The Traxxas Trx6 just keeps breaking the rules... I don't think a lot of folks thought it would be as good of a crawler as it is, or be just a fun bash vehicle.... Now you guys are trying to break the speed limit with it... wow. What a great monthly mayhem.. Cheers mate 👍
Dude! That hit made me hurt. Back in '08 I caught 1/8 Truggie in the side of my right foot on the long end of the straight. Two broken metatarsals. Fun toys, yeah it's real when it's that kind of wrong.
Way to go bro, stoked for ya! Haven't watched Matt's video yet...but either way 60mph with a off-road 6x6 is a hell of an accomplishment. Best mayhem yet!!!
OK, So do it for Dale, Murica! That Means Harley and Cleetus, or is that Josh and Garrett? Either way you need Bald Eagles to beat a Tractor 🚜. (Remember though where Lamborghini came from)
I feel like the access panel you made on the bottom is like the panel that pops of in fast in the furious movie when he gets the damage to manifold screen when hitting his second shot of nos lol
I just went thru Sacramento Monday and the smoke was pretty strong. From almost the bay to Nebraska really since Colorado’s fires smoke is blowing up that way. Crazy. Nice progress there.
Make plates to cover the sides of the rear wheels. That would help smooth out the turbulent flow from them and decrease the aero drag by a good amount .
I wonder if we could do speed runs with the old tether car setup? Limit the wrecks and could record slo-motion, and also maybe do it in under a vacuum to limit friction just a crazy thought
Trucks looking nice grats on 60 MPH here's a idea run one of your high amp battery to save weight or 2 in parallel u will get more out of it keep up great work
SO.... Josh..... Was it worth the busted up foot?? 😲 Also - are you two doing unwitting research for Traxxas - to produce a 6X6 SPEED MACHINE!! 😂😜 Carmine ✈🚂🚙
You ever take a high speed fan and do a slip stream test with smoke to see where the drag is. Bet that make good video, I'd watch for sure I'd love to see where the resistance is. Bet it swirls off the tailgate pulling it back like vacume.
Ever watch a dirt oval stock car race? Open all the windows, couple 3 bars in front of the driver, and open up the grill. Let that air flow through. Cool the motor/ESC and reduce your frontal area by a ton. Just a thought.
Glad to see it's off the donk and back on the hoosiers! Looks mean with those tires now! Let's see this thing hit 65! Throw another cell in the battery tray! Fun fact, Kevin Talbot over in the UK has a TRX4 on normal crawler tires that'll run this fast.....and all he did was shove a 3s Castle system in it and then yeet 6s at that. 'Course his is nearly uncontrollable, but still.
@@HarleyDesignsInc The mad crazy jumps he was doing with his seem to imply it was absolutely moving. You'd think it wouldn't fly that far. HE never GPS'd it though. Might be interesting to see what his response would be if he saw your finished product. Yours is by far the better rig, you and Matt's both. Actually engineered to go fast and be controllable, rather than simply 'haha castle system goes brrr' Keep up the lunacy I love seeing crawlers go way too fast and still be controllable!
I don’t know it this motor is capable of pulling more than the battery is giving. I think the real limit is the watt output of the motor. That is what limits a motor, that will be the real battle.
I'm curious why your gearing is so much different than your competition. I think he was running a 19-39 . At one point you mentioned 12-45. when I heard your gearing I thought you was running a much higher kv motor. Does the motor just pull so hard the gearing window is that huge?
He is not getting into the higher RPM's with the motor, he's topping out around 20k RPM and I was too at first. So I decided to gear down to try and make sure the motor wasn't running out of torque which is what I suspect is happening. So now I have geared down and will start to climb up to increase speed until I see a negative effect.
RUFF
Roooooooof!
Truck is looking sick, Josh! Bet it felt as sharp as it looks. 😬😁

Looks really slick. Great job on hitting the 60MPH.
This is heating up! Another fun series of Mayhem Josh....cannot wait for next week!
I’m pumped too!!
Ankles and Rc cars best friends since 1982!

