Hobby Plus Arktos Flatbed 6x6 Upgrades

I love the silver paint with those wheels 😦

[@brianlynch4801]

For the winch, how about using a pulley on the recovery vehicle and then running the hook back to the bed. Like a block and tackle. In off-road recovery we use pulleys a lot. Although I don't know how much cable is on the spool

[@brianlynch4801]

Looks good in the silver.. I got mine in yellow but I might just paint it gray

[@ICanDoItMyself]

Agreed, looks better this way.

[@MysticRiverRC]

Looks fantastic! Great paint job, so clean.

[@DanPRC]

Thank you! Appreciate your comments as always.

[@andyrichey1192]

Looks fantastic. I’m waiting on the blue one, mainly because I wanted the black bed not the gray bed like the yellow one, love that silver looks great. Appreciate the video. I did just subscribe 8:36 AM Thursday, August 22 watching from Manchester, Michigan, I’ll be here watching for more.👍👍😎

What tires are those? Nice paint job!

[@stefan-norge]

Wish I had more time for this hobby and additionally your skills…

[@blake_0007]

What wheels are those? BTW the FCX 1/18 links fit.

[@DanPRC]

@@blake_0007 Meus wheels. And somebody in a FB group mentioned the fcx18 links but he didn’t do the rear links.

[@Campnowhere]

How hard was it to take apart to paint. What kind of prep did you have to do?

[@DanPRC]

@@Campnowhere Not hard at all for the cab. You just have to detach the cab from the grill which is about 4 to 6 screws. The grill is with the hing and stays attached to the chassis. I just did some light sanding to scuff it up, washed it, and used a plastic adhesive paint.

Reefs RC have servos for this winch

[@DanPRC]

@@basc5026 Reefs servo winch is the same size as the NSDRC. And the NSDRC Nano is too small. I have an idea for an adapter but I’ll see if I can pull it off.

[@basc5026]

@@DanPRC keen to see it

[@coreyfuchs730]

Are these available to purchase

[@DanPRC]

Not yet but some places are taking pre-orders.

[@trimshady5180]

Piece of crap! Under powered and needs a lot of upgrades to make it capable! Don't waste your money!

[@DanPRC]

@@trimshady5180 I’ll say about 80% of RTRs need upgrades to make them perform better out the box but I wouldn’t say it was crap. The stock links are definitely too soft and they said they’ve made a hard upgrade to fix that. Other than that I added some low end weight and it performed very well. I also changed to metal driveshafts as I do most of my rigs. Do you have a video of it doing so bad?

[@perryellisonjr9303]

Since it’s a piece of crap let’s see your video proof,pretty bold statement

[@brianlynch4801]

I think you get a lot for your money nothing is going to be perfect to your liking. I think for $200 it's a good start what do you suggest for the same money that's better
