[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Get your very own TRX-6 Right here - bit.ly/3axdzQy

[@josefdahari]

I’m not to crazy about crawling. But that thing is a beauty. I might have to get me one. Just to look at it

[@itcantbetruebutis7778]

Right just putting it in low gear to climb shit then out to the open trail looks sick to me

[@KevinTalbotTV]

Looks sick but here in uk we have to wait till November:(

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

I’m hearing it’s £780 over there or about $300 more than the price here after tax!

[@snower7648]

Oh hi there

[@freddieparrydrums]

@@DriftomaniacsRC yep... rip.

[@itcantbetruebutis7778]

The way the world is going these days may want to mount a machine gun turret on this sucker SMH. Is sick tho goes thru anything especially with a better motor and metal gears ⚙ instead of plastic where u can

[@paulbutcherrc809]

Awesome great review I’ve just ordered one

[@corecasrcworld7100]

She’s absolutely gorgeous mate. Bravo! 👏🏽 on getting your hands on I’ve so soon 😉👍🏽

[@islandrc-duke1972]

great review and unboxing,looks awesome

[@windschacht8307]

My first thought: I WANT ONE!!

[@xmaxxfan1857]

Traxxas needs to make a 6 wheel drive xmaxx 😀

[@robbrcnstuff4220]

I'm going to pre-order one after work today, excellent review!

[@kevensun]

Traxxas, on their site, specify 90mm shocks all around and the 2.2” wheels w/ tires still measure 4.7” in diameter. Long travel shocks would be awesome on this rig though!

[@Simppa12]

Because In side and out side looks really cool and its waterproof and it has high low system.

[@n34rconverter96]

sisunen jobs wait even with those wires hanging out is it still waterproof

[@ivanpacheco6649]

Great channel not like other people you actually tell us the tiny details great review!!! Edit: so the motor is going to over heat?

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

possibly! :-)

[@Salesdog0221]

Love this thing... It will be my 1st crawler. they show it in a gray color - any idea if those are being released as well?

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Tom I will check in the morning, as I have to say I didn't specify a color when I ordered mine, I will find out for both of us!

[@Salesdog0221]

Awesome... cant wait to hear back - awesome video's by the way

[@adidastrev8689]

Beautiful rig! Cant wait to see you take it on the trail!

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

me and you both! It should be a good one to test my new gopro hypersmooth out on as well

[@jdpaslRC]

That is really nice. I like it much better with clear windows. No black windows!

[@TinyTiresRC]

Love the included LED, and Long Travel shocks. Outside of that, the TRX-4 is the new cow at Traxxas. Milk it until it dies. The G500 4x4 squared did not do well at F&M. We've only had a few preorder requests for the 6x6. I didn't get to see one first hand, but it's definitely huge... Lol. Good video as always Richie.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Thanks! I think the body on the G500 is that nice it may put people off e.g. don't want to scratch it. Also I think the G500 would do better in real world colors (Have you seen a real blue one in that red or blue?) Thxs! :-)

[@TinyTiresRC]

@@DriftomaniacsRC No I haven't. Don't forget, Killer Body had this body available a few years ago. I don't recall the quality of it, but I'm sure it will be cheaper on the outset. I can see people looking for one of those and refitting them.

[@TinyTiresRC]

@@DriftomaniacsRC Also, I wish you where out here still. We've been racing in a parking lot Saturday nights... There's got to be some good footage there. We just can't always get it. Too busy exchanging paint!

[@FenrirFire18]

My local store has one on display. Pretty cool, might get a UDR though. Wish I could afford both.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

now it depends where you live and where you have to run it in, arguably it's easier to find places to run a crawler in, I've owned a UDR and it's a nice car but you need a big open area that's a loose surface, as it hates running on blacktop (traction rolls on blacktop a lot, on loose stuff you can drift it in turns on full throttle).

[@TonysRcTechboom]

First impression is It Looks Amazing 😱 ,still watching 👍

[@stevebevan1266]

Great video, is the black paint metallic or plain gloss.

