXIII, 6S for my two 1/8 Traction Hobby Rubicon & Tank 300. I think the SCX6 should be powered by 8S capable ESC & motor. At this scale, its movement will be very nice at speed. Here is the problem though: it will not last long at 6S, and 8S will probably damage it in just a few minutes.😆
