| artr came in today
I just got it from fedex after ordering it from rcp crawler two days ago. Looks pretty cool since this is the first axial I have seen in person. All the hardware appears to be steel and the servo plate is alum. I don't know if thats any different from the other ax10's. The body is pretty cool too. I like how it boatsides into the chassis. Had to get another one for my tlt/slingshot. |

The orange does look much better and it is great to see some different pics! Let us know how it performs "out of the box"

I have him leaning towards a sidewinder and either tcs bm9 or something from holmes like the crawlmaster or revolver. He want a fairly cheap radio, possibly a futaba fm 2 channel. And he wants to use a stick pack in the stock location. We'll see.... | |

Congrats man. I ordered mine about 3 weeks ago from my lhs and haven't heard anything yet as to when it will be in. After seeing yours I'm even more anxious now.

That thing looks great, I may have to pick one up just because of the orange pre-assembled links, haha. |

I just checked RPP and they now have one fewer in stock than they did an hour ago. I was looking to get another kit truck for my daughter but when you count in the upgrades that the ARTR has it was really easy to justify the cost difference. |

I knew it. Based on this thread I had told my lhs that they were released, and guess what came in today. I can't wait to get off work and go pick it up. I hope they have the JR DS8711 too. Could be crawling by tomorrow evening.
