Axial SCX10 – 1/10th Scale Electric 4WD Truck – Kit – No Electronics
The new Axial SCX10 is the kit to have when it comes to building a scale working replica of your favorite old truck. Features like a true C-channel ladder frame, with bolt on shock hoops, custom styled skid plate and double spring oil filled shocks are just a few of the items that sets this kit apart.


Realistic scale looks based on the durable drive train from the popular AX10 Scorpion
Realistic looking 2 spring oil filled shocks allow you to control the spring rate and dampening to suit any driving style or weight of truck
Grey anodized aluminum links add to the scale realism
All new 1.9” wheels and Pro-Line tires not only look realistic but are a huge upgrade in performance

[jetboat]

saw it at I-hobby... first rate as always "thumbsup"

[Georgerm]

really liking those beadlocks and chassis

[zach]

YES!!

finaly some real pictures

[liketocrawl]

Can't wait!! what's with the green locks? How about black?

[Skeeno]

Can't wait!! what's with the green locks? How about black?
Dude, it's an Axial. All their stuff is green.

[old man 52]

anybody got a price on this?

[RCMFMaxxMan]

anybody got a price on this?

i would guess it would be similar to the ax10 prices. Don't see why it would be any more or less. Basically all the same stuff just in a different form or another.

[goldmember]

Can't wait for this. $265 on preorder at my LHS. "thumbsup"

[zach]

anybody got a price on this?


YA AROUND $250 FROM WERE I CHEKED BUT I DIDNT GET AN EXACT PRICE

[Lobonyc]

Wow...


Been thinking about converting mine to a scaler and Axial goes and does this...

Got to grab one of these babies up in order to save my ax10...lol

[Ced RC]

Our distributor shows ETA: 12/15 Hopefully this is accurate "thumbsup"

[BigSki]

that new chassis is just screaming for Brusier leaf springs..

can we get Axial to confirm what AX-10 drivetrain parts carried over to the new truck? It looks like the axles and tranny are the same, but it would be nice to know fer sure.

[Edison]

Do you any detail dimension about this kit?

[Brandon]

Nice! I cant wait "thumbsup"

[chvy4wd]

Looks good. Almost looks exactly like the TCS X-Trail chassis.

[crunky]

Looks good. Almost looks exactly like the TCS X-Trail chassis.

i was thinking this same thing.
funny how this happens.

chevy and ford did this with the truck line.

they sold trucks with 16's (wheels)
guys pulled the 16's to put on 20's +

now the trucks come stock with 20's.

go figure.

still a very cool ride, and it's great to see the support from axial.
now how about some accessories ?????

[Crawl Brawl]

Our distributor shows ETA: 12/15 Hopefully this is accurate "thumbsup"

Most likely it will be after the holidays. sometime in January i heard.

[Mad Scientist]

Looks great!

How about a chassis conversion kit, for those who already have the drivetrain and running gear from an AX-10?

[RCMFMaxxMan]

Looks good. Almost looks exactly like the TCS X-Trail chassis.

except that the axial is a c-channel chassis instead of just plain plates. The c-channel is a nice scale touch.


can we get Axial to confirm what AX-10 drivetrain parts carried over to the new truck? It looks like the axles and tranny are the same, but it would be nice to know fer sure.


Very realistic looks based on the popular AX10 platform
I think that basically says it. (reference the post on the rcc homepage)


How about a chassis conversion kit, for those who already have the drivetrain and running gear from an AX-10?

I second this! If they be nice, they'll do this :D ...i mean i don't own an ax10 rig but I know alot of people would enjoy a conversion.

[Axial]

We got one of the first pre-production sample parts in! "thumbsup"

The frame is a stamped steel C channel. The steel is more rigid than the original aluminum sample we had for the show truck and is of course laser etched with our Axial logos.

We'll post more when we get new parts in.

Thanks,
Axial

[Brandon]

Looks great! Will you guys be offering the chassis for sale separately?

