RC4WD Beast II 6×6 Truck RTR

RC4WD Beast II 6x6 Truck RTR

If you’re looking for a ‘Beast’ of truck to do a little offroading with, you’ll want to check out RC4WD’s new Beast II 6×6 crawler!

This truck uses a 6WD drivetrain with a wheelbase of around 408mm, plenty long to span gaps and crevices that would stall out most other crawlers. It uses a R3 scale 2-speed transmission to provide power to the triple cast-metal axles, all connected using a realistic aluminum ladder frame chassis. Keeping to the scale look, a 3-link front and 8-link rear suspension provide exceptional handling while the Humvee 1.9″ beadlock wheels and Mil-Spec ZXL 1.9″ tires claw over the terrain.

The best part, though, is the killer-looking Mil-Spec hard body that is molded in green and sporting external features like mirrors, door handles and a spare tire holder. Altogether, the body set is made up of close to 100 individual parts, making it a masterpiece as a scale ride.

There’s alot more info on this ride, but you’ll have to head over to RC4WD’s website to check it out (see link below). I want one – this would make a really fun outdoor vehicle!
