Traxxas TRX-6 Mercedes-AMG G63 6×6 Is Ready To Tackle The Rubicon

This looks like so much fun.

There’s never been a better time to be a car enthusiast. Yes, new-car prices continue to rise along with auto loan defaults, but car culture reaches far beyond shiny new cars. Video games, toy models, and R/C cars help introduce today’s youth to the automobile and give older car enthusiasts the ability to drown themselves in automotive awesomeness. The latest must-have toy comes from Traxxas, the R/C toy company. Its latest offering is the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 – and it sounds spectacular. Is it too early to make a Christmas wish list?

Traxxas calls its TRX-6 G63 6×6 “The most advanced and capable R/C crawler ever to hit the trail.” It’s a bold claim backed up by the badass video above and a spec sheet that reads like a press release from Mercedes-AMG. The R/C car has power going to all six wheels while featuring three T-Lock remote-locking differentials, a high/low transmission, long-travel shocks, and more. It’s waterproof and features an LED lighting package that comes with its own dedicated power supply. 

The TRX-6 Mercedes-AMG G63 6×6 does more than just look the part of an off-road vehicle. It features stellar approach and departure angles – 60 and 55 degrees, respectively. Pair that with its 3.14-inch (XX-centimeter) ground clearance, thanks to its the portal axles, and its 45-degree steering angle, and you’re ready for the Rubicon.

Traxxas makes terrific R/C cars that push the boundaries of realism. The R/C company works hard to recreate vehicles in the miniature form accurately, and the G63 6×6 is no different, featuring chrome accents, molded trim pieces, and metallic paint. For many, this is the only opportunity to enjoy the AMG G63 6×6 in all its absurdity. And it looks like a blast. It’s in stores now.
