😱 CRAZY OFF ROAD 6X6 UNIMOG WITH WORLDS FIRST BESPOKE CANTILEVER SUSPENSION - CROSS RC EMO NT6

Testing continues on the WORLDS FIRST prototype cantilever suspension for this crazy 6x6 Unimog, the amazing 1/10th scale Cross RC Emo NT6.
The NT6 is an amazing looking vehicle but it lacked in the ability department… that’s where my buddy Gavin comes in! Gavin has designed and manufactured a bespoke cantilever setup for his own Traxxas TRX6 and after seeing it and giving it a little test run, my mind was made up…. I had to have this setup for my NT6!!
After much persuasion, Gavin finally gave in and proceeded to design and manufacture a whole new setup for the Cross RC (because annoyingly the TRX design wont fit the NT6)
A few test days and videos later, here we are with a totally transformed vehicle, quite possibly the most capable 1/10th scale rc crawler in the world!!
Word soon spread about this bespoke setup and I have had quite a few comments and emails sent to me asking where this kit can be bought..
Gavin has asked for a list of names that would like to purchase this very limited kit (if not enough interest, there’s no point assembling all the parts to complete the kits)
If you are interested, let me know in the comments below, and let me know what vehicle you want it for, the Cross RC NT6, or the Traxxas TRX6?

Insane build! Lovr the articulation

[@TimsRcsurgery]

I love watching the suspension do its thing 😃

[@HannesMalliga]

I am also interessted for the nt6! Would be nice you guys decide to produce it! Keep me updated!

[@PleasureAfterWorkRcCrawlers]

Seeing your NT6, with the Cantilever, makes me want it...but only if I can get the Cantilever for it.

[@TimsRcsurgery]

It’s an amazing rig with the cantilever, it’s 100% my favourite rig at the moment 😃

[@Lucians_legacy]

This is awesome!! I don't really have the money for a truck like this right now, but when I do, I would love to get this suspension setup.

[@TimsRcsurgery]

They are awesome things 😃

[@ScopsLog]

Depends a bit on the price. I don’t even have a TRX6 yet, but it’s on my to-do list. I’d be interested in a cantilever kit for it.

[@dominic5121]

im for sure interested in the kit for the NT6

[@TimsRcsurgery]

Will hopefully know more about what’s happening soon 😃

[@pandacrawler6x6]

🎉Congrats my Friend is a Beauty and a Performer rc Truck 💪🏻🏆👍🏻

[@tcooper6993]

Absolute great build. Would like to have a set of cantilevers from your side if they will happen. Thanx and cheers mate!

[@TheJSR111]

I just made the first ever NT8 love your NT6 🤘

[@TimsRcsurgery]

Haha!! Beat me to it 😂

[@CrawlerCanyon]

TRX-6 all day.

[@TimsRcsurgery]

No doubt about it, the TRX6 is the benchmark for 6x6 vehicles, but I’m a sucker for the underdog 😃

[@CrawlerCanyon]

@@TimsRcsurgery well, some small bias as I have a TRX-6 that I could cantilever today, and still have no Cross in my fleet.

[@TimsRcsurgery]

@CrawlerCanyon takes a bit of work to get the NT6 to perform, but easily done within the same budget as a TRX6, just nice to have a choice, found your channel last week on recommendation from someone in the Cross RC group, great content 😃👍

[@paulnorton7444]

It works well and still makes a little challenging if it performs to well it may become boring 👍

[@TimsRcsurgery]

Just opens up different terrain, definitely still a challenge 😃

[@johngisbourne7197]

I would buy one for the NT6

[@flosim2132]

At6, interested

[@daveyroy4260]

Saw this and yes I'm interested for my unimog 6x6. Please love this set up

[@randallmorrow2100]

Would be intresred in the nts 6

[@TimsRcsurgery]

😃 no problem, thanks for the comment 😃

[@rcplaytime]

hell of a machine 💪💪😎😎👍👌👌

[@byrddmann0113]

Very cool. I'm interested, it also depends on the price. Do you think it would work on a Cross Rc JT-6 6X6 ?

