Description
6th Scale Comp Crawler
The Redcat Vertex-6 combines brushless power, durable engineering, and advanced suspension design to take large-scale crawling to the next level. Its electronics deliver smooth, responsive control, while the reinforced chassis and drivetrain provide the strength needed for extreme terrain. With finely tuned suspension geometry and precise steering, the Vertex-6 offers a perfect balance of power, durability, and performance for serious rock crawling enthusiasts.
About the Vertex-6
Brushless Power and Precision Electronics
The Vertex-6 is powered by the Hobbywing Fusion RTR 2-in-1 FOC system, combining a 4269 1800KV brushless motor with a programmable ESC for smooth, efficient, and reliable performance. With 4S capability, advanced FOC technology, and an 8.4V BEC, this system delivers exceptional torque and control across challenging terrain. Steering precision comes from the HX-LS large-scale digital servo, featuring durable metal gears and a massive 972oz/in of torque for confident handling. The brushless power system and precision electronics package provide the strength, accuracy, and responsiveness demanded by large-scale rock crawling.
Advanced Suspension and Steering Geometry
The Vertex-6 features an advanced suspension and steering system designed for smooth articulation and precise control. Air emulsion, oil-filled shocks with X-ring seals deliver consistent damping and durability across rugged terrain. Double CV joints provide ultra-smooth articulation, even at extreme steering angles, ensuring maximum maneuverability in tight spots. Adjustable Ackerman geometry with included tuning blocks allows drivers to fine-tune steering response for optimal handling. Together, these features create a suspension system that balances durability, flexibility, and precision for serious crawling performance.
Durability
The Vertex-6 is built on a low center of gravity chassis with a forward-mounted motor, delivering stability and strength on demanding terrain. Reinforced solid axles with steel internal tube inserts provide exceptional durability, while hypoid-style ring and pinion gears increase ground clearance and allow the diamond-shaped axle housing to slide smoothly over obstacles. Splined metal driveshafts ensure a constant, reliable connection, with angled ends designed to clear rocks and uneven terrain. High-clearance rear links, adjustable suspension geometry, and a tilt body mounting system further enhance toughness and performance. Combined, these features create a crawler that's engineered to withstand extreme conditions while maintaining precision and control.
