Default Re: CROSS RC UC6 6x6 Ural Truck

I got the upgrade kit installed on mine. If anyone is interested in ordering one let me know, I have not figure out a price yet. It comes with metal ball joints and better links to replace every single link on the truck, new hardware to rearrange the front steering bar to the back side, assorted different screws, metal dampers (from the Tamiya trucks) to limit the suspension downward motion to avoid damage, and 3d printed parts to replace the flexible parts on the rear suspension. The printed parts use coarse sheet metal screws, they bite into plastic so much better then using fine pitch metric. I already stripped one of the stock parts out that used the fine pitch into plastic.

The dampers are a critical part of the upgrade, they keep the axles from bending downwards. If you notice in my videos when I tried to test the strength of the truck the tires had so much traction the axles would actually bend under the vehicle, this upgrade prevents that, aswell as prevent any damage from trying to crawl over large objects.
