- As promised here is the review of my Cross Rc MC6 Truck.
I talk about the good, bad and the ugly! Plus what I have broken!
This is an awesome truck and if you are tempted by this truck I hope this video aids your decision.
Thank you for watching. - Розваги
Nice vídeo my friend.
Love the look of your rig!
Thanks friend! Terry is very proud of it - his first kit build, first paint job, first weathering etc. He did great.
Nice lorry off road!
Hello I've got a mc6c kit and I've watched all of your videos and I've enjoyed them all hopefully I'll finish mine real soon but its my first kit too and I'm going very slow to try and build it as carefull as i can thank you for your videos they have really helped and inspired me to be more confident in my purchase i was nervous like you because they do cost alot but they are sooo cool thanks again and keep the videos coming i might have a guestion or two in the furure so if you can answer some for me I'd forever be in your debt thanks again Al from the beach in south carolina
It was all good until the line about a beach hahaha 🏖️🏖️. Glad we can help Al, no prob. These kits are daunting yet very much worth it. Any questions please feel free. A
Thanks for responding yea its mrytle bch in sc love it here thanks again I'll probably have a guestion or two about the two speed trans hookup looks hard to figure out but im going to tackle that real soon thanks alot the rc community is usually very helpful take care and talk to you soon Al
It can be a bit fiddly. The key is to connect the servo with the servo horn off. Power it up so that the servo is centred.
With the gearbox rod arm fully in connect it to the servo horn. Then fit the servo horn to the servo.
Set up your radio switch to two position and minimal % travel. Then play with the travel. It takes time but worth getting it right.
If you get stuck let us know and I will do a video. Tel.
Great review! Really useful info.
Cheers! You'll notice it has been repainted and re-engined fairly recently?
AnT R/C I had seen the repaint, yes - didn’t know about the motor. Will check that out! Very tempted by a scale 6x6, but the prices are kind of scary...!
@@rccrawlersmid-wales645 yes they are, but you do get a kit for the money so if you gather the pennies you won't feel hard done to. Tel's put his Exrun AXE set up in this MC6 now and very good it is too.
AnT R/C Trouble is I particularly like the Man Kat 8x8 and the UC-6 Ural... it’s like I’m automatically drawn to the most expensive thing possible 😁
@@rccrawlersmid-wales645 you are amongst friends brother 🤟
I absolutely love your videos of these big trucks, and the amount of detail you put into them. I commented one of the BC8 videos before, I am still thinking about committing to one of them, too. I first fell in love with the BC8, but I also like what you did to the MC6 and MC8, especially since they have so much space to put stuff onto, compared to the BC8 that does not even have a bed stock. On the other hand, a BC8 with it’s trailer looks fantastic, although I suppose a trailer will probably get stuck on any bigger root or rock anyway.
In terms of climbing, and basically any off-road capability, is the BC8 the most capable?
Yeahman I remember you saying, but these are big commitments you can't and shouldn't rush into.
As to which is better? Well, so far on the terrain you have watched, the BC does it with less effort. It is shorter and has a totally smooth underside like a tank. No big gap between axles, and it is wider. So it is the better truck design off road. But. Is it £500 better? Not yet. The MC8 has done everything it has albeit being driven harder. And the MC has a far better front approach angle. And a bigger cab. And a bigger more useful bed with many configuration options.
So really, it is about what you want to do with each rig really. And how much £ you want to throw at it.
They are both amazing rc trucks but in slightly different ways. A

Use heat shrink for the grub screw from backing or losing it
Yeahman we did that subsequently. A
Hi,great review! Got a question for you - is it worth to get version a?its just half the price of version c
Thank you
If you don't intend running it outdoors, then I would think about it. But for outdoor use, climbing, carrying etc, B is minimum.
AnT R/C Thank you for quick reply! Version B is only 130£ cheaper than version c.This hobby is getting very expensive really quick 😱
That's funny the floor on mine was higher so why did they change it. Your are right with turning the steering up as on the Ural it did brake the dog end off on the axle. I do not know why they have not brought out a CVD kit as they have on the Gaz chassis. But you have to just love Cross :-)
It is odd that there is so much space in the engine bay unused, yet they cram everything into the skinny leccy box. But their engineering and design is pretty spot on, and last time I criticised Cross I looked pretty stoopid lol. A
@@antrc So you criticised Cross what wrong with that because of what you feel at the time. It's good to speak ones mind at times even if we get it wrong it does not hurt.
I really do wish they would do a cvd kit. Would really like better steering lock.
End points mate...end points
AnT R/C hi. In the year that has passed is cvd available for this yet. Or have you found a suitable substitute? I take it the axles on the mc8 are the same and have the same problem? I’m currently looking to get one. I too will be crawling it hard not just running a trail.
Also your 2.2 tyres are they cut and mounted on 1.9 rims or did you also change rims to 2.2? If so which ones as getting the right offset can be tricky.
Many thanks for any help you can give 👍🏻
Keep up the good videos 👍🏻
Great looking truck.
If you have FB you should check out Burdons custom RC builds.
Heaps of us over there have cross trucks and I'm sure they would love to see your rigs.
Johnny is a great guy and is very passionate about rc.
His YT channel is AussieRC were you'll see heaps of his crossrc trucks running
Anyway, love your content mate.
Ahh yes we know Johnny and agree with all the above. No doubt catch u on a live stream at some point.
@@antrc hope so mate.
@@hyster16t just time zones/work rah rah you know.
good video n information.Can u please share battery voltage mAh and servo model used.Thank you.
Hi Daya, Thank you. The battery I use is a 3s 11.1v Lipo 3300 mah Turnigy from HobbyKing. It fits in the battery box fine. I was using a HobbyWing 1080 ESC which handles a 3s 11.1V battery fine. I am now running an Xerun brushless set up and I still run it on the same lipo. Hope that helps.
@@antrc,Thank u. very informative above it will help me on my model.Just missing on servo model, can share servo model/type used?
Ah yes sorry. I use a power hd 25kg metal geared servo but that is excessive. I would reccomend using a metal geared servo 15kg and above. The mc6 has not got the best steering lock and it takes a bit of effort to move the steering.
@@antrc thank alot taking time shared technical information..thanks lot mate..keep in touch..
You are welcome. Will do 👍
Can the doors open?
Hi mate, yes indeed they can. Keeping them shut is more the challenge!!
Say, is this the red KTM truck that you just did today?
Yep, this is how Tel made it initially. I repainted it red for him last year. A