[@-1-2-1-]

6x6s have a opportunity to have opposing torque twist effect on the two rear axles. Does the NT6 have that or do they both twist in the same direction?

[@TimsRcsurgery]

These both twist in the same direction, torque twist is definitely a thing with this rig, my quick fix was to fit a heavier spring on the front left, not ideal but it’s all I could think to do with what I had available

[@-1-2-1-]

@@TimsRcsurgery Thats a pity they didnt reverse the sixth axle. For your crossrc, you could modify your suspension to a see saw layout with a single shared shock absorber. This would allow you to have high roll stiffness (to resist torque twist) and very low axle to axle stiffness. Perhaps your friend could reconfigure your suspension to achieve this.

[@eddyditta1]

hi middle and top 😍. Is the catilevr self-built and what kit are you selling? and like the one found on AliExpress? and for axial it's fine for 6x6 thanks

[@TimsRcsurgery]

It was designed and manufactured by a friend of mine, there is no kit yet, still undecided if it’s worth the effort at the moment.

[@jayleeson8517]

Trx6 set up for me please. Love the fuel tanks. If you have ridiculous torque twist check your relationship between your panhard link and steering link.

[@7.92Gav]

It's not a chisel you need, it's a highly modified TRX6 😉😂

[@TimsRcsurgery]

Was wondering how long it would take you to chime in 🤣🤣🤣

[@7.92Gav]

@@TimsRcsurgery Oh yeah, show me the rocks 💪

[@TimsRcsurgery]

@@7.92Gav looking forward to showing you how it’s done 🤣

[@jacobfrederiksen1851]

Interested in the set for crossrc jt6

[@Rc-Adventurers]

Would you at least consider selling the cad/STL for people to 3d print a set?

[@TimsRcsurgery]

Not for me to decide at the moment, maybe in the future 😃

[@robinkoning401]

Nt6, interested but depending on price point

[@TimsRcsurgery]

Well these won’t be mass produced in china, they will be made in a machine shop in the UK, if nobody wants to pay the man for his efforts then he won’t waste his time making them, but we are still figuring things out and will put a price together before production 👍😃 Hopefully won’t be too bad for what you get 🤞🤞

[@alvott9201]

I'm interested for unimog 6x6

[@larstimmers-vl3cc]

I'm intrested, do you have it also for the NT4?

[@TimsRcsurgery]

These are for rear axles only, you would only need 1/2 a set and I’m sure they will fit, you might have to drill a hole in the chassis rail (I had to with the NT6) Just be aware that it will be a lot less stable (body roll) if you run with the bed and canopy fitted

[@larstimmers-vl3cc]

Are they already for sale?

[@TimsRcsurgery]

@@larstimmers-vl3ccno, not as of yet.. it was never an intention to make any more, still in the process of deciding if it’s worth the hassle, hopefully have an answer soon 😊

[@arransrc]

Interested in this for my trx6 pls keep me informed

[@burakoztosun2976]

I am interested for my nt6

[@rdrc4586]

Definitely still interested quick question, would the TRX six work on the hauler?

[@rdrc4586]

What about a steering rear axle?

[@TimsRcsurgery]

I don’t see any reason why not but I’m not 100% certain..

[@TimsRcsurgery]

@@rdrc4586 that’s a very good suggestion 😃

[@rdrc4586]

Thanks for your reply Do think the slightly longer wheelbase on the hauler would be better or worse ? Understand your comment, 100% watching the articulation is just brilliant. Can’t wait to have one of my own. Really hope you introduced this thanks, Richard

[@TimsRcsurgery]

@@rdrc4586 you might need to play with spring rates and oil, I can’t really comment as we’ve not tried it on one, you’re seeing the results of our tests within a day or 2 of us. Do you use the hauler to “haul”?

[@kaap009]

depends on price.. (NT6)

[@TimsRcsurgery]

Just need an idea of numbers before trying to work out a price, will keep you updated 👍
