Yonzariq 114 Posted January 7, 2021 Have had this one for some time now and it spent about a year on the shelf, started working on it again recently. Chassis: CrossRC HC6 Motor: CrossRC 45t ESC: Hobbywing QuicRun 1080 Steering servo: PowerHD 20KG Shift servo: Axial 8kg servo (came as steering servo in my RR10 Bomber) Pretty big box! Gearbox and axles are all full metal and pretty heavy! Front axle: Rear axles: 2-speed gearbox: Attached everything to the chassis: Started on the electronics: And finished the electronics, it has switchable headlights and working brake lights: Finished the body: And at this point it was placed on the shelf and sat there for almost a year as I had other priorities... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yonzariq 114 Posted January 7, 2021 Started on it again last month. Finished the interior: Installing the ESS One+ sound module: Replacing the receiver and connecting the sound module: Painted the grill black, I didn't like it all red: And this is how it is standing now. Waiting for a receiver and some servo extension wires. Also thinking of something to place over the sound module. Wanting some new tires, probably the ProLine Grunt, the stock tires are very stiff. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakratfink 967 Posted January 7, 2021 I recently discovered CrossRC recently and their stuff looks pretty impressive. I discovered they are out of the town in Wisconsin I used to live in, also. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
87lc2 2665 Posted January 8, 2021 Very nice, love the color you went with. Wheels look great in white as well. I have a couple Cross trucks, but my father is a Cross nut. He has the HC6, MC8, PG4A, Demon, and recently built the Mammoth BC8. That thing is a beast. Not shelf queens either, takes them on the trail quite often and submerges them in creeks, mud, etc. I think he's nuts but he doesn't care, just wants to have a good time. Agreed on the stock tires, not the greatest compound but they do surprisingly well on the trail. I'd say the HC6 can tackle just a bit more terrain than a 1:1 version could, very scale. Obviously it would do well with some super sticky crawler tires, but they are quite realistic as far as looks & performance when speaking in scale terms. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yonzariq 114 Posted January 11, 2021 The wheels came white stock, and really liked the look so left them white hah, for the car itself I wanted something other than box art, about 90% of them are already built box art. I reallyreallyreally wanted the Mammoth BC8, but just couldn't justify the cost for one of those This one will be no shelf queen also, but I won't drive it crazy hard either, that's what I have my TRX4 for. It will be used for trailing and forest mainly, not the mud, wet, and extremely steep hills I drive my TRX4 on. Stock tires aren't bad, but had some issues on the surfaces I tested it on so far, so I want to try some different tires to see how it handles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yonzariq 114 Posted April 28, 2021 Took the HC6 out together with my TRX4 last week. Such a great and capable truck, got almost everywhere my TRX4 got. Only had some issues of getting grip on steep hills, but on the mainly dry and hard sand surface it did surprisingly well. https://youtu.be/5IMJXIs5YDk 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
