CROSS RC NT6 or TRAXXAS TRX6 WHICH IS BEST?

Having already uploaded a video unboxing the Cross RC Emo NT6 and comparing it to a highly modified Traxxas TRX6, I felt it only fair to start upgrading the NT6 to see if it can really compete with the king of 6x6 crawlers.
So far I have replaced the stock motor/ESC with a Hobbywing Fusion 2300kv, an AGFRC steering servo, added some weight to the wheels, changed springs and removed the loading bed.
We head to location “Z” to pit these 2 beasts against each other, will the underdog NT6 hold its own? Or will I need to further modify it?
Watch to find out!!

You should stuff the cavity in the front bumper with lead fishing weights

I have extra brass and have tried more weight in the front, it was too much and made it terrible for descending, it’s pretty much dialled now 😃 Too much weight isn’t a good thing, same as too little. I’ve since modified the front bumper as it was getting hooked on everything

I love the TRX-6 model, which body is that please? Is it possible to order it like this?

Cool Spot and Challenging obstacles!!! Awesome Unboxing and Review of a Cool Mog!!!! Right of the box and Lets Upgrade 😂 🐼👌🏻 and a Nice Vs!!

We'll do our magic on it. The cantilevers will help stability & traction. I know you're struggling to get soft enough springs, but if we run the cantilever system at roughly 2:1 to increase travel, then the stiffer springs will work. The sprung weight is so light on the NT6 that driving over an obstacle on a side slope is tilting the chassis rather than being soaked up by axle articulation. Need to make it more gecko like 👌

[@TimsRcsurgery]

I’ve been fettling today by adding weight… it didn’t help at all, thing I’ll remove it all again as it’s putting the drivetrain under unnecessary stress. The springs as it sits are waayyy too stiff!!

[@7.92Gav]

​​@@TimsRcsurgeryI'd start with just the +10mm brass hexs & the steel wheels. I'd leave adding any wheel weights until after the suspension has been changed. I hope to get it nice and pliable.

[@TimsRcsurgery]

@@7.92Gav it felt horrible with the weight…. Light, low and suspension that can actually move is the way to go 😊

Hi love the ford transit supper van video could you please tell me what shade of tamiya ps blue paint you used 😊

[@TimsRcsurgery]

Oh… Now you’re asking 😱 From memory, I think it was PS59 backed with PS1 white then PS12 silver.

@@TimsRcsurgery exalent I was thinking that's what it might be thanks for that 👍