[@cpbudgetrc4501]

Man i love your videos

[@TheCaliforniakid72]

nor cal love that place gotta go race and that rig is dope!!!

[@adamadams6740]

Pretty cool!you ever see Jang at not-cal??

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

No he stopped going several years ago when they moved locations

[@danon-theautisticmaker8112]

Decent video, but you really have to check your dimensions, there isn't any long travel kit included in this, the tires are just 1.9 size tires on 2.2 size wheels giving them a low-pro type appearance.

[@nobodynoone3428]

I'm going to wait for a sale, but I'll probably pick one up. It's just impressive.

[@itcantbetruebutis7778]

Never will be a sale shit is all going ^^^^^

[@VoidXRC]

Damn such a sweet rig!

[@gadgetmantwincities]

This will get me into crawling!

[@vincelemasurier7464]

Mate the front battery tray is in the ford bronco nothing new unfortunately 👍🏼

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

I know that but it's not in the orginal TRX4 which was the point I was wanting to make, apologies if that wasn't clearer, just highlighting that. I didn't get the bronco as I have one of the early TRX4'sm which I love the body on.!

[@zach5154]

Deciding between trx6 or axial 6x6

[@SoleEpiphany]

Zach should be an easy choice. The axial is a chassis extension. The TRX6 is a solid rail.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Cheers for that info, I've been that busy I'd not had chance to compare the two as yet, hopefully do a head to head with them soon as it comes in and the axials out.

[@stevebevan1266]

Traxxas all day long for me, axial looks cheapo.

[@SoleEpiphany]

Steve Bevan I agree, the Unimog is a classic truck IRL, I wonder what Redcat has up their sleeve. This is a great time for RC , Not so much for the bank account😳😂

[@TonysRcTechboom]

Fantastic unboxing Rich , think it's a beautiful piece of kit, 😱 still does my head in that your paying all that money and you still have to pay for the Battery and charger which will probably bump the price point over £800 so it's too expensive for me Bro, 😫 fantastic video , can't wait for you to do the Test Run 👍😊👍

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

I heard it was like 780gbp? is that true? Hope the operation went okay BTW

[@dadmercadventures7526]

Think my bronco gonna have to be shelf queen , as want one

[@Simppa12]

I have traxxas sport and team asociated toyota fj45 but i want 6x6 Mercedes g500 trx4.

[@HL-OOI]

Still nobody get the grey one..

[@DaVeHiLl200]

Man you videos are good but you do tend to bang on a bit (talk too much). You could do with shortening taking out of the box. Who cares what it says on the box? No doubt you'll go through all that when you go through the car when it's out of the box so you are repeating yourself make the video longer and more tedious. Just my opinion bro. Your reviews are so in depth that you can definitely loose some of it. The running of the vehicle is what I'm most interested in. Maybe try switching the format so as the vehicle running section comes before the in depth review? If we like how it runs well want to see what's "under the hood" 😎👍 Give it a try bud 😉 peace brother

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

you see I can't win, if I don't add detail then people complain I'm not covering enough. Vehicle to run should be here in 2 weeks. Speed test video up tonight at 5 PST. I'll unbox faster where I can.

[@daej312]

Looks like I will be selling my trx 4 Land Rover.... I need this ASAP

This beast may be too big and crazy to resist.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

They had my money at '6x6'!

[@Simppa12]

But i think its really expensive.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

long travel kit and the LED lights would cost you $350 to add to your stock TRX4. Which would take the price way over this which has them as stock. Just a thought!

[@mancavehobbies6213]

£780 in the uk no thanks

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Ouch! Is that with the VAT? Man I soooooo do not miss that 20% VAT (That's 20% sales tax to my USA friends/viewers). That puts it at $962 in the UK guys, now I do wonder about the Brexit affect on the pound? That's a huge difference. Even with 7% sales tax here in CA it'll be around $660 vs $962 in the UK if that 780 gbp is right (and I do believe you, just not checked it as yet).

[@MoBay876rc]

Like # 49 great review

[@JimmyB55]

I want to put a peterbilt body on one.