[Axial]

Looks great! Will you guys be offering the chassis for sale separately?

Yes, all the components from this chassis are available separately.

We will also be selling complete frame kits as well as shock sets but are still working on part numbers and info for these.

Thanks,
Axial

Thats great news! Thanks Axial "thumbsup"

[exesivefire]

OH SNAP! :shock:

[Georgerm]

yes great this should be a great scale chassis.

[Akura2]

Will there be holes already drilled to accommodate leaf spring shackles?

looks really good...

damn I just ordered a RC4WD Trailfinder....


oh well.. I like my Trailfinder, maybe I'll buy this as a second or third scaler when it comes out

[RCMFMaxxMan]

Will there be holes already drilled to accommodate leaf spring shackles?


if not you could easily braze some mounts on since its steel. I think that is pretty cool. you could braze alot of stuff to it...

[JatoTheRipper]

That is cool. I just wish the body would be more modern and/or something more typical of a crawler - Jeep, FJ, etc.

[crunky]

I just wish the body would be more modern and/or something more typical of a crawler.

i'm kinda liking it the way it is and can't wait to see some of the paint/builds.
plus some of the mods the members here will be making will be intense..

well actually they hold circuses in tents...
aah nevermind.
wicked pissah little rig.

[RCMFMaxxMan]

That is cool. I just wish the body would be more modern and/or something more typical of a crawler - Jeep, FJ, etc.

same. the body would be cool for an aftermarket body for a custom build, but as the stock body on the production rig, not so much. I mean, how often do you see one of these on the trail? I felt the same way about the ax10 coming with the betty body. A cool body, but not something that would be comp'd in 1:1 lol. The artr body is much more fitting. So maybe when they come out with an artr scx10, it will have a more appropriate and common body.

Are you kidding? I have seen many dodge powerwagons wheelin' in competitions. Yes they are a little large for trails and things of that nature but they are awesome on big rock piles.

[Eritex Inc.]

Anyone else looking to get one of those frames just to cut, box, and make a mean rod out of.....

Need to start looking for some old Tonka, Ertl, or Nylint metal toys to start hacking on.

oh hell yes!! Now I have to buy one of your t-cases for this chassis...

Hey Axial- give one of these rigs to Bender and see what he can come up with for a 1.9 scaler comp rig.

[5150bronco]

Dam. i like the channel look for scale. very nice. i want one. compares very well to bruiser in scale look. "thumbsup"

[GTIMM74]

I LIKE IT!!!!! THE GREEN LOCK ARE A LITTLE MUCH THO!:ror:

[jmantalk]

very nice! I like it! "thumbsup"

[roksloski]

are they the same size axles as the ax-10...:?::?::?:

[Borat Voice] VER NICE!!

[SPECIAL ED]

I can not wait to get one of these!!!

[swisherteets]

Anyone else looking to get one of those frames just to cut, box, and make a mean rod out of.....
hacking on.

this was teh exact same thign that i thought of when i saw the c-channel frame.
the ideas of makeing a rat rod out of this....

as for the thruck man i know i am gonna have to get one. i have been planning on getting the tcs trail conversion but i think this is worth waitin on. I do really liek the body but its just my style of looks cause i like the betty body too though to be honest it will never be used for a comp body by me

[1BadJeepBruiser]

Yes, all the components from this chassis are available separately.

We will also be selling complete frame kits as well as shock sets but are still working on part numbers and info for these.

Thanks,
Axial

WOW that frame looks like an OG Bruiser frame :shock: This truck definitely has my full attention now"thumbsup""thumbsup"

[lemons17771]

does this come with motorm, esc..?

[old man 52]

no electronic. thats a good thing.

[Axial]

We just received the next wave of pre-production parts for the SCX10.

As always there are little issues here and there but for the most part they are spot on. The biggest issue is that they didn't quite send enough to assemble anything at this point, so we all have to wait a little.

Here are the latest parts.

Skid plate, and you can see one of the frame cross members on that tree.

