Traxxas TRX-6 1/10 6x6 Ultimate RC Hauler Flatbed Tow Truck – Black

The Traxxas TRX-6 1/10 6x6 Ultimate RC Hauler Flatbed Tow Truck is a large-scale RC crawler designed for towing and off-road adventures. Built on the TRX-6 platform, it features a Titan 21T 550 brushed motor, XL-5 HV ESC, and a 6x6 drivetrain with T-Lock differentials. Equipped with a Pro Scale Winch and LED lighting, this off-road RC car offers scale realism and functionality for hauling Traxxas 4-Tec models.

Performance

The TRX-6 Hauler is powered by a Titan 21T 550 brushed motor with a high-low transmission, delivering ample torque for climbing steep grades, even when towing. The 6x6 drivetrain with remote-locking T-Lock differentials ensures robust traction across rocks, mud, or gravel, supported by portal axles for increased ground clearance. Six oil-filled GTS aluminum shocks provide smooth damping, adjustable for loaded or unloaded configurations. The truck reaches modest speeds, prioritizing torque over high velocity, though the brushed motor may require cooling during extended heavy loads. Traction can be limited on slick surfaces without tire upgrades. The TQi 2.4GHz radio with cruise control enhances long-distance hauling precision.

Design and Features

The black-over-black chrome body, paired with molded side mirrors, unique bumpers, and gas tanks, delivers a striking short-course tow truck aesthetic. The flatbed features adjustable wheel chocks and tie-down bands to secure Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 or 3.0 models, with a pre-wired Pro Scale Winch for realistic loading. The 30-inch steel frame rails ensure rigidity, and 25 LED lights enhance visibility for twilight runs. The polycarbonate body may scratch during rough use, and the 6x6 configuration requires ample space for maneuvering. The fully waterproof electronics allow operation in water, snow, or mud, and extensive aftermarket support, like dually kits, enables customization.

Ease of Use and Maintenance

The TQi 2.4GHz 4-channel radio with cruise control offers intuitive operation, with telemetry support via an optional Traxxas Link module. The truck requires a 2S or 3S LiPo or 6–7 cell NiMH battery, providing 20–40-minute runtimes, with charging times of 60–90 minutes. The modular chassis simplifies maintenance, though small screws may strip with frequent handling. The 5.8kg weight demands careful transport, but the included tools ease repairs. The winch’s micro cables are reliable but may require occasional adjustment. Suitable for intermediate users, with beginner-friendly controls.

Special Notes: This is a Ready to Run model, fully assembled with a black body, Pro Scale Winch, LED lights, and four AA transmitter batteries included. Requires a 2S/3S LiPo or 6–7 cell NiMH battery and charger (not included). Ideal for towing Traxxas 4-Tec models, with aftermarket upgrades for enhanced performance.
