it is a great looking truck with allot of realistic details, if you pack full of grease the gearbox it will help with the noise and the shocks just buy good quality replacements 🙂🙂👍👍👍
Thanks! If I put too much grease in the gearbox it can gum up the gearshift, though, which is unfortunate. I think I've finally solved the shifting issue, though - I might have to do a little vid on that! 👍
Hey Steve, nice one dude! Really enjoyed hearing your views on the HC6, the 17 minutes flew by - so must be good! I really like the humour you inject into the mix, it's pretty infectious. Air shocks? That's a new one on me. Whatever you do, don't do anything as cheesey as cutting to the body being on. The weathering turned out great, I need you to do my Range Rover - looking forward to getting some of that special scum all over the shell. Take it easy, mate. :))
I wanted to say I really enjoy your content and it inspired me to grab one of these😎! How did you go about painting the chassis, axles and suspension? Did you paint all the pieces individually before assembling or did you have it assembled then painted? Did you have to use different paints for the metal and plastic parts? Thanks!
Well thanks very much! You've totally made up for the mean comment somebody left yesterday. 😎👍 I built this chassis up and sprayed it all together - just masked off the bearings and shock shafts - using a regular can of primer suitable for plastic and metal. Then I sprayed the colour (again just a regular spray can). It's all stuck really well except for on the bumper, though maybe I didn't prepare that properly. Oh, and I hung it up to spray it, first from the front and then the rear. Being able to spin it around and get it from all 'up and down' angles really helps cover all those awkward little spots. Hope that helps, and enjoy the HC6! They're really fun trucks.
Nice one sir! The same Cross issues we would testify, and really why they haven't issued a single speed conversion option to remove 90% of the slop I don't know. As you say, two speeds (a bit fast and way too fast) are redundant mostly. Except for childish 8x8 wheelspinning on gravel (cough) Extra weathering is a success to my eyes, so job well done. And those tyres are THE tyres for trucks I reckon. But copying is beneath me. And too expensive. sigh. A
Well, you say copying is beneath you, but we've established that you've got the same truck as me (CA30), and if that's not copying then what is? Sure, you blustered something about having bought yours months before I got mine, but frankly nobody's buying such a technical defense when you can't even prove time exists.
Thanks! The original tyres look fantastic, but they're very hard and don't grip very well on rocks or in the wet, so I swapped to the Gmades. I'm in Wales in the UK - it's a beautiful place!
This truck is awesome and after seeing a few of your videos of it, I decided to get one. I may be stealing the axles for my tf2 until I have the space to build it. How were the inner foams for you? Mine are deformed and very soft, is this normal??
The foams on the HC6, you mean? I don't honestly remember because the tyres are so stiff the foams barely do anything anyway! I switched to Gmade tyres instead, though I had to fit narrower rings just to get them mounted.
@@rccrawlersmid-wales645 been awhile since it had that new smell lol I'll remember the narrow the rings after it's built and driven stock for a bit, thanks!
I think it is, and it looks the same as the ones in the MCs as well - though I'm starting to realise there are two slightly different versions and some are quieter. My one is proper deafening... meanwhile, I have a mate with an MC6 that's practically silent. 🤷♂️
Actually, I tried LOADS of marine grease, but it there's so much room in that box it just made a massive horrible mess with the water and silt that inevitably made its way in. It didn't make it any quieter either, so I cleaned it all out and went thinner. I've done everything I can to try sealing the gearbox better, too, but it's free to get in through the motor. Can't remember if I did it before or after this vid, but eventually I swapped some of the gears to the plastic versions and that really helped quieten it down. Haven't had any issues with the strength of them yet, either. 👍
😂 One of my favourite RC reviews I have ever watched.. thank you for making my day. Subscribed 👌🏾
Ha ha, cheers! Glad you enjoyed it. 😎👍

Ah ha ha, there's plenty of scum to go round! You can see the tideline of it quite well in the thumbnail picture... 😬
Useful & informative video. Good humerus sections. I will be out looking for some of that scale scum now!
Ha ha yes, maybe I should bottle it and sell my own range of Professional Pond Scum?! 🤔🤪
One massive truck! Factual and upbeat owners review,
like your sound man, good fun, thank you RC CM-W 😁
Thanks! And yeah, it's definitely a big ol' bus... 🤣
Thank you for this, Ive been really interested in hearing pros and cons and weaknesses
Cheers, hope it was useful! 😎👍
Loooove the weathering!!

@@rccrawlersmid-wales645 Excellent! I appreciate the advice😎
You are a laugh mate.... truck looks really good. Windscreen looks legit.
Excellent information.
Cheers👍

Awesome video👌 I subscribed
Cool, thank you very much! 👍
Hey. I was looking at your transfer box and it looks like the one I've got, they are 50 quid on eBay.
Thanks for the info! 😎👍
Cracking rig mate. Isn’t that the same gearbox as the Bc8? Noisy brutes )
I think it is, and it looks the same as the ones in the MCs as well - though I'm starting to realise there are two slightly different versions and some are quieter. My one is proper deafening... meanwhile, I have a mate with an MC6 that's practically silent. 🤷♂️
@@rccrawlersmid-wales645 I filled mine with grease and it helped a bit, also was difficult to get the gear shift to work properly too
grease man lol. that gear box looks awfully dry in there... some good grease might solve the noise issues...

كيف يمكنني الحصول على الشاحنة
Try crossrc.us, or if they won't ship direct to your country hopefully there's an importer (if you're in the UK it's Greens Models). 😎👍
أين أجد مثل هذه الشاحنات
This is from Cross RC, an American company - you can buy from their website. I'm in the UK and got mine from the importer Greens Models.
