- A review of the new, big Axial SCX6. The Holidays are coming. Is it worth the high price? I spent my week off driving in a bunch of different spots to try and find out.

Awesome video! I sold a few of my 1/10 to get a scx6 and don't regret it. Expensive but worth every $. Plan to sell my other 1/10 too to get another one 😀😀😀 Large scale is a complete other experience, so real.
Finally, a real review on the SCX6 instead of the infomercials from those that got freebies. Also just a great RC video.. Thank you!
Those types have gotten worse nowadays. It's even got people crossing over from "vlogging" calling themselves doing rc reviews but have the camera stuck in their fugly faces for 5, 10, 15 minutes until they show the rc, but only for a few minutes...... AND THEN immediately stick the camera back in their faces AGAIN!
I’m just gonna go buy one like I did the rest. That’s for a great review.
"It's like a small, very expensive boulder" lol 😆
One of the best RC review videos I have ever seen! I've had the '6 since 10-29 and I very much agree with your assessment. I'm very happy with the truck.
Wow thanks for that! Glad to hear you are enjoying yours!!
Great review! My crawling days are in the past but I keep my Losi Comp Crawler running in case I get an itch. That is the cool thing about RC. We all go through phases and you never know when something may come back in your life. I had the gasoline 1/5th HPI Baja buggy and that thing was a blast to build and drive.
it is usually just the issue with available space ^^, i have now a hobbyroom plus a storage/hobbyroom in the basement, but it is getting tight :D
definitely-too big a hobby to do everything. I've sort of laid off the quads for a bit. Crawling is always a chill pursuit which I like. Gas cars are awesome!!
@@speedbastard81 I've just left the truck in my wagon for the last few days lol. Haven't found a good space for it yet.
@@DiscoverRC so hm maybe i need more 1:1 cars to hide more rc stuff 🤔😅
@@speedbastard81 update this works well. the Jeep lives in the wagon.
Great video, and you are a big boy with a big truck dammit! I haven’t been doing any surface stuff since I sold my 8th Scale Mugen buggy and suddenly had time and money again. Despite the high price this seems like an excellent value. All the electronics are top notch, and that’s a hell of a transmitter for an RTR. Doesn’t seem like they cheaped out anywhere, really. And as a crawler, you won’t have to buy a new set of proline tires every 25 seconds, which really adds up.
They did pack a lot of good stuff into this truck :) Those tires will definitely last much longer than the rears on the Felony!
There's a trick if the battery goes out and you don't want to carry all the way back to your vehicle. Simply power it off and move the gear servo to the center between high and low. Once in neutral just loop some rope around the front bumper and you can roll it anywhere you want like a wagon. Probably easier if you hold the front wheels off the ground. Better than carrying it all the way to your car. 😉👍
Carry extra batteries is what I do
Ahhh thanks for the tip!
Great tip
Great review of the truck! I was just curious to what people though of them and I think your video was one of the most honest ones I have seen. Everyone else's was ok but they were just so hyped up about it being the newest and coolest thing and giving a review after one run was not what I was looking for. I appreciate you going out and getting used to it and some decent run time over various areas before giving your thoughts.
Thanks, appreciate that!
Yeah if you're crawling with it don't try to catch it with your ankle when it rolls it'll leave a nice gash. Lol. I did a fender delete and removed my mirrors.
The headlights work great at night! They shine forward like real headlights. Thought that was kind of amazing
Hey, nice video, so happy to see airplanes,cars, and drones
Thanks Mateo! We love all rc's!
If I pull the trigger on it, it will get a FPV airunit installed on board for a whole new experience. Would also replace the RX with ELRS. Great Vid
It's for sure am impressive monster. Actually my favorite truck in the real world. But not in my price range. Thanks for showcasing and never stopping the rc.
Thanks Ludwig - yeah it did put a large dent in the rc budget. Real ones are cool!
Great review. I have a 1/8 redcat shredder which ticks the boxes for speed etc but as a Wrangler driver I would love to get my hands on one of these to do some scale crawling. Ugh. Spending dilemma for sure.
