From Traxxas:

 

The Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6 represents a singular vision to create the boldest and toughest all-terrain vehicle ever. Traxxas captures the spirit and no-compromise approach of the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6 with an officially licensed detailed scale replica built on the new TRX-6™ platform. Six drive wheels, three T-Lock™ remote-locking differentials, portal axles, high/low transmission, 6 aluminum long-travel shocks, and a stunningly accurate body with brilliant LED lighting make this the most advanced and capable RC crawler ever to hit the trail.

 

 

  • SUPERIOR 6X6 DESIGN

A fully independent intermediate axle puts an extra set of driving wheels where you need them most to power over obstacles that would otherwise be impossible. 6-wheel drive also allows greater traction to attack steeper inclines and more grip over loose and rocky surfaces.

 

       

 

  • EXCEPTIONAL BODY DETAIL

The TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6 faithfully reproduces one of the most exclusive and recognizable all-terrain vehicles ever created. Chrome accents, molded trim, and finely detailed lighting elements highlight the rich metallic paint. Traxxas’ uncompromising attention to detail elevates the TRX-6 to the ultimate expression of beauty and brawn.

 

  • FACTORY-EQUIPPED LED LIGHTING

Rugged and fully-waterproof, the preinstalled LED lighting blazes a path through the darkest night. Accurate scale details abound in the finely crafted headlights, taillights, and side marker lights. Even the roof visor is fitted with brilliant LED lighting. A dedicated power supply regulates the voltage for bright, consistent, and efficient lighting.

 

  • INNOVATION

The TRX-6 defies physics with radically innovative technology combined with precision engineering to create a completely new breed of scale crawler.