[@paulmccarter908]

Idk how this could be construed as a review..

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

so you don't want ANY close ups or ANY details about the car in a review??? So a review is best with no close ups, no info on the car, and maybe it driving around in the distance with no info on how it's performing? See my point? If you were buying a real car and the video 'review' consisted of someone getting in it, not showing you around it and driving it around without saying a word would work? Full 'Test Drive' of the truck coming as soon as it's in stock. An unboxing? I'd could do one, unpack the truck put it on the side and not say a word about it. That would be an unboxing in the strictest sense of the word. Everyone has their own view on what a review or an unboxing is. I've seen 'reviews' of high speed buggies where you hear nothing on the spec of the car, nothing as to how it handles and no close ups, and the car so far in the distance you can barely see it, now that's not what I'd call a review but youtube is littered with such RC reviews. I'm not a fan of the term unboxing as when I look to buy say a new microwave I don't type 'microwave unboxings', do you?

[@paulmccarter908]

@@DriftomaniacsRC Wow bro, chill. Without reading that short story, a review generally consists of actual experience with the product, and reporting those findings, good and/or bad. That's it. You've got good content here; the camera work really shows off how detailed the body is and a comprehensive breakdown of features..That's an unboxing.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

@@paulmccarter908 no worries! with all of the cars I buy or get loaned I now try and do a short test at the end of the video, with this one not being out for customer release yet, no test (but got one on order). Of note is that one major youtuber wrote to me about 3 years back saying that I'd got the jump on them each time on a 'review' and that they were starting to use the term unboxing. Back then people weren't using the term unboxing.The problem for me is that the majority of people (particularly anyone new to RC!) search for reviews and not unboxing's (If the TRX6 was new to you in a hobby store, and you were new to RC you'd not go home and search for TRX6 unboxings would you - see the problem?). I am glad you like the video content though as that's the main thing. I've just switched to the new gopro 7 which seems to give much better 4k than my gopro 5 4k did! Should be getting one of these in about 2 weeks when they come in but hearing rumors they could be a week away?

[@paulmccarter908]

@@DriftomaniacsRC I'm really not seeing a problem; as a rc guy with 16 years experience, when I see the word 'review', I have certain expectations, as well as if I were searching out an 'unboxing'. Since you've seemingly changed the meaning of review vs unboxing, I take your point as you've presented it.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

@@paulmccarter908 no worries Paul and I do take onboard a lot of feedback, so the time you've taken to post is much appreciated. Like the cars I look at down at JJ Customs I've started calling First Look, as they're neither a review nor an unboxing! Just editing one at the minute. Then off out to bash!

[@bigpoppapaulsradiocontroll2724]

That is a terrible cheap attempt by by traxxas just doesnt cut it after the titan motor issues I've had with my trx4 3 in a year had change to different brand not to mention still using they terrible 2065 and 2075 servos no thanks traxxas get rid off your sub par components and I'll start buying again but until then I wont be buying another traxxas I'll get the axial unimog

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

I understand you issue on the motor, but we're still on the original motor and we got one of the first ones in the USA, what keeps happening to them? I'd agree the servo is probably the first thing to upgrade though

[@bigpoppapaulsradiocontroll2724]

@@DriftomaniacsRCthe brushes seem to burn out on them very easily If you open a titan motor you will see how flimsy they are.currently running a yeah racing crawler motor in mine and its been great even whilst pulling trailers.traxxas just annoy me feels they take there customers for granted these day like even you say about the servos instead of having to upgrade stuff like that traxxas should have resolved this themselves.upgrades are fun but basic components should be reliable as standard

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

The servo situation needs sorting, I had a UDR and that fuse blowing thing? That just seemed a little crazy! Then the same thing in erevo 2.0, I've a castle crawler edition combo that I'll probably fit to the TRX6 as with the sensored setup the control level is awesome. I may look inside an older titan motor if I get a minute, indeed 'what's in a traxxas motor' would probably do well as people are intrigued. Anyhow I hope the yeah racing crawler setup is working better. I'm just thinking about getting their twin fan for the infration motor.
