Scale and Trail® Crawler
The Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 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 6x6 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 6x6 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.

Details
The TRX-6’s extreme off-road capability lies in the technology beneath its rugged exterior.
Single-Piece Extended Frame Rails
Molded Wire Retainers
Dual-Fit Battery Tray
Floor Pans
Aluminum Scale Shocks
Heavy-Duty Steel Links
Precision Hex Hardware
Single-Piece Extended Frame Rails
Designed exclusively for the TRX-6, thick 1.5 mm steel frame rails are formed from one solid piece for maximum strength.
Molded Wire Retainers
The finer details matter so we incorporated wire retainers into the frame rails to provide a clean look and keep the wiring more secure from off-road hazards.
Dual-Fit Battery Tray
TRX-6’s main battery tray accommodates a full-length LiPo for extended run times or smaller 1/16 scale Traxxas batteries. A hinged battery strap provides quick and secure battery mounting without pins to lose in the field. The innovative strap flips over to adjust for different height batteries. A secondary front-mounted battery tray accepts smaller 1/16 scale Traxxas batteries to position weight directly over the front axle for maximum climbing traction on technical climbs.
Floor Pans
Tough floor pans integrate with the wheel wells to enhance the scale appearance and keep debris out of the chassis. The bright chrome dual exhaust attaches firmly to the frame and blends with the floor pans for an extra touch of scale detail.
Aluminum Scale Shocks
Six oil-filled coil-over GTS shocks smooth out even the roughest trails. These silver-anodized aluminum shocks deliver silky-smooth damping and feature threaded bodies for easy ride height adjustment. The convincing scale realism looks great and they perform even better with an O-ring cap seal and dual X-ring shaft seals.
Heavy-Duty Steel Links
Thick 5 mm diameter lower steel links on all three axles feature tough, fully-captured heavy-duty rod ends with steel hollow balls for exceptional strength and durability. This is one rig that won’t strand you on the trail with a broken suspension link.
Precision Hex Hardware
The TRX-6 uses tough hex hardware throughout for improved strength and easy servicing.
Portal Axles
Torque Twist Eliminated
T-Lock™ Remote Locking Differentials
High/Low Range Transmission
Hardened Steel U-Joints
Twin Friction Plate Slipper Clutch
Sealed Ball Bearings
Portal Axles
Three portal axles lift the differential pumpkin to provide incredible ground clearance. This innovative design also improves axle geometry and reduces strain on the driveshafts. Steel gears ensure trouble-free performance, no matter how technical the climb.
Torque Twist Eliminated
Unlike conventional rigs, the TRX-6’s radical portal axle design reduces the gear ratio at the wheels, virtually eliminating torque twist through the chassis. Total axle gear reduction is over twice non-portal designs so Titan motor torque delivers smooth forward motion, not frame twist.
T-Lock™ Remote Locking Differentials
Traxxas gives you the freedom and versatility to lock and unlock both the front and rear differentials remotely from your transmitter. With its differentials unlocked, the TRX-6 defies its length with a tight turning radius and easy maneuverability. When the trail gets technical, lock just the front or lock the front and both rear axles for superior pull and grip over extreme terrain.
High/Low Range Transmission
Why carry your crawler down the trail when you can drive? The TRX-6 features a high speed gear to get you to your next crawling challenge quickly. When you get there, flip the rocker switch on your transmitter to engage low range and conquer tough terrain with exceptional torque.
Hardened Steel U-Joints
Hardened steel U-joints on the front and rear driveshafts provide smooth, reliable power delivery for non-stop fun.
Twin Friction Plate Slipper Clutch
A twin friction plate slipper clutch provides some additional protection from motor stalls in extreme crawling conditions. A slipper eliminator is available as an option for extreme applications (sold separately).
Sealed Ball Bearings
Black sealed ball bearings resist mud and dirt to keep your rig rolling smoothly.
Raised Center Driveshafts and Suspension Links
High Steering and Drag Links
45-Degree Steering Angle
Extreme Approach Angles
High Ground Clearance
Front Motor Design
Raised Center Driveshafts and Suspension Links
TRX-6’s radical portal axle design raises the driveshafts higher to improve axle geometry and reduce driveshaft angles. Higher driveshafts and suspension links pass over obstacles to avoid high-centering your truck and reduce overall grinding wear over rocks.
High Steering and Drag Links
The steering link and drag link attach high on the portal axles, raising them away from possible damage. This allows the TRX-6 to attack obstacles head on, reducing the risk of hitting the steering linkage on rocks.
45-Degree Steering Angle
With the front differential unlocked, the superior 45° steering angle negotiates around even the tightest bends with ease. This helps avoid awkward reversing maneuvers in tight spaces.
Extreme Approach Angles
With a 60° out-of-box approach angle in the front, TRX-6 is ready to climb walls. An equally impressive 55° departure angle provides extreme capability, even in the deepest ruts.
High Ground Clearance
Portal axles help raise the center ground clearance to an unparalleled 3.14″ (80 mm), while raised suspension links and driveshafts clear the rocks underneath. Superior capability equals more fun no matter where your adventure takes you.
Front Motor Design
The TRX-6’s large 550 size brushed 21-turn Titan motor provides smooth reliable power and loads of torque to climb the toughest obstacles. The front mounted orientation moves the weight bias forward for better balance to get you up and over obstacles.
XL-5 HV ESC
Titan 21T 550 Motor
Waterproof Metal Gear Servo
TQi™ 4-Channel Radio System
Waterproof Micro Servos with Sleeved Cables
LED Lighting
XL-5 HV ESC
HV stands for compatibility with the high-voltage 3s LiPo battery packs for greater efficiency and power. In addition to the three standard profiles (Sport, Race, Training Mode™), the XL-5 HV features a Trail profile that serves up a little bit of drag brake for smooth intuitive driving for most of your adventures. A new Crawl profile introduces hill hold and instant reverse for extremely technical courses. Either will help you navigate the trail with ease.
Titan 21T 550 Motor
Torque rules the trail! The TRX-6’s massive Titan 21T motor pumps out huge torque to get you up and over anything that gets in the way. An integrated cooling fan keeps temperatures down for extended run times.
Waterproof Metal Gear Servo
A new full-metal gear digital servo gives you the durability and steering authority you need to confidently and reliably power through tough challenges.
TQi™ 4-Channel Radio System
The Traxxas TQi radio system features exclusive cruise control for long-distance treks. Set your speed using the transmitter and then use the multi-function knob to fine-tune it faster or slower to match your pace. The grip-mounted rocker switch selects high or low range gears to suit the terrain while a separate toggle switch engages or disengages the locking differentials, all on the fly. Best of all, the TQi is compatible with the 6511 Wireless Module so you can set up everything right from your smartphone.
Waterproof Micro Servos with Sleeved Cables
TRX-6 uses three fully-waterproof micro servos to actuate the front and rear differentials as well as the high/low range selection on the transmission. Sleeved micro cables eliminate complicated linkages that would otherwise limit suspension articulation.
LED Lighting
The pre-installed LED light kit takes scale realism to the next level with working headlights, tail lights, roof lights, and side markers. A regulated power supply provides consistent reliable power to eliminate dimming and overheating. Fully waterproof and built Traxxas-Tough, the installed LED lighting is ready for your wildest adventures.
