Traxxas TRX-6 6x6 VS Axial SCX-10 II UMG 6x6

Everyone wants to see these two beasts side by side, so we thought we'd film some of the testing while working on the reviews. The Traxxas TRX-6 6x6 came out of no where, and has some big shoes to fill behind the TRX-4 success. The Axial Racing SCX-10 II UMG 6x6 has been exactly what Axial fans have been begging for. We started off trail driving and following each vehicle around to see how they would handle the course, but in true Big Squid RC fashion, it soon turned into a bash fest and demo derby! Except for some scratches, both vehicles have survived to drive another day.
We don't make any decisions on the winner yet, but the reviews are coming ASAP!
Who do you think is the winner so far? What one are you voting for to win? Let us know below!
Special thanks to www.axialracing.com/ and traxxas.com/ for their support to make this happen!
Thanks for watching.

Can't imagine smashing $1000+ of crawlers into each other, damn.

[@3d_printed_rc_builders]

Both look very capable. Planning on getting the UMG10 for an Axialfest build at some point

[@michaelregan427]

First half of the video was cool, a bit stupid smashing into each other repeatedly on purpose at the end.

[@RcScaleTales]

Great video until demolition derby

[@JuiceboxHobbies]

Mark Fisken look at it like a head to head battle between two of the biggest Rc companies.

[@RCAdventurers]

Not liking the crashing bit, whats the point ??

[@AmrothPalantir]

@@JuiceboxHobbies accidents happen... why not see some irl testing...? to see if it survive.

[@sgtlt]

was a great video until that stupid stuff at the end

[@jimrodmrt1]

I was thinking the same thing...

[@rodcognito002]

Dont think anyone would be disappointed with either.

[@UAERCADDICTS]

the black is better

[@307_Scoot]

Watching the rear axles on those rocks looks like the axial has more flex...

[@johnbasterson7938]

More flex isn't necessarily good. The trx6 has a higher cog. More flex would equal tip overs. Portals have their disadvantages.

[@joshuaslingerland2586]

@@johnbasterson7938 portals don’t change the amount of flex

[@triplexrcgarage1499]

Thanks for the video. Awesome run. I just Subscribed.

[@voorheeslaz70voorhees12]

Haha nice lil scrap guys👏🏻👌🏻from Denver Colorado

[@newtonfoster7581]

I agree with the 2nd comment, Unimog has more flex it appears and the body has better clearance but the Traxxas seems to perform better, and being a previous owner of a TRX4 BRONCO that I invested a lot of time and money into making it the way I wanted and holding an RTR red Axial Jeep Rubicon in my hands and comparing the 2, Traxxas has a much much better foundation from which they even start theirs and I just like them better. Every screw is at least M3, links are M4 or M5 threads, Axial's are puny but I plan on getting the TRX6 in the future especially if they offer it in a kit and I can hopefully find another body even though I do like the Mercedes

[@JoeOvercoat]

Thank you so much for this video. However I suggest the music is a mistake for this kind of video where the sound of the vehicle could have been informative.

[@ChrisGorman87]

I think the trx_6 won with no doubt. Damn I need one ASAP!

[@FarrellMcGovern]

The G-Wagon (Traxxas TRX-6) and the Unimog (SCX-10 II UMG) are *not* on the same scale here...the Unimog would be a lot bigger if they were to scale. That said, I think that the Unimog would benefit greatly from some better, and maybe larger tires. I do think that it is interesting that both are based upon Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

[@alterbayer7196]

no....... the Benz-Tires are way better than the Mog-Tires

[@macmccartney5760]

Why wernt the diffs locked on the traxxas... It was very obvious when some of the wheels werent spinning in unison with the rest

[@JuiceboxHobbies]

Mac Mccartney only in the first scene the rest it was locked

[@jimrodmrt1]

Looks like it was a attempt to make the Trx6 look bad In the beginning

[@JuiceboxHobbies]

Jimrod Martin no just driver error

[@michaeljimenez9345]

Turning radius maybe?

[@kravenkrawlhobby5438]

Can the axial even stay on its wheels and tires man. It likes laying around it seems

[@jasoncowley8379]

The same course run by each driver with each vehicle and comments would have been better than the demo derby, but it was kinda funny 😆

[@jasonsmithsrrcfun9259]

I love your videos but it totally brings me to tears when I see something happen to something that I would give my left leg or eye so that a family members could have something os such good quality

[@JuiceboxHobbies]

Jason Smith sr both rigs didn’t break. It was more of a durable test / battle between two titans in the Rc world

[@corbinboczar5329]

I know this has nothing to do with this video but does anyone know how to stiffen up an axial scxii frame? My truck is mostly stock but when I'm at full flex my bumbers and body don't line up anymore and it's really irritating and can't find any help. Not sure it's mostly the frame flexing or if its the plastic middle supports that are flexing so if anyone knows anything let me know please!

