I have had to fix a few things on My 1/6th. I pulled the pass side shaft out and rana weld around it, i then groud it down so the bearings would fit back on, it seem to be holding much better than the stock shat and cup. on my small one i put a toyota tacoma concept body on it so it did not look like the big one. Notice in the 1/6th the gauge cluster and heater controls and where the park brake was it now has transfer case twin sticks.

Does anyone know if they are going to be making upgrade parts for these thing in the near future?

My Feedback: (14)

they have upgraded to some better axles and such but you can only get the upgrades if you buy a whole chassis. I have a first generation and with all the walmarts out of stock around here looks like i won't be getting an upgraded one from walmart but we can order direct at funrise.com to see if you have gen 1 or 2 look at the shocks they will be screwed in both top and bottom for the gen 2. the upgraded gen 2 has better axles with more metal in them instead of plastic.

I got a 1\6 and drove it for the first time today... after about 15 min. I snapped the metal peice on the inside of the front axle... Anyone had this problem yet?

mikeg576

no not yet but my steering knuckles are all messed up and the metal ball that is the axle has stripped the hub out . now when i turn under pressure it locks into a left only turning. i got my revo w/ a jeep unlimited rubi body!!![>:]

ktoomracer_436

yah i think my steering was messed up as well... sometimes it would just steer from left to right all the way to lock... not sure, i mailed it back to walmart.com but still havn't gotten a reply from them recieving it yet. with my luck this is gunna take a real long time to get another.

I just painted mine today. I have drilled hole in the rims, cut the little tabs under the support arms. Added limit straps and put o-rings on the drive gears.

Not much done to mine, just tire cutting and reversing. It did make a bit of difference. The pic compares the 1/6 Nylint to the New Bright 1/10 scale crawler.

I'm a noob here and was reading the thread about the 1:6 scale Rock Climber. I just bought one (Jeep) at my local Wal-Mart last night. They were closing them out for $49.98 ea.

I brought it to work with me and I'm messing around with it on and off. Seems to be quite the climber.

A couple of months ago, I also bought one of the Ultimate Soldier 1:9 scale Abrams Tank. It's a blast to run. So....between my Jeep and my Tank, I'm good to go......for a while.

Later..........
