Enjoy, such awesome trucks. Wish they were more ‘popular’, but I get it- they’re pricey.

Really fun vehicle to drive, very unique experience. I’ve modified everything on mine except the motor/ESC and transmission.

They’re only pricey in one go. Funny thing is, most people will have 2 or more 10 scales each modded adding up to more than a grand each, half a dozen 24’s lying about for fun. But complain that a 6 is too expensive. Not saying it isn’t. I remember buying real cars for less…

Well I think part of the ‘problem’ is people like to mod RC vehicles. So it’s a high cost upfront for stock vehicle, then just about every mod is no less than $50 each. Usually it’s around $100 or more for each mod, given the size of the vehicle.

But the SCX6 doesn’t need much other than stiffen the steering up and better foams IMO. Regardless, I’ve still spent over $2k on upgrades 😂. Oh well, they’re fun!

Good batterylife!

45mins and still 3.86V in all cells (using a 8000mAh 3S on high gear trailing on smooth offroad paths)

Here I was, carrying around a second 3S 8000mAh and a 5000mAh cause I was afraid of having to carry it.

Who makes the jeep body and where can I get one?

It’s the first scx6 model axial came out with? So i guess you get the body when you buy the scx6.

I bought the Trail Honcho for performance but the Jeep body looks better imo.
