The plastic in this truck, doesnt really break (which is good) but it has a TON of flex! The stock servo is not all that bad, but the panhard mount and the mounts on the axle, including the servo mount... move around like crazy! My first upgrade was a better servo (I went with direct power) and a "metal" front axle, and alloy shock mounts just to tighten things up. Threw some overdrive gears from Treal and I was pretty set
My first upgrades were a Treal bumper mount so I could mount a servo winch, Treal shock mounts for a stronger panhard mount and CC BEC Pro. I made a custom wiring harness for the batteries so I can have two batteries plugged into the harness and a pair of plugs I can access under the truck to plug in a jumper to connect the batteries to the ESC. No need to pull the body off to swap/ unplug the batteries. Next up is a stronger servo and a trailer hitch receiver for a custom trailer to pull my UDR.
I’ve done hyrax on aluminum wheels with anti foams, mounted a pro line ram xmaxx body, took out the inner fenders, cut down the stock sliders, bumpers, and mounts to tuck them in. Made it a complete different animal. Fits in so many more places and difficult lines now.
For my 6 (which has only had 2 short runs on it so far)... I've picked up Wheels, antifoams, Swampers, new servo, OD gears, Hi Clearance links. I think that is it so far. On the "thought" table is a set of wheel flare deletes and new sliders. I'm sure there is more to come as I figure things out.
I cut off the top but added magnets to allow it to be added back on when I want. I also swapped in metal sliders that are tucked to the body for better clearance. I've also added metal 5 Club bumpers, Hirax, and dual motor winch. Currently waiting on my tsl's and dual stage foams. I fear that the weight would cause excessive wear with overdrive gears.
As far as performance upgrades go I've added Treal overdrive gears to the front axle, a 1/5 scale 60kg servo with and external BEC set to 8.35V, a Flysky GT5 transmitter to properly set servo endpoints, and some steering braces similar to what Exocaged RC made. I also taped off the vent holes on the stock wheels and it makes the stock foams much more tolerable. Dual stage foams or 3BRC Antifoams will be my next upgrade.
@westdesertwheeler great videos on the scx6, love it so much I got a lightly used one today. I definitely plan on getting these tires soon along with either steady foams or 3 brothers anti foams. I put a castle bec on it today for the steering servo at 7.4v, big difference, Holmes rx bypass harness for bec. Esc doesn't dip in power now, no brown out. Aluminum shock towers soon hopefully and maybe a stronger servo.
Good job on that mousetrap entrance Logan ! What a beast of a truck . I'd be super interested to see a scx6 with 4ws but it's probably more of a novelty than anything else on a truck like that.
i went with treal axle housing, wheels, shock towers and chassis braces along with vitavon OD and heavy duty standard gear for rear diff, spektrum s9120bl servo direct power with castle bec and i chopped the roof off the body. also have proline dual stage foams and 3bros rc anti foams so i'll be able to run the stock tires with anti foams and the tsl super swamper with the dual stage foams. the scx6 is such a bad ass rig and this video proves it. i also put high clearance links and the fender eliminator from club 5 and rock sliders from vitavon and swapped the bearing kit to sealed bearings. Great Job Logan!
If you review your own video, you will remind yourself how much you like these tires in every class that was talked about. After trying multiple tire types myself, I use the TSL Super Swamper in most cases. The side lugs are a tough one to beat, but little talked about center tread, has that all time ground contact that makes me a believer. Great job! Very entertaining!
Like your Trais.. I have them on my 6 Was thinking of siping the mid blocks a bit did that on my 10 scale swampers and made a huge difference on slippery or hard rocks( bit like snow tires work) not siping all tbe way to the tire bed...just like 1 or 2mm deep sips so the blocks stay strong but the sipes just help gripping better... Than you get the perfect combo( Swampex) Swamper meeting Hirax)
Just finished installing castle mamba x esc with 3 Brothers new black jacket 1280kv motor! But at the moment I am finishing the install of a 1/5 scale axle mounted servo! With brass hub cabs and brass steering link bar
Loved everything about this video, the truck, the terrain, the driving, and Sidney. I want to get a Honcho SCX-6 but there's nowhere to drive it around here that would take advantage of it's size.
Nice man. One question. I know the 1.9 version had a bead that didn't fit on all rims. Do these have like a standard bead to fit Aloy rims wich are availeble for the six.
I highly suggest the Spectrum DX5C radio. That radio will give you more data and the ability w/ an electronic switch to remotely turn on/off the lights. Oh yeah, the Spektrum lipos are juuuuuuunk, I've had 6 go bad with a dead cell in less then a years time.
Love your vid's bro, you know your stuff and enjoy the hobby with passion, I can tell. Thanks so much I'm going to buy one for sure. Perth Western Australia
Nice Logan! They look the part, and apparently work! I was skeptical, as typically the full size counterpart are more a mud tie, but.. they proved me wrong. Nice review!
Man that is some excellent wheeling. I know you may like the foams, but the foams are too "inflated" for my taste. I like my rig to look like I've actually aired down like it does on my Jeep. Those tires do look really good on that truck though. A lot more realistic then I thought they would. I see a lot of rigs at Windrock with swampers on them.
I just put the Injora 6 piece aluminum beadlock wheels and their two stage foams...looks great but haven't had the chance to run on the rocks yet. Does better on the trails though. Helps keep the front end down better.
Does this scx6 have upgraded chassis like a g speed? .. I guess it’s best how it is right now to try out new options coming out like these tires..look awesome btw
Hey love the vids awesome terrain I’m new to your channel, I have a few rc but would like I break into the crawler package what would be a good stock rc to break in with?
What battery do you run in your SCX6 and what kind of runtimes do you get? Thinking about getting one but wanna spend some time out crawling. I don’t like going to spots for 30 minutes of runtime.
@@westdesertwheeler fall short of other tire brands. Jconcepts, rc4wd, even gmade tires generally perform better. And usually not just by a little bit. Like in the last run there won't even be a proline tire because they sucked so bad. I love proline tires. I have 50 sets of them but dang lol.
The more I watch your videos the more I want one of these scx6’s I wasn’t a fan at first but you sure have made me one!