Shock hoops

Battery tray holder - this will have an aluminum plate that mounts to the top of it, we wanted it to look like some tube work, and the ends wrap up around to prevent the battery from sliding out. There are also some extra posts included so that you can mount the battery in the front over the radio box or in the back as shown, depending on what body you use.

[Brandon]

Parts look great. The shock hoops look really nice! They will be adaptable to other scalers as well, great job "thumbsup"

[swisherteets]

man i just cant wait till it comes out. I was hoping it came out soon so i dont have to buy an x-trail and AX-10 I guess i will just have to buy both set ups :)
(got a release date for us yet :))

[Axial]

Should be here in January! We are pushing them as hard as we can, but delays in the mold making process have slowed us down.

Thanks,
Axial

[Shaun (yota)]

Are the axles the same as what comes with the other trucks?

[Montigo]

perfect timing...... i've been slowly looking at the pieces to make a scale rig. Great job axial "thumbsup"

[swisherteets]

Should be here in January! We are pushing them as hard as we can, but delays in the mold making process have slowed us down.

Thanks,
Axial

awsome you better believe I will be getting one. I love the looks of this

[svt923]

When are the 1.9 beadlocks going to be available? I have been waiting for functioning plastic 1.9 beadlocks for a while now.

[goldmember]

The pictures are like looking at scaler porn. "thumbsup"

[BigSki]

... We are pushing them as hard as we can...


don't push too hard, let the tool and die makers do the best job possible to assure high quality parts the first time around. ( I'm a tool maker, so I know what I'm talking about...."thumbsup")

Will seperate parts be availble at the same time that the truck gets released? I want to leaf-spring one of your chassis, it has to be done...

[countryboy4life]

Looks good Axial!!! "thumbsup" But January...dang, I wanted one for X-mas!!! :-(

[ubbb69]

Have them hire some more kids to speed up the molding process. We americans are impatient."thumbsup"

[jpterbl1]

Cant wait going to get one for sure

[Axial]

We just received the next batch of parts, everything is going together really well.

Radio box - this will hold a fairly large receiever so there is plenty of room

Body mount set - these are adjustable so you can control the height of the body and there is also one included that is higher and wider if you want to use SUV style bodies. These will also work to convert your AX10 Scorpion over to top body mount instead of the side

Rear brace set - this was part of the last items we needed to start assembly on the frame

Assembled Frame shot

[rhett314]

Looks nice. I'm gunna have to get me a couple of those frame set ups. Got some ideas flowing already. Nice job Axial. Thanks.

[Georgerm]

i want one of those chassis.

[MystRacing]

Looks fantastic! don't rush them it's better to get it right the first time than to try and fix preventable problems later.

[BENDER]

Finally got enough parts in to start my SCX10 build. "thumbsup"

Started with the shocks. Build them basically how you would any standard shock. Install the bottom E-clip onto the shock shaft, drop the shock piston on and snap the 2nd E-clip into place. Lube up the shock shaft O-rings with a little grease, install the first one into the shock body, set the plastic spacer in place, then install the 2nd O-ring and thread the lower cap on. Now slide the shock shaft into place, install the bump stop on the shaft, snap the ball stud into place, thread the rod end onto the shock shaft and install the pre-load collar onto the shock body. Fill the shock with oil, cycle the shock a few times making sure you let any air bubbles dissipate, install the O-ring in the shock cap and thread it onto the shock body. Using the supplied 2mm cap head screw attach the shock reservoir to the shock cap. Install the shorter spring first, then the spring retainer, then the longest spring and finish it off with the lower spring retainer. 8)

[Georgerm]

oh this is real good 8)

[rbgerrish]

We're so excited to have an excellent quality, mass-produced scale chassis coming ot the market! Awesome shocks too, nice and narrow. Great work Axial- you guys are making this hobby more and more user friendly by the week!

[BigSki]

I can't wait to get a bare chassis. I have so many ideas for this rig..