I'm definitely considering getting One. Its basically the price of a drone and yes no shitty licenses to have fun and we still can mount several cameras!
fpv on this would be fun!
@@DiscoverRC totally
Good review and driving video. Took the plunged and now Vitavon runs my life :P
Thanks for that honest review - much appreciated! I look into installing FPV gear (DJI O3?) into it. Are the windows tinted by default? Is it a sticker foil that I could peel off maybe?
greets, Mario
An SCX10/TRX4 is $550, add a Brushless Motor ESC, 2 speed transmission, metal gears everywhere, you’re at $900.
That’s not too far from $1100.
That’s how I look at it.
Though I will say an SCX6 is best just plain stock, cause if you mod it out completely, that’s when you go broke.
🤔
I lost mine at the bottom of a river for about ten minutes. Sunk like the RMS Titanic. When I found it, it drove away unscathed. All I had to do was dry out the foams after. Even the bearings survived.
nice! Sounds like some extreme driving!
I bought this and I’m so glad I did. It’s really fun
I have a Xmaxx and xrt, my favorite rc cars ever. Looking into a trail/crawler... figured since I like them I'd like this scx6
I like seeing a review video with somebody hitting difficult obstacles. I use two 5000 batteries and one 5500 just to get me back to the parking lot. 🤙
One of the best scx6 videos I’ve seen on here…. Have you done any upgrades or had any issues with it now that you’ve been running it for a while??
If SCX6 comes in a kit I might consider it. I like to drive things fast in addition to rock crawling. 4S for the SCXIII, 6S for my two 1/8 Traction Hobby Rubicon & Tank 300. I think the SCX6 should be powered by 8S capable ESC & motor. At this scale, its movement will be very nice at speed. Here is the problem though: it will not last long at 6S, and 8S will probably damage it in just a few minutes.😆
Great video. I’ve had mine for about a week and I love it. The only issue I’ve had is a seemingly minor roll over causing a side mirror to punch through the body pretty good. I think that’s just a factor of the weight. Collapsing mirrors would be nice. I think I’m just going to reinforce the body where it cracked and leave the mirrors off from now on.
yeah can see that happening - I've just been lucky with the rolls its taken. Be cool to see some different bodies for it altogether.
@@DiscoverRC Agreed! Would love to see a new Bronco or new Defender body for it. Maybe Traxxas owns the rights to those though…
@@RobSchlegel Bronco Raptor!
Heyyy!! Rock City! I live in San Ramon and have an SCX6 as well.
Fantastic review. Never stop the RC!
Thanks so much - never stop!!
1/6 > 1/10
More realistic feel and drives like one due to weight. Cool review im like 👍 number 2.
Great review Jon! What a nice truck! Don't you get tired of washing trucks? Says the guy who flys diesel and glow airplanes....
just hose it off and good to go!
great video 👍
I was hesitating whether to buy it or not, with your video I finally decided to buy it. Do you know what would be a good video? An on the road comparison of a trx4 or similar vs the scx6 to see if the capabilities are similar or not. I haven't seen a comparison like this on YT
Good review, pleasant to view and listen. Honest comments. Waiting for my own to arrive 👍🏼
I hope they make different shells to put on this chassis.
that would be cool
0:46 Now that's huge Johnathan!
A fantastic job on the review yeah at one point I was thinking of getting a X-MAXX but the price of the truck and all the parts pretty munch made me just want to stay in the air with my planes&quads LOL.
Yup I hear you - especially with the xmaxx you have go all in on expensive traxxas packs.
@@DiscoverRC Exactly this truck your reviewing here will most likely put me in the poor house for sure IMHO.
@@DiscoverRC That's why I got the 1/5 Kraton! :)
Thanks for sharing great video. Very informational. Making it easier to pull the the trigger on buying one.
Really, really great video! I will definitely be referring my customers to this when they are waffling on whether to buy it or not.
Thanks so much Coz, appreciate that!!
