I got the Trx6 Monday. It’s awesome. After watching both of your 6x6 videos I decided to get both. Two is always better than one.
I just added this truck to my collection. I have a trx4, Everest10, scx10ii and now this 6x6. By far the 6x6 is the best in the fleet!
The time you put into preparing this review really shows. Extremely thorough, fast-paced, not repetitive. A lesson for everyone.
Oh, about the clicking -- could be the ring and pinion disengaging under heavy load, inside one of the pumpkins. That's what happened to me with my RBK. Went away when I retired the sintered OEM gears in favour of hardened steel from SSD.
NaturallyRC Thanks. Could be, I probably should have mentioned that as a possibility too.
Excellent review Greg👍👍 Thorough as usual. Running video was stellar.
Thanks! It was a fun spot to explore with the truck.
I love the umg body over the traxxas Mercedes body any day
I would like to see a half track conversation . I think that would be really cool
Danual Stempfley That would be awesome
Plus the WWII military body to go with the half-tracks
I've heard those conversations are, well....... hard to keep-on-track ;)
I would love a video on battery storage and anything else to do with winter storage for Rc. This is my first year with RC’s and want to make sure they are still in great shape after winter. Thank you in advance
For batteries, if they are NiMH, charge them before storing them, and if they are lipos, make sure to storage charge them(storage is around 50% charge) store all your batteries where it's not too cold either
This might help, but its vague

The two rear axles will want to push the front end straight no matter how much servo you have. I can tell you from experience locking up both rear axles on a ten wheeler or an eighteen wheeler the drive axles pretty much push you straight unless you have a lot of weight on the steering axle. That is the only real advantage the Traxxas has, even factoring in you will have to replace those servos after an outing or two. A heavier front bumper would help it a little, but anytime you have more traction or weight on the rear it will want to just go straight.
I really feel at this point, I would build my own 6x6 as the bodies of the Axial and Traxxas are just not my thing. One of the Cross RC military style 6x6 would be cool.
Had my new UMG6X6 out for about a 5 hour run yesterday. This truck works great on the trails. Despite it's length, and slight tendency to push in the front end on tight turns, it is extremely agile and has climbed things I've been trying to climb for years. Zero issues with it, and again, it is a great platform for future projects... But I WILL be swapping in a 45t motor for the extra torque. The two channel radio that comes with it is "adequate" but doesn't allow for much "tuning". I've paired it with my Spektrum DX5 Rugged, and the truck is now dialed in and running like a dream. I will be enjoying this truck for years to come...
💀🤘Thanks for explaining everything about this new RC 6X6 ✌️😎✌️
I love your reviews, I always have even when you were in old school print. I do however miss the race coverage. You should do some of that.
Thanks! I do miss covering races.
Wow I love this UMG 6x6. Another awesome review Greg! 🍻🍻🍻
Just got one for my Bday. Can't wait to scratch it up. But first! He he he he he he
I've been looking at these for a while now
Seeing this made up my mind
Definitely getting one for another camera rig
😎😎😎😎😎
Great review and by the looks of it looks like a crazy capable rig. 👍👍
Thanks! Yup, it's an Axial, they're certainly capable.
Cool truck but it must really eat at the Axial fanboys that the 1:1 UMG comes stock with portal axles. 😂
I guess that's why the Unimog has them. 😏
It came out on Wednesday it was at my house on Friday. It is a excellent crawler even with 6 wheels. Keep up the good work.
kenneth welty Nice! Yup, it’s a blast to drive!
How did he hold up many breakages as reported
Thanks
Love mine. Have a scx10lll also. Not sure witch I like more. Get one or the 4x4 version. I’m going to add some brass weight to mine
Im late to this party but love this rig . However it's discontinued so will that make parts hard to get?
It looks good, great review of this new rig
STEVO D 313 Thanks!! It’s extra fun lol
I am a disabled veteran, like the military truck ,been looking for one, hard to find,
Is it possible to put a crane on the back? Even a HIAB type behind the cab would be cool, especially for recovering others when they're stuck!
Great video dude. I have to be honest and say that I feel that this truck looks more like a toy when taking scale realism into consideration. I think with more weight it would handle much better. Nice review, enjoyed it 🤟🏻✌🏻
The grill is what turns it toy for me. The rest is works pretty well. Yes, some weight would be good. Thanks!!
Im still mad i sold mine with 1 run on it. Then right after it was gone and you couldn't find them anymore.
I don’t know why, I want to like these 6x6’s but they just don’t appeal to me. I currently own an ax10, a Yeti and 2 SCX10s. Maybe if this had a WW2 transporter body
That would be a cool body option.
I have a yeti, slash, 2x 10iis and I diddnt think I really wanted a 6x6 but I picked one up for a winter project anyways hahaha and I love it. Just nice to drive somthing different and still get out with your trailing buddys. I upgraded the servo,esc,motor and a set of hyrax and it's a blast.