[BENDER]

Time to assemble the frame. Easiest thing to do is tie everything to one frame rail, then bolt the opposite rail on after you're done. Install the tranny after all the cross bracing and chassis skid are in place. Here's a few more pics as it goes together......

[BENDER]

A few more.....

[chip cross]

Looks awsome !!! :shock:"thumbsup"

[crunky]

looks very sharp.
i agree with what everyone says here, thanks for offering us a cost effective alternative so us lil guys can hang with the big boys "thumbsup"
i was looking at a 1.9 project down the road, and this would be the perfect foundation.

thank you. 8)

[AeroSynch]

Hey BENDER, is it possible to adjust the wheelbase on the chassis? Thank you. Looks awesome.

[cpd438]

I love Axial as much as the next guy for making turnkey crawling a reality, but I gotta throw a flag. Fake reservoir shocks??? Thats extra cheesy! Everything else looks awesome, Carry on!

[BENDER]

Hey BENDER, is it possible to adjust the wheelbase on the chassis? Thank you. Looks awesome.

Yes you can adjust the wheelbase, the shock towers have multiple shock mounting positions, and the rear tower can be moved on the frame as well. "thumbsup"

[BENDER]

Got the axles all assembled. Here's a few pics of the radio box too.

[crunky]

is it too early to tell what the wheelbase will be able to be adjusted to ?
(how short)
thanks.

[akguanja]

dang that radio box is sweet i could use that on a couple projects i have! ;d

lookign good bender.

- tre

[Rpp Hobby]

The frame and those shock hoops just do it for me "thumbsup" Very cool

[BENDER]

is it too early to tell what the wheelbase will be able to be adjusted to ?
(how short)
thanks.

Not exactly sure off hand, I'll have to get more of the build done first. You will need to change/use/build different links to adjust the wheelbase though. Building it box stock gives you about an 11 1/2" wheelbase. "thumbsup"

[rockzilla]

This is going to be a great build!! Can't wait to see more pics. <hint> <hint>

[liketocrawl]

Will all these parts be available before the release of the RTR? Those shocks are sweet.

[1BadJeepBruiser]

Man if that frame doesnt have Bruiser in it I dont know what does :lol: Looks awesome, Also looks like there is a strong possibility Bruiser leaf mount parts could possibility bolt on as well with a few extra holes...hmmmm

[goldmember]

Are all the suspension pieces going to be red?

[Axial]

Are all the suspension pieces going to be red?

All the links will be gray anodized. Bender is using red since it has become his signature color around the office.

Thanks,
Axial

[BENDER]

I love Axial as much as the next guy for making turnkey crawling a reality, but I gotta throw a flag. Fake reservoir shocks??? Thats extra cheesy! Everything else looks awesome, Carry on!

You don't have the run the fake reservoir shock caps if you don't want to, the kit also includes standard shock caps on the parts tree. ;-)

[BENDER]

Got the radio box installed. I also decided to try the optional mounting location for the battery tray out front. It'll bolt right up over the radio box using the standoffs supplied in the kit, keeping more weight on the front tires. "thumbsup"

[liketocrawl]

These teaser pics are killing me:flipoff:

[KvilleKrawler]

as an owner of two AX-10's I really like this but wish gray or black anodized beadlock rings came with the kit... But, I guess it's nothing a can of easy off couldn't fix...

but seriously I think getting rid of the green rings would be a positive change. I know a lot of people I comp with at NCRCC all say it's cool except you still have to deal with the green....

just my opinion... I will still be getting one..... Thanks Axial for the awesome products...

[BENDER]

Made a little more progress this morning, shocks, steering servo and axles are now bolted up.

[Tupers]

That's a cool looking chassis, I think it looks great with the red links. Will that tranny plate bolt up to AX10 chassis.