Wow that's expensive 🫰..USD 1,100 ! that's equivalent of a motor vehicle price in my country...Haha...Well I guess I should sell off all my Mini Z collections to buy this awesome SCX6 because it's really looks Awesome with the details and the durability of this high quality 1/6 scale RC Crawler.👍
Great review! I'm primarily and RC pilot, but I do have a pair of Typhon's for bashing.
Flying and bashing! All good stuff!
Cool!! Do You Know, If They Have A Lift Kit For It? If I Decide To Get It, I Want To Add Bigger & Wider Tires..
Very nice bud. Well I like it. $1500 here in Canada. (00) YIKES. That isn't priced right for me. lol Gonna have to see if it comes down a little. Very nice work reviewing it and Yeah. I would watch more.. :) Thanks for sharing
whoa 1500 yeah that is pretty nuts. Waiting often gets you a better deal. This thing would lake awesome in the spots you usually drive!
They NEVER come down.
Wow best review yet. I got the green one today. Thanks for this.
awesome - have fun with it!
Really nice truck, seemed to handle a steep climb 👍🏻
Did much better than I expected!
7:13 is what i wanted to see!
I bought mt scx 6 because the scale of it... its really realistic.
Really appreciate your video. Now if you had the choice would you go with the Wrangler or the Honcho?
Wow, that thing is huge!
We need 1/3 scale next! ;p
@@DiscoverRC that’s rideable Power Wheels status. 🤣
Ordered mine this morning 💪🏻. Great video dude.
nice! have fun with the beast!
You gave I feel a thorough review. Good job
thanks :)
I enjoyed your unbiased approach to this truck. New Sub. Thanks!
Thanks Toe!
I paid $843 for mine. new Horizon Hobby sale plus another 10% off
Thanks for giving you trustworthy word on this
Thanks for checking it out :)
i have an issue with mine which lost my interest when i bought it :( servo doesnt turn to the right at all ! turning circle is bad to the right. straight out of the box ! cant find a fix. tried calibrating and everything.
great review! Id have to say from the abuse ive put mine through its a tank! Just posted a video on it!
Great Honest Review!!! Love it. I agree, the paid reviews I don't care to watch. Never anything negative or worth while. Please keep these coming. Never Stop! 🛑
Thanks Daren, will try!
Maybe I miss it? Can you set the lockers on the axle by radio?
Where are you from? Im in oakley and delta rc is my go to! I have wondered how the scx6 would handle at rock city
3xs the price but 5xs the fun 🤣 might have to try that one!
Small expensive boulder coming at you. You had me laughing a lot on top of a great review, cheers!
Excellent review! What this thing lacks in speed, it totally makes up for with its scale like characteristics! Not my cup of tea, but very cool! If you like it, it's totally worth the money!
Thanks Charles! Yup it definitely won't be for everyone but so far I've been very happy with it. :)
3brothersRC is coming out with a 6s sensored outrunner. Plenty of speed and 1lb less than stock motor
Mooie video
Binnenkort heb ik er ook 1 en bedankt voor je uitleg🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
solid review!! love this rig so far, just need to get a better steering servo!!
yep good point - realizing that more and more.
@@DiscoverRC literally the only thing I can fault on this rig.
I've spent that much on a few 1/10th scale crawlers. I think it's worth the price.
😕
Where are you? where ever you are there is lots of nature and crawler tracks
Northern California - lots of amazing crawling spots :)
It is 100% worth it!! Nice video
Awesome driving and great video!
Thanks Richard!
Nice job. Love this truck
thanks Ryan, it's a good one
You mention Delta R/C, is this the one in Antioch? Where are these places you went crawling? I’m new to the scene
yup that's the one - crawling in Rock City Mt Diablo
I get this for 259 dlls it turns on and steers but wont move, the Front diff wont move either any Tricks for this???