I've run super swampers on my Capra and I love em, like them more than hyrax. Great video, thanks for sharing. John. Oh love the setting. Awesome.

An oddball mod was I ordered the softer springs from axial to lower the truck and help cog
Fricken love it!! I’ve been rc crawling for many years and this SCX6 is on the bucket list😊
The scx6 is one bad ass jeep to crawl with 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

I've been waiting for these to be released... I've had the TSL SX's on my full size truck for 20 years and they are my all time favorite trail tire

I really believe in vented tires. I tried to get Treal but they’re backordered at the moment
Great driving. I can’t wait to where this rig goes each video. I just ordered these tires.
Thank you sir! Yeah you’re gonna like these. Especially in loose terrain
The proline tsl in g8 is my go to all around tire in 1/10 I'm sure they will do great for the scx6
Do you like swampers or hyrax? Watched both videos. Struggling to choose

Great Video, helping me make up my mind if i want an SCX6
Dude! That mouse trap entrance was dope! Great job!!!
Should i use the original inserts, or the one that comes with the swampers? Don`t want buy new one
Good job on that mousetrap entrance Logan ! What a beast of a truck . I'd be super interested to see a scx6 with 4ws but it's probably more of a novelty than anything else on a truck like that.

You’ve got a real build going with that! Lots of goodies

hhelloo mannnn ! i'm not a crawler freak but , i can't miss your vdo's about it :)
I'm going to buy these tires just so I have to get an SCX6
Hahaha cart before the horse, I like it
Those swampers just look so freaking sick!!!!! Great vid Logan!!!👍👍👍
What do you think about grooving them similar to the SX 2s?
You can groove them. I don’t see how it would really help
I deleted the slipper clutch. A 8mm pinion will go right on the shaft. I ordered these tires. Can't wait to try em out.
hop they soon relase optional unlockable diffs (with radio lock/unlock) to be more scale ! :)
You should get an Scx24 I’d love to see you crawl one
Awesome video. Love those tires and foams!
Really enjoy your videos, watching has improved my driving loads, slow crawling, watching each tire and how the rig is reacting, cheers!
Just finished installing castle mamba x esc with 3 Brothers new black jacket 1280kv motor!
But at the moment I am finishing the install of a 1/5 scale axle mounted servo! With brass hub cabs and brass steering link bar
I put the 1.9 xl on my basecamp, super impressive tires. Ready to try them on my scx6 honcho after some time with it
Loved everything about this video, the truck, the terrain, the driving, and Sidney. I want to get a Honcho SCX-6 but there's nowhere to drive it around here that would take advantage of it's size.
Great SCX-6!!😊
Me changing tires to those! I may test the traxxas udr shocks.
Nice man.
One question.
I know the 1.9 version had a bead that didn't fit on all rims.
Do these have like a standard bead to fit Aloy rims wich are availeble for the six.
Wow. It looks great too! I Just got the hyrax’s. Gonna have to break them in before I jump on these.
I`m using the Anti foams, looks and feels like the real thing, less tire roll than the steady foams
I’m sure, but you pay for that performance
I rewatch these driving videos a lot. I think the pup need an official WDW recover harness.
I highly suggest the Spectrum DX5C radio. That radio will give you more data and the ability w/ an electronic switch to remotely turn on/off the lights. Oh yeah, the Spektrum lipos are juuuuuuunk, I've had 6 go bad with a dead cell in less then a years time.
What a great channel.
hi! nice videos! do you prefer Swampers or Hyrax on your SCX6?
Cool video as usual. Its still a mystery how good the stock foams or the dual stage foams work.
Stock foams are too soft
You have the best technical rock crawling videos of the scx6 👍
Thanks! It’s a very fun truck