[2JSC]

Any word on if the frame kit is going to be sold separately? Because that would be awesome. "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

[WheelinKing]

ok now i want one !! lookin good bender im diggin the red "thumbsup"

[t9dragon]

All I can say is that it is one gorgoues chassis............:shock::shock::shock::shock::sh ock:"thumbsup"

And for all of you guys that complain about it being green, you should be thankful it isn't purple like most of the stock aluminum parts for the RC's from HPI.

[BENDER]

Any word on if the frame kit is going to be sold separately? Because that would be awesome. "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

Not sure yet, I'll find out and let ya know. 8)

Shot a few more pics of the scale build. You can see how much narrower the new 12mm hexes are compared to the AX10 kit hexes. Also took a few pics of the new Pro-Line 1.9 Flatirons. Overall width sits right at 9" with our axles, new hexes, new 1.9 beadlock wheels, and the PL tires.

[O.C.D.]

Thanks for the drooler pics Bender! Looks nice.

[liketocrawl]

This truck is going to be friggin bada$$. Once again Axial is killing it!

[dirk379]

My two new favorite things...

Proline's 1.9ers
Axials scx10

[TOYUTAH]

that is soo bad a$$! I just wish it was here by christmas, that would be an awesome present for me! :)

[BENDER]

Here's a shot of the new 1.9 Flatirons beside the 1.9 Rock Crushers. The new Axial 1.9 beadlocks hold both tires perfectly, no way you're pulling tire beads out with these wheels. "thumbsup"

[goldmember]

SIGN ME UP....I convinced myself to just focus on my AX10 and hold off on the SCX10...I just don't know if I can.

[exesivefire]

Yup...

Gotta have at least one "thumbsup"

[1BadJeepBruiser]

Looks awesome Brad, love how you can mount the battery tray up front. Gotta love all the though that went into this truck, realism and performance. Those narrowed up hexes are saweet as well as the pro-lines.

Looking forward to seeing more"thumbsup"

[twisted concept]

OH God i wanna get one soo bad :shock: i cant wait to see people dropping custom bodies.

BENDER what type of body you are you going to use?

[cpd438]

You don't have the run the fake reservoir shock caps if you don't want to, the kit also includes standard shock caps on the parts tree. ;-)

Right on! Again Axial is one step ahead of me!! Nice work guys! More pics please "thumbsup"

[dirtworkshw]

It's simply awesome brad...what body are you gonna use for this baby?

[BuzzKilla]

If you mount the battery in the back, those clips hold the wires from the battery to the ESC. Keeps them routed down and away from any moving parts. "thumbsup"

Thanks,
Axial

[Mriswith]

very nice touch. I've had a battery pack loose a fight with the spur gear on an X-Trail chassis.

[SnoopMaxx]

That chassis look´s :shock: AWESOME ! ! !

[5150bronco]

wow. nice. i really like the tires and the bend in the chassis....looks very original.

[lowslowTJ]

man that looks good. tell me, do the shocks compress only or do they also have a droop component? it looks like the shock shaft is not fully extended? thanks, lstj

[BuzzKilla]

Thanks,

Goes to show that the axial team actually test and put thought into their products "thumbsup"
easier to work with than a zip-tie
good job

[trailduster79]

This is definitely going on my wish list!!!

One question though. So much thought and time went into this design, but why not mount the servo on the frame if axial is truely going for an out of the box scale rig?

[Locked Up]

This is going to be a great way for a lot of people to step into the scale world and still have a very capable crawler.


It's gonna be a great addition to my herd;-)




Bender,
Your wheelbase came out to 11.5"?
(I thought that's what you said somewhere)

[MLambert19]

Awesome... just awesome. I agree about the rock rings, would rather have silver or black, but everything else about this whole setup is perfect!

I think a lot of hobbyists have been waiting for years for a truck like this to be released: kit, realistic, functional, detailed, decent pricing. While Tamiya has released some great semi-scale kits, their pricing is too far off.

I can't wait to get my hands on one! Keep up the great work Axial!

-Matt

[MystRacing]

Just put mine on order will be eagerly awaiting it.