[@birdsgarage1659]

Corbin Boczar upgrade the plastic braces on the frame with aluminum ones . should help

[@corbinboczar5329]

[@dezfan]

Take the Axial body and put it on the TRX6. Then I would be interested.

[@MultiSkyman1]

was thinking the same!

[@jimmccabe801]

What was the point of the demo derby at the end ?

[@JuiceboxHobbies]

Jim McCabe Durability test

[@dwaynekaye2000]

I think the Axial looks🔥 as detailed as the traxxas is the lines of the body just make it look cheap to me..performance wise they seemed pretty equal and have pro's and con's in different terrains. Hard to choose an outright winner for me lol. Traxxas probs should have went umimog style also but 2 door version maybe🤷‍♂️. Still pretty awesome rigs.👍👍👍.

[@GForceSS]

Giving your insights on each vehicle would have been helpful decision making info on these two very expensive rigs

[@JuiceboxHobbies]

Milton Poulos that vid will be soon

[@vbspeed7571]

Thats one ride I need a 6x6 on my videos

[@johnbasterson7938]

Nice! A literal versus! Demolition derby!

[@luisLP5752]

Man! Traxxas dominated the whole video. Put some weight at the front and it would be almost unstoppable climbing. Traveling on an angle sideways it’s ok but perhaps if I add weight as well then it might perform betta.

[@robbietanker8671]

Put the Reely Freemen 2.0 6x6 Into the Test,hast not the Features of this Two but is crawling Like this High End Crawler.

[@a_puppy_s_happy_life]

Wow, that's a great video. I'm doing a video shoot too. Why don't we share information with each other?

[@stevesrandomadventures9066]

That TRX 6 is making it look easy. seems like the unimog is struggling on a few of those obstacles

[@toddbertram6556]

Both great rigs, but the G body drives me nuts. I have never even heard of a G body on trail or anywhere near the rocks in 1:1. Axial made a much better decision body wise. I know the trx has a ton more options(to break) I like my crawlers simple and reliable.

[@ka4172]

And now bring both to there crawling limits!

[@rcsteveb]

Great video....... Until the end rubbish 😔

[@rcjoe406]

That battle at the end Epic

[@Smodlee]

Traxxas all the way because the diff in the axial strip right out of the box

[@Beowolfenstein]

We should start with the price.

[@Abdulrahman-mh5ep]

I genuinely thought those were real trucks

[@BlueDually4x4]

As I was scrolling the comments, one of the suggested videos was 7 of the worst TRX4 problems and how to fix them. Once the demo derby started I quit watching.

[@gpaje]

Still bashers at hear right, lol. Seems like both are strong, but that TRX is quite the bully between the two.

[@EugeneRCDrezgalovo48rus]

Классное видео,у меня тоже есть Трофи трасса,подробности у меня на канале!)

[@sirpoor3298]

Is that all you got out of this video 😢🤦‍♂️

[@kobebryant5135]

axial is out dated... no open/lock diffs, no high/low gears... nothing fancy

[@wildmangeorgesrcchannel6916]

The traxxas broke

[@JuiceboxHobbies]

Wildman georges rc channel George nope still driving today

[@broctms2]

The only advantage the TRX has is Fatter tires which give it more surface area to grip. Meh :D

[@The_RC_Guru]

Petko Grudlev and ground clearance, locking diffs, and two speed transmission. The axial model they tried to depict has portals in real life but released without them. Id rather traxxas had used axials body or axial had used portals like they should’ve. Same complaint as everyone else.

[@933pilgrim]

TRAXXAS FOR SURE!!! MUCH MORE SCALE AND MORE FEATURES... OVERPRICED BUT YOU KNOW FOR WHAT YOU PAID!!!

[@evanstrain5808]

I just dont think the portals are necessary. Too many extra moving parts to break...all over a 1/2 inch difference? And imo, that g wagon is so ugly, it would look better with no body at all.

[@ralfschmidt6551]

Destroy your 6x6. 😞

[@alterbayer7196]

typical Mercedes.............everytime violently on the 1st plce You are in the real life also a Benz-driver ???????????

[@SteadfastRC]

Stopped watching at the demo derby, most people have to save to buy this kind of rig and you guys think its cool to just smash them together? No thanks.