Remove the grill and 3d print a tube from the grill to the motor or the head lights, make it rwd and remove the gear shift servos.
I cover removing the servos in this episode and show all the details. Making it RWD was discussed but stability could be lost.
@@HarleyDesignsInc good luck
Looking good Josh. This is super cool. I will be watching
You and Matt have crushed the internet with this series! Congrats on hitting the big SIX-OH! 🏁🏁🏁
Totally enjoying this!! Not something I would ever want to build but absolutely enjoying watching!!
Slam the roof line...And lower the rollbar...Many style points!
It’s a lexan body... slamming the roof would just never look right 🙃
For the graphics, working the “Snail Builder’s Guild” idea in would be funny, maybe with Uncle Sam “salting” the snail or something?
I'm loving this series guys, great entertainment and content thank you
Yessir i absolutely love it cant wait to see trx3 intimadator YOUR CRUSHING THIS 4 MURICA 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Keep up the good work. I think the Hoosier tires look awesome as well.
The carbon fiber wrap is a cool touch, very nice. 👍
Man that thing looks good! Especially with those hoosier tires!
Damn that is insane. The motor sounds so awesome as it passes by!!!
I agree, I don’t touch the audio at all and it surprises the hell out of me every time.
Beautiful project you are working on keep up the good work.thumbs up👍
However it ends, your truck looks sick. Great body add ons.
USA BABY!!!!!!!
Everything about this is EPIC!
That wing is sick!!!! You got this in the bag dude!
Can remove the seals on some of the bearing that are on the inside to reduce some resistance
the best rc this year .. .
I thought Matt was doing bad this week but his feet work, good fun to watch, thanks
That’s freakin awesome, I’ve got a trx6 I’ve never thought about getting it to 60. Hell I made the back tires dually. Awesome!!!
Right on Josh!! Do it for DALE!! Yeeeeeehaaw!!
Ahhh that's why I like 👍
U should put ceramic bearings in the car so it could go faster!! Could help a lot!! Hope u get a faster mph!!!
Just saw Matt’s crash, I think you’ve got this. Good work
He’s already replaced the rails, I can’t sleep on him yet! He’s going to bring everything he’s got the last week!
However fast it ends up being, it looks big awesomeness
Loving the look so far! Nice work
TUMBLE WUMBLE MATT BUMBLED AND FUMBLED! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🧟♂️LOOKS APOCALYPTIC! 💪🏼😎👍🏼
KILLER BUILD BRO!!!
OK, So do it for Dale, Murica!
That Means Harley and Cleetus, or is that Josh and Garrett? Either way you need Bald Eagles to beat a Tractor 🚜. (Remember though where Lamborghini came from)
Mount Rushmore backdrop. Can’t get more American then that. 👊
This is turning out to be such a cool contest.
The rig is looking great! Good job man!
I feel like the access panel you made on the bottom is like the panel that pops of in fast in the furious movie when he gets the damage to manifold screen when hitting his second shot of nos lol
Awesome job on the aero! That thing looks fantastic.
Great vid brother! Great job on truck love the look👍
I just went thru Sacramento Monday and the smoke was pretty strong. From almost the bay to Nebraska really since Colorado’s fires smoke is blowing up that way. Crazy. Nice progress there.
Congrats on hitting the 60mph! great job
Hell yeah brother
It looks so tuff lowered with all
of your body mods and the slicks.
Looks meeeeean with the new hoosiers👌🏼👌🏼😎
I just need a bashable rugged version of the tyco rc scorcher 6x6.
The truck looks awesome...good run...
Maybe make up some canards for the front corners. Might keep the nose down without adding serious front downforce
That’s right in line with my plan.
Make plates to cover the sides of the rear wheels. That would help smooth out the turbulent flow from them and decrease the aero drag by a good amount .
Do you keeptrack of how much weight you removed and added. current vs original weight?
I wonder if we could do speed runs with the old tether car setup? Limit the wrecks and could record slo-motion, and also maybe do it in under a vacuum to limit friction just a crazy thought
Matt bent the whole frame🤣🤣
Can't you remove the rear roll bars ( truck bed), the mirrors and chrome things on the hood?
Can you shorten the legs of the rear roll bar to get it down behind the cab more?
Good job!! That thing is badass bro but why dont you switch to 6s or 8s lipo? That would be sick
Passionate I love it:) what do you enjoy more fabricating or testing;)
Design and fabrication is my favorite for sure! Testing is short and sweet, gives the reward without spending hours on it.
I have to say I think you truck looks better then Matt’s. My vote goes to you for style points.
Me too i like Matt's too tho this just more my style
new rims match the style much better
I like them as well!
dude... the shot with the plane was "CHOICE"
At least your frame didn’t bend 😂
Don’t feel bad, i hit my ankle with the felony when i did the unboxing of my hobby shops demo car 🤣🤣
Btw you can disconnect the front drive axle right? Have you tried it yet for giggles and grins?
I can do that, I’m just worried about losing control without the front drive.
Harley Designs That could very well be the case but it might give you 5+ mph too... who knows right? :-) Rootin for ya buddy!
Trucks looking nice grats on 60 MPH here's a idea run one of your high amp battery to save weight or 2 in parallel u will get more out of it keep up great work
We have to use Traxxas batteries.
Canards on the front bumper sides will be needed once you fully build the rear diffuser to increase the front end down force
Splitter and canards are my plan.
@@HarleyDesignsInc nice, really enjoying this battle great job 👍
How are you getting RPM telemetry? I'm struggling with it on my trx4.
The VXL 8s shows the data thru the Traxxas app. However it will only work with brushless motors.
Yours wins in looks dept hands down far more scale looking
You should try to run it with no body.
Oh i hit myself with my udr too.
Looking great
SO.... Josh..... Was it worth the busted up foot?? 😲
Also - are you two doing unwitting research for Traxxas - to produce a 6X6 SPEED MACHINE!! 😂😜