[rockzilla]

Can we sticky this thread? It's getting further down the list.

[Brandon]

Can we sticky this thread? It's getting further down the list.

That would be nice, I doubt it though. Lets just keep posting to make sure it doesn't fall to the bottom :ror: Cant wait to get my hands on one!

[Lt1M6]

Can't wait looks good..."thumbsup"

[Flyin Hawaiian]

Good work axial you've done it again

[AeroSynch]

Looks awesome. Do you have an estimate on how much the chassis will be?

[rockzilla]

Does anyone know if the new Tamiya Tundra body fit nicely or requires some mod?

[SACCO]

I was wondering if it had provisions for a chassis mounted servo as well.

Looks like a winner either way though"thumbsup"

[AeroSynch]

Looks awesome. Do you have an estimate on how much the chassis will be?

Also, would a Hilux body work on it?"thumbsup"

[quick5pnt0]

I believe Axial said there would be an optional kit down the road for that.

[twisted concept]

Also wanting to know that as well...

Any word on release date and price?

[BENDER]

man that looks good. tell me, do the shocks compress only or do they also have a droop component? it looks like the shock shaft is not fully extended? thanks, lstj

The shocks are set-up for compression only out of the box.

This is going to be a great way for a lot of people to step into the scale world and still have a very capable crawler.


It's gonna be a great addition to my herd;-)

Bender,
Your wheelbase came out to 11.5"?
(I thought that's what you said somewhere)

Yup, 11 1/2" wheelbase. "thumbsup"

We put these scalers through quite a bit of abuse this weekend, and they work great. The stock spring rates are perfect with the kit supplied 30wt shock oil. The link geometry is spot on. And the Pro-Line 1.9 Flatirons work awesome, best looking/performing scale tire to date IMO. I'll get a few more pics posted of the complete truck ASAP. "thumbsup"

[goldmember]

How soon after the trucks release will different color bead lock rings be available?

I really wish someone would come out with a nice scale wagon wheel that won't break the bank and looks better the HPI stock car wheels.

[lowslowTJ]

Thanks for the reply. I for one, am excited about both the 1.9 tires and the chassis!

[countryboy4life]

Looks awesome!!! Can't wait for the pics!!! So has the release date came up or went further back any???? :?: I want one for Christmas BAD!!!!

[Warn Off Road]

That chassis may be the new scale standard!! Those shocks are awsome! Cant wait for some alum shock hoops. Yall are making the building process WAY to easy! keep up the good work guys

[Modman58]

Thanks for the info Bender, made me preorder the truck. Cant wait for it to ship. "thumbsup"

[BENDER]

Finally got a chance to snap a few more pics of the complete truck after it's first weekend out. We don't have any of the kit bodies available yet, so I just used one of the Betty bodies we had here at the office. 8)

I ended up using a stock RTR ESC, Axial's 55t motor, a 2200 mah 3s lipo from MaxAmps, DX3 radio gear and a Hitec 985mg steering servo for the electronics. "thumbsup"

[AeroSynch]

Looks awesome. Do you know how much the chassis kit will be about?

[goldmember]

Highly dissapointed in the body on your rig Bender. :razz:

I know I know the body kit body wasn't ready. :lol:

[shrek]

hey brad, do those center caps come with the rims.:?:

[bodean]

do we know what tires will be on the truck when its released ?

[Dewmerz]

What is the width of the chassis rail to rail?

[Axial]

hey brad, do those center caps come with the rims.:?:

Yes, they come with the wheels and are also available separately. "thumbsup"

http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=141012&highlight=axial+beadlock+wheel

do we know what tires will be on the truck when its released ?

They will include the new Pro-Line 1.9 Flat Iron Tires

What is the width of the chassis rail to rail?

Rail to rail is 80mm (3.15") at the center and 72.5mm (2.85") at the ends. We pinched the ends to add more realism and to allow for shock clearance at full articulation.