W@@@Zers Jon! You Did Some EXCELLENT Video Work & Editing On This One! *Maybe AXIAL Should Give You A FREE ONE For Your Time & Great Review Showing What All This Amazing BEAST CAN DO, Plus Hire You As A New Company Spokesman!!! Thanks Buddy PS I Won't Ever Buy One Seeing On I Have About $30+K Invested In A Real 1991 Chevy Suburban 3/4 Ton Square Body w/Near 500hp, 6" Aluminum Lift Kits, Full Around RANCHO Dual Shocks+ H/D-Springs Kits+ Nylon Body Mounts, Fully Length Chrome SMITTIES Nerf-Step Bars, Full Skid Plates, Extended Range Fuel Tanks+, Roof Racks, H/D Bumpers+ Tow Packages+ Front Winch+ Tow Bar, Sittin On 12"x33" BF-Goodrich ALL Terrains Mounted On Aluminum Bud Mags, Etc... Soo I'm Not A Jeep Wrangler Kinda Guy...🤣 #NeverStopTheRC
You got the real deal for off roading John!
@@DiscoverRC Prior To Her, After High School I Bought A 1970 C10 K5 4x4 Blazer, 350ci, 4sp Manual, She Was All Painted CAT Yellow Inside & Out+ Full Roll Cage w/White Fiberglass One Piece Removable Shell Top, 2" Blocks w/H-Duty Suspensions, Extra Fuel+ Skid Plates, On 10" BF-Goodrich All T's+ White Steel Rims, w/Rear Steel Swing To Left 2-6gal Cans+ Full Size Spare Tire Rack! She Was My Everyday Driver, Go Any-where Vehicle For 20+Years + Over 200K Miles Till Starting To Rust Out & Fall Apart! Then I Got & Built The 1991 Suburban... 🤣
It looks EXACTLY like the 1/8 scale YK4082 i bought...
Nice review. Too expensive for me unfortunately when it translates to I think £1100 here in the uk. The other consideration is that no one I go crawling with will have one so you'd very much be the odd man out.
yep that's true - I don't see it at all replacing the more popular scales.
My question is" Can it fly?"🥰
yes, in the baggage hold!
How fast can the Jeep RC go?
That thing is massive wish I had the $1,000 bucks I would snag me one up. If I did buy it what other batteries work on this or do I have to use the spectrum smart batteries
You definitely don't need the smart battery - any 5000 mAh with EC5 connector or adaptor to EC5. I am not using a smart pack.
@@DiscoverRC That's good. Most of my batteries have a deans connector on them can I chop off the EC5 and use one of the dean's connectors
Delta RC in Antioch?
cool vid!! big like!!👍👍👍
thanks so much!
What's the cost on the charger and battery?
Delta rc is a great shop in Antioch, Ca!
yup!
@@DiscoverRC I miss that place. They almost always had what I needed in stock 🙂
Great review!
Spiffy review indeed. Cheers.
Thanks FGD!
Excellent review
Thank you Jetinator!
@@DiscoverRC Major Jetinator
@@NerdSteve of course!
Great Review!
can we get a side by side comparison with a 1/10 and also with Ryan's jeep? ;D
what about a comparison with Ryan side by side?
@@DiscoverRC that works too
Are you in Antioch?
Nice review
thanks!
Nice but the price
Nice
i want to talk about that weird shaped question mark. wth?
Yeah it's a weird font lol
Can use 4s?
2-4s
I’ll buy it for 800
It is worth? Plan to buy
I think it's worth it.
@@DiscoverRC it is true can tow a car?
I've put much more into a couple 1/10th trucks. Lol
Hi 👋 my name is Stan I'm homeless and have a RC addiction.
Nope!
Ok if u want something to 'play with'. Theres not anywhere to compete with 8th scale, much less a bigger 6th scale. & No replacement parts nor upgrades are available anywhere, now.
Great for trail crawling. Thats about all.
Axial/horizon hobby should HAVE reinvented the scx10 6x6. I would have paid as much as this 'thing' FOR a scx 6x6.
It's all play lol. Anyway, seems like all spare parts are in stock on HH site. I only clicked on the first 15 items or so since there are a lot of them. What 8th scale or larger 6th scale is better? Maybe I'll get one.
Ever
He back!
Great review!
thanks!
