Video: Mercedes-AMG G63 6X6 feels at home in snow, even if it’s just a toy

With all of northeastern and northwestern Texas hit by a severe snowstorm and another major blizzard approaching from the east, you’d wish you had a 6X6 Mercedes G-Class parked in your backyard.

The issue is, precious few can afford a G-Wagon, let alone a tri-axle version. Those who find themselves lacking the funds may still experience a bit of wild off-road driving by… ordering a Traxxas Rock Crawler TRX-6. The remote-controlled car is a painstakingly precise 1/10 replica of the original that inherits most of its overlanding capacity. Watch the video for an impressive demonstration. The toy G-Class 6X6 conquers snowdrift after snowdrift without skidding or getting its wheels caught. Good job!

On a more serious note, Traxxas toys feature a true six-wheel drive system, remote diff locks, and waterproof internals. Furthermore, they even sport portal axles similar to those of the real G63 to maximize ground clearance.