Thanks,
Axial

Thanks. That is exactly what I was looking for. Once released I'll be picking one of these up at the LHS.

thank you for the tires, i was just reading about them, groovy groovy"thumbsup":-P

so you tested it, how did it do? Looks like the next rig for me, and curious about stock performance.

[81yoter]

I put my order in last week haha I cant wait. Any videos of the rig when you guys tested it?

[KID]

Wow, this truck looks awesome. I really like the wheels.

[slolx50]

what is the eye-to-eye length of the shocks?

[BENDER]

We didn't shoot any video this past weekend, maybe we'll try this weekend. ;-)

They are 90mm fully extended. "thumbsup"

[MLambert19]

Any idea on a release date yet? I haven't put one on backorder yet... but I probably should. Is Christmas a possibility?

I'm also hoping that all this pre-release $270 pricing drops... I love the looks of this truck. Best looking scale setup since the original Mountaineer/Bruiser...

[dezfan]

I can't wait!

Been itching to build a new scale rig and this looks to be the best platform to base it off of."thumbsup"

[StigAre]

This is a genious scaler.
I so want one, can't wait till it's out in the stores.

Anyone know when this will be released ?

[-WHEELMAN-]

Very nice build to be expected. i cant wait to get my hands on one of these. Im sure we can look forward to seeing many many after market parts in the future.

[81yoter]

I may have missed this, but do these axles come locked or can they be locked?

Come on Axial, cant ya give us a solid release date yet. No rush though;-)

[5150bronco]

I think before christmas.

[goldmember]

I can officially say I have one of these on Preorder. "thumbsup"

[hellsowl]

Will the skid plate from the SCX10 work in the AX10?

[MiddleT]

Does anyone else think that the body shown in the pictures is kinda ugly? They need a more typical scale body like a blazer, yota, 80's chevy, IMO.

[goldmember]

I'm not a hug fan of the body. But then again, i didn't care for the Betty body either on the ax10. I think the one that comes with it is already offered as a body from Pro-line. I think is someone was to paint the body up as a beat up rusty old truck then it would look pretty good though.

[fortysixandtwo]

I may have missed this, but do these axles come locked or can they be locked?

Depending on the kit they come either locked front and rear, or open front and locked rear. But the kit includes a locker to lock the front end too. Either way you are good to go out of the box.

Does anyone else think that the body shown in the pictures is kinda ugly? They need a more typical scale body like a blazer, yota, 80's chevy, IMO.

I am not a huge fan of any of the bodies that come with AX10s or otherwise. I think it would have been cool to get scale bodies like that too but then again you can buy plenty of scale bodies so its not like you can't change it. I am still rocking my stock Scorpion body as my beater body and I plan on getting a scale body as my "cruising" and shelf body.

Yea i second that. A truck body like the one offered on the scx10 can only look cool if its painted to look like its been sitting in a field for the past 40yrs IMO haha. Rusted and beat to death. I plan on puttin a yota body on mine when i get it and make a replica of my old truck...

[Flyin Hawaiian]

My plans tamiya's Toyota tundra. Recovery vehicle , front and rear winches, Flat bed. Tube back half. working lights . Rock lights. rock sliders . custom bumpers front and rear. eritex atlas t-case and hpi gear reduction unit, no tranny. 6 channel radio is a must.

[keala]

i must say this is bada$$!!. the new pro line bronco scaler body would look bada$$ on this rig. i'm going out on a limb here, but pro line and axial must be partners or somethng. all the good stuff seems to be comng out at the same tme.

[speednut]

does anyone know if the hilux body will fit on that frame/chassis ??? :?:

[chris4207]

Am i missing something? Is there another bronco body? or are you talking about 73 bronco that has been out for years?

[keala]

i'm sorry man, already edited my post about the hpi bronco, i meant the new proline ambush(bronco).