Lhs by me has them for 299 hmmm sooo tempting Greg lol
So far clicks still there,took transmission apart for the fourth time,also took both axles apart,begging to wonder if the clicking maybe coming from the front drive shaft,because of the angle.
Its a great looking machine
I see the Capra in the background!!!
Trax RC Shhh don’t tell anyone! 🤣
Definetly a step in the right direction. Almost looks toy grade compared to the traxxas though. had a good look at them both at the hobby shop i work at
The shop has them for 299 its a no brainer for a toy lol
Do you still have the axail unimog 6x6
Good luck finding the occasional click,my umimog also clicks on occasion,I have taken the transmission apart 3 times and can't find anything to cause it.
It's really weird and random. I've had runs with zero clicks. I've tried jamming the throttle in forward and reverse rapidly on 3S and no clicks. One run I heard clicks going over a realitively flat surface. One run I heard a few climbing. Just odd...
Why do they not put the reciver wite in the snorkel so you dont lose conection from the rabii
I would like to see a 6x6 Kit.
RC's RC Cars That would be cool.
I love mine
Hi. Like axial products and want to know if you can add a sound system to the truck. Can you use the one fro traxxas?
The Frame look´s like the Amewi. 6x6
Great video you should get a traxxas maxx
Definitely needs the Mercedes logo in the gril
Yup, time to work on the details.
Hey Greg great review as always 👍🏼 just got myself a VBC racing Firebolt RM kit and its pretty awesome! Have you ever tried some VBC racing kits before? Would love to see your take on em ✌🏼😎👍🏼
Thanks. VBC, sounds familiar. I think I did drive one years ago. Ugh, my memory is going.
Are the frame extensions removable? If I wanted to put a 4 wheel body on it. It looks like they are
I,why you don't make an engine swap to a nitro motor then you could make snorkel operational
What brushless system would you recamend for it
Save your money for the trx6!
Just paying for the Mercedes name.
It’s actually a pretty good deal for the trx 6 because it is only about $100 more expensive but has portal axles and way more realistic and has many features as well
Have been looking t the unimog 6 wheel drive ever since it first came out,still can't decide if I really want one or not. Have the unimog scx10-2 ,and a couple of other scx10-2s,also have a couple or traxxas trx4s.just not sure of the 6x6
It's something different. A different type of driving experience.
Iwant to change my esc but want to keep my lighting any ideas
Great video! I will have a 6x6 in my collection. Do you think the Traxxas trx6 is worth the extra cash or would you go with the Axial ? Thanks for all your videos
Thanks. I do like them both and the TRX6 is worth what they're asking. But I don't like making decisions for others, didn't even do it when I worked in a hobby shop. Luckily I have reviews on both. Check them out and see which has the most features YOU like.
So about that rear steer,?
would you consider on doing a head to head? UMG10 6x6 vs benz amg g63 6x6
dhfan1977 Possibly, but not anytime soon. I have so many new products to do, I’m going to be busy with making videos on that stuff for at least the next two months.
I burnt up that stock 35t 1st time out driving it. Bad motor choice for 6x6
Axial 6x6 or traxxas 6x6 ?
I noticed that you did not push it that hard at all
Looks cool, but do you think it'll give Traxxas competition?
Common Rc Traxxas has some advantages on the trail. But Axial has a great price point.
Trx6 is a bit pricey but in my case I'll pay the extra money!
BTW awesome review video.
👍👍👍💖💖
Like the looks better than the Traxxas
Tim Williams I like both... but the Axial grille/headlights needs some love IMO.
@@rcdriver There's bound to be an aftermarket grille and bumper that fits.
Hi can you do a bashing at a scateparck
Richard Uleschkowitz I only have one nearby skatepark and it’s kind of small. There is some footage in our Arrma Notorious video.
Thenk you
Much better than the overpriced Traxxas Mercedes 6x6, which means you're paying more for the name. This also has a better, lower CoG.
My CR12 F150 is better
Michael Root Alllllrighty then.
Do you have a UMG6x6 of your own? You can make the statement that yours is better, which I strongly doubt, but can you back it up with the experience of having driven one? Again, I doubt it. I have the new UMG6x6, and have had it out for about a 4 hour trail run. It climbs very well, and with the SCX10 II AR44 axles great steering, it is also quite nimble. It works very well as a trail rig. Probably better than yours does. It is also a great base for future projects....
@@roadhazard6620 it's ugly
Michael Root That is what you base your statement on...? Really? That is all you have...? "It' ugly..." ? You are a deep well of wisdom, friend. I have one, I have run it on the trail, as well as having run many other scale trail rigs, and this is a different animal than the 4x4's. It handles very well, is very nimble, and Axial has had a hand in the scale truck scene for a fairly long time. The Axial UMG trucks are based on the UniMog, which was not built to be pretty like your wee weekend warrior Ford, but as a working truck. At least drive one before making slagging it, that will give a bit of credibility to your words. Not trying to be nasty, just saying that to comment on the truck with no idea of how it runs is... childish.
@@roadhazard6620 how's it do in mud and wet grass