ceramic berrings my frind just did some testin in my stock m07 just changing the berrings went from 3600rpm to the wheel to 3800 rpm
Looks great!
19t pinion 35pitch spur make the rear wing wider and put a defuzer on the rear...👍

I’ve been thinking on the grill, but I don’t think
I’ll remove all the windows. I don’t think the body will hold up in a crash like that.
The restrictions/rules made this such a close competition. I know it's a lot of work, but too bad it's ending so soon.
Yeah the rule set for this challenge was dead on! Making for a fantastic series.
@@HarleyDesignsInc not to take anything away from the others but this one was my favorite. Great job.
Glad to see it's off the donk and back on the hoosiers! Looks mean with those tires now!

I don’t he actually ever hit any speed close to this. I think he just says it can because of ballooning tires.
@@HarleyDesignsInc The mad crazy jumps he was doing with his seem to imply it was absolutely moving. You'd think it wouldn't fly that far. HE never GPS'd it though.
Might be interesting to see what his response would be if he saw your finished product. Yours is by far the better rig, you and Matt's both. Actually engineered to go fast and be controllable, rather than simply 'haha castle system goes brrr'
Keep up the lunacy I love seeing crawlers go way too fast and still be controllable!
Wow this thing is insane!
The front air dam should be a splitter. It needs a blade to help split the air and send it up and around the front dam.
Where did you get that hooligan sticker sheet again. Thanks!
Hoonigan.com
Wind tunnel! Wind tunnel!
LOL... I was gitty when I hit 15MPH with my TRX6.
NICE! Congrats on 60mph! BTW, did the Dynamite GPS agree with the Traxxas app?
Yeah, pretty much dead on.
ABS ? That looks like kydex ? O use it on my rigs and to make knife sheaths . its heat moldable.
Nope, standard ABS. Kydex is a cool material but much different than this.
I think some more amps with your batteries will be a big help.
I don’t know it this motor is capable of pulling more than the battery is giving. I think the real limit is the watt output of the motor. That is what limits a motor, that will be the real battle.
Soooooo GoooOOOOoooD!
Reminds me of a bosozoku style now
Great build
I feel the pain bro my Rustler4x4 into my shin full speed two days ago have three different cuts and a baseball size bruise
That trx6 just looks fast. I know it is fast but it looks really fast.
BACON!!!!!!
Man that thing is fast. Were you out by mather? Looks busy. Also, is it possible to get those lock out pieces? That is exactly what i need
Yes exactly where I was, just off Zinfandel. I'll upload the lockout pieces onto my thingiverse soon.
why was the roll bar missing in some of your testing?
Just playing around with some ideas. Possibly lowering it, removing it, or building a new cowl for the rear.
May have to photo shoot with some Barbie dolls! lol
would taking out the front driveshaft help
I’ve thought about but just worried i would lose some control.
@@HarleyDesignsInc did you set the profile up on the traxxas app as a xo1.
and then unlock the 100mph.? if not it's not going to go faster then 60
That was only the castle system that had that, the 8S system is not a lockable ESC.
Dang that had to hurt bummmer bro

Yes, it came like that.