Well looks like I recruited me a crawler fan. I told my cousin that I was getting an SCX10. Long story short, with his christmas bonus he's ordering a scorpion rtr friday. Guess I'll have somebody to crawl with, as soon as this thing releases.:)

He hopes to buy the frame and other stuff later on to turn it into a scaler.

[John74]

This had better be good as im selling my CR01 so i can get this and im a tamiya nut :shock:

Any idea of a rough release date for the UK :?:

Rc planet has them in stock 269.99 so much for early 09'

Pretty sure that is just a misprint. They are on the boat at the moment and won't be here for another 2 weeks. I would say mid-January is when they will hit.

Nice link with a lot of info but the instructions for download at the buttom of the page does not seem to work and I did try downloading from two different computers.

Something wrong with the pdf-file?

[swatdoc]

For those of you wondering about alternate scale bodies, I made a few measurements and looked up some stats.

First, as previously mentioned here, wheelbase of the SCX10 is 11.5", with an overall width of 9" (outer tire to outer tire)

OK, I busted out my Mountaineer (Bruiser) body and was pleased to see the wheelbase (center of wheelwell to center of wheelwell) was right at 11.5", and the overall width of the body is 7 1/2" (fender flare to fender flare) - so the stock SCX tires would only stick out about 3/4" on each side. Pretty much perfect I'd say!

Now, I don't have a Tundra (yet!) but searching the Tamiya website, it lists the Tundra as having a 12 1/4" wheelbase (3/4" longer than SCX10). Overall length is listed as 18 1/4", which is very close to the mountaineer body, so I'm guessing the body width will be close also. From what Bender says, and is pretty obvious from looking at the pics, it should be relatively simple to merely purchase slightly longer suspension links to lengthen the SCX10's wheelbase 3/4" to match the Tundra body! Since we're adding longer links, you could also run longer scale shocks for a "lift kit" as well - I plan to anyway.

Now, Axial / Bender, could one of you measure something for me please? I'd like to know the overall width from outer 12mm hex to outer 12mm hex. I know this would be different from the stock Scorpion, because the hexes are narrower on the SCX10. The reason I ask is I'd like to build a truck with your chassis and use the soon-to-be-released scale Blackwell (2 1/2 ton military copy) axles from RC4WD. I plan on using 2.2 Tires/wheels with a Tundra body. RC4WD specs show the Blackwell axles to have an overall width of 8" from hex to hex.

[slolx50]

Please tell me these will be available separately!

[iceman320]

this would make a great chassis to build a 2.2 scaler on also. are those the stock ax-10 axles? or did you guys build new axles that are narrower?

[finishline]

im so glad these are not released yet , cause all i can afford is to read and drull over these posts right now. christmas was expensive:shock:

[81yoter]

Ok its early '09. Where are these things? ;-)

[chris4207]

Any updates as to when these wheels will be available? I NEED them. My rig has no wheels.

[SnoopMaxx]

Patiences it a virtue ;-)





At least that´s what I am telling my self :lol:

[HDMM]

Any word if there will be just a chassis kit available?

[MiddleT]

HDMM: Is this what you r talking about? http://axialracing.com/ftp/ax30525_frame_set.html

[MuddyOval]

Stupid question, maybe- What is the shortest wheelbase that can easily be done? This thing would be perfect for my D90 project, but it's kinda short as far as wheelbase.
Selectable diff locks somewhere in the future for Axial?

[zach]

are there any vids up yet?

I noticed that they used a lipo battery that is shorter than a nimh/nicd stick pack, which allowed them to mount the esc on the battery tray.

Is there a place to mount an esc if a person is using a nimh/nicd stick pack?

I'm probably just not seein it or something.

[MiddleT]

Sorry! I don't mean to post in this thread that much, I'm just excited about this rig. My first scaler! Just pre-ordered it and all elects. from ckrc and towerhobbies.

Everything sounds fine. With the 1.9 tires you could even run a 35t to get some wheelspeed but still crawl without any problems. I am assuming the wolfpack is just a 6 cell pack? haven't heard of it.
