Axial UMG10 6x6 Upgrade Series - 5 things to do first

[@yomomaj1612]

Good points. I picked up one myself ,actually wife got it for me for Christmas surprise surprise...and my drive shaft was laying in the box when I opened it. Took it on some serious crawls today and it did well. I was impressed with servo even considering its so underpowered for the rig. Tires and rims will be first for me followed bg some suspension work and brass... Ready to see this thing get flexy

[@RevolutionX]

You will have so much fun crawling with these. Key is to drive it like a crawler and it will bring smiles!

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Great video! Nice tips, I just got my 6x6 will be doing a few of the things mentioned. Liked and subscribed 😎👊✌

[@RevolutionX]

Thanks for the sub! It's really a fun rig aside from a few of the issues. You can definitely take care of them and build this up to be a very fun rig though!

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

@@RevolutionX My pleasure, from a fellow youtuber 😁 check my channel it's RC related to! Will be watching your other 6x6 videos!

[@MRPB54]

Ran mine today after fixing my non existant front diff bearing lol. only thing I did was your brace and Boomracing Driveshafts apart from that completely stock. I love how good this runs out on the trails my next thing ill do is probably tires and leave it as is until something breaks.

[@RevolutionX]

Yeah that's enough to have a lot of fun with this thing right away. A lot of potential, and at the $350 price... room for a bunch of tuning and personalization!

[@Hondadude87]

I bought one. I couldn’t pass up the deal. I was shocked how capable it was out of the box

[@RevolutionX]

Yeah, that deal was fantastic! One extra axle for the price of a regular 4x4 rig! No-brainer! On top of that, all the aftermarket of a SCX10II at its disposal.

[@glog7682]

Got mine today driveshaft fell out the rig and was loose in box. and the clicking in the middle axle was there. Guess I’ll have to shim it soon. Hopefully there will be a video of that

[@RevolutionX]

Ah, that's a bummer about needing to shim! The driveshaft is easy enough to take care of though.

[@glog7682]

@@RevolutionX I’m just hoping the clicking doesn’t strip something an I can atleast enjoy it for a bit haha

[@HBGEB]

Great vid and excellent info

[@RevolutionX]

Thanks 👍

[@codygores4036]

Stock rock sliders from the scx10 iii jlu jeep fit the umg 6x6 body pretty much perfectly

[@RevolutionX]

Cool, I might try them out. I'm currently using some SCX10 sliders.

[@darrennixon1986]

Don't suppose you have a part number or a link to the rock sliders I'm after a pair for my 6x6? They the SCX10 III jeep wrangler sliders? Cheers

[@LowGainElectronics]

Very good tips! The junFac shafts I’ve had issues with (on 4x4) the pins wanting to come out. I will hit you up for the chassis braces as I don’t have a 3D printer

[@RevolutionX]

That's good to know! I'll keep an eye out for that issue if I swap to the Junfac shafts. So far the ones I bought are holding up fine, it was just the o-ring for a pin retainer that annoyed me.

[@jmacsgarage]

Great video! I just picked up one used. It’s missing the upper half of the snorkel. Do you know of anyone 3d printing them? I’ve been looking around but haven’t been able to find a replacement. I thought about trying to find another snorkel and try to make it work.

[@RevolutionX]

These 6x6's are so fun. I can't think of any other place to look for the snorkel other than robbing it off another UMG10 or UMG10 6x6. The parts area already scarce for the body. If I have some time, I can model it up and 3D print one. I'll let you know if I get around to it.

[@marcodada1094]

I have the 6x6 UMG now for one month and I drive it 2 times a week for around 2 hours each. Now the middle differential seems to loose its potential - the wheels are not turning anymore. I guess I have to shimm (did I write it correct?) it, hopefully it is not broken yet

[@RevolutionX]

Yup, looks like you have to shim the gears/output shaft. It's a real puzzling one. Some people have issues with it, and some don't. The most foolproof way to get rid of the issue is to just divorce the rear axles into separately driven driveshafts.

[@stanstevens4452]

Love this 6x6 interested in getting the upgrades from you, that you 3d printed, let me know how to purchase. I appreciate and enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

I try you link for the chassis brace but no open i need the chassis brace

[@RevolutionX]

If you're talking about the picture preview on thingiverse... yeah it doesn't work, but you can still download the files. If you don't have a 3D printer and need someone to print it, contact me at [e-mail] and I can print one out for you for a fair price.

[@rccvs4355]

Great video, but I can't find the file for the divorce transfer case, do you know the link please and also the name of those drive shafts? Thank you !!

[@RevolutionX]

Here you go. www.thingiverse.com/thing:4592292 Read his description for additional things that you'll need in order to do this. I'll make a video on this in the future!

[@rccvs4355]

@@RevolutionX Perfect thank you !!

[@Pedro123-s6v]

Excellent video👌 .... As usual ... If this truck matches the components with the 4x4, it would include in the list, the shock absorbers and the metal end rods.

[@RevolutionX]

Good call! You can live with the stock ones initially, but yeah you definitely should change them out later on. Especially the rod ends.

[@dezfan]

Just picked up a TRX6, but for $350.00, I’m so tempted.🤣

[@RevolutionX]

Alas, you may have missed out unless you have a local hobby shop that is still selling it for the sale price. $350 for a 6x6 is definitely a deal worth taking on this one.

[@abelvasquez2804]

what are the new rear drive shafts you recomend ?couldnt catch name on video

[@RevolutionX]

Any steel driveshafts that are made as a 2 piece design male/female. I mentioned Junfac, but I've heard good things about Boom Racing BADASS Driveshafts as well.

[@cagerage21]

Great video! I jumped on this deal also man. Can you post the link to the junfac drive shafts? I will be doing these mods this week!!

[@RevolutionX]

The driveshafts seem to be out of stock right now. www.rpphobby.com/product_p/jun90046.htm All you really need is the rear-most driveshaft though. Look for a 2-piece driveshaft with the length around 85mm compressed 113mm extended.

[@cagerage21]

@@RevolutionX Awesome man!! Great channel and thanks for responding so quickly. Hope you had a great Christmas!

[@josecanseca8979]

HELLO brother,I Have a Question WILL THE GMADE BOM U DID BEFORE THE ''STOCK GMADE BOM FRONT BUMPER ''',WORK OR WILL FIT ON THE TRX4 SPORT??iS IT COMPATIBLE ?aNY FEEDBACK IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

[@RevolutionX]

You know, I have never tried, but I know the mounting system is different. The TRX4 Sport bumper mount have square pegs if I remember correctly? The GMADE BOM has Axial style round pegs.