Love your vid's bro, you know your stuff and enjoy the hobby with passion, I can tell. Thanks so much I'm going to buy one for sure. Perth Western Australia
Love your videos as usual. Noticed a strange looking rock in the background at 1:32 and 1:42 😂
Very nice video. I wish it was dry here as it is there. It's always wet here in Michigan. 👍
Outstanding video. Thanks for sharing.
That thing does way way better than you would think. What does one of those go for?
Retail is 1,100$ I believe
Nice Logan! They look the part, and apparently work! I was skeptical, as typically the full size counterpart are more a mud tie, but.. they proved me wrong. Nice review!
The TSLs are good for rocks. Boggers are definitely mud tires and are bad on rocks
Swamper not to be confused with the Bogger
Man that is some excellent wheeling. I know you may like the foams, but the foams are too "inflated" for my taste. I like my rig to look like I've actually aired down like it does on my Jeep. Those tires do look really good on that truck though. A lot more realistic then I thought they would. I see a lot of rigs at Windrock with swampers on them.
I want an SCX6 just so I can run those tires!
Nce driving! 🤘
I just put the Injora 6 piece aluminum beadlock wheels and their two stage foams...looks great but haven't had the chance to run on the rocks yet. Does better on the trails though. Helps keep the front end down better.
Cant wait to get mine
A lug pattern like that would be sick for 1.0 size tires
Put a proline xmaxx ford raptor body on it. They look sick on the scx6
I'm watching this video running my scx24 with super swampers on it lol
good vid as usual Logan
Does this scx6 have upgraded chassis like a g speed? .. I guess it’s best how it is right now to try out new options coming out like these tires..look awesome btw
Cool stuff! 😀
Awesome video
Thanks!
Quels sont les meilleurs pneus que tu as essayé pour le scx6
The SCX6 needs portal axles!
Do u enjoy the sixth scale more than the tenth scale ?
soooo what compound are they?
i saw and orange dot so i assume g8?
Get a fpv camera for the scx6 post content
Hey love the vids awesome terrain I’m new to your channel, I have a few rc but would like I break into the crawler package what would be a good stock rc to break in with?
Did you ever get yourself a crawler? If so, what did you go with?
NGL thought the thumbnail was pic of a real rig 🤘
What foams did you use with the swampers?
you should try and fit an FPV setup to your 6 and get some driving video
Definitely thought about it
@@westdesertwheeler I mounted a cam to the front of the trans just above the skid plate and I can see perfectly between the front links and axle
Where is this location at?
What battery do you run in your SCX6 and what kind of runtimes do you get? Thinking about getting one but wanna spend some time out crawling. I don’t like going to spots for 30 minutes of runtime.
I run spektrum smart G2 5000 Mah 3S packs. I have 2 in the truck. It will go for 4-5 hours with both packs
@@westdesertwheeler Wow! That’s impressive. Does the truck have IC5 connectors or IC3? Thanks.
Proline tires really break my heart. In almost every tire test they fall short.
Fall short of what?
@@westdesertwheeler fall short of other tire brands. Jconcepts, rc4wd, even gmade tires generally perform better. And usually not just by a little bit. Like in the last run there won't even be a proline tire because they sucked so bad. I love proline tires. I have 50 sets of them but dang lol.
New SCX6 Video Soon???
Should I get a fusion 2in1 or hobbywing axe for traxxas trx4
Both are great but I personally like a little more speed than the fusion offers.
Fusion is fantastic for slow crawling!
A hundred bucks for 4 tires..... I'll stick with 1/10th, LOL.
Seems like they're a bit too bouncy... could work better with some deflation.
Mud Tires in Desert???😏
That dog is not 6th scale lol
Wreck it full throttle into a rock
Proline really needs to change away from the G8 compound! Its very very very old technology considering where the hobby is at today.
I like po ta toes
