I'm not exactly sure what there is to improve on. It works great the way it is. The only "Improvement" would be to start adding aluminum hop ups which would drive price up and tbh I don't want aluminum hop ups. I want to be able to choose which brand of hop ups I get.

If there wasnt room to improve there wouldnt be a ton of mods and aftermarket parts. I agree it's nice to be able to choose aluminum hop ups and wouldnt want Axial to build a bulletproof rig from the factory. Stock CMS, better steering, lower COG transmission, better electronics mounting, different bodies, better bumper and slider designs, 2-speed trans, theres always room to improve on the next platform. I will say the Axial is the best stock platform out there bar none.

I still think an Ultra-4 rock racer IFS buggy would be awesome, give the Twin Hammers some competition.

Junk the axle housings and simply make a narrowed ar60. The junk housings housings are my number one complaint with scx's.

A more scale housing thats less bulky would be nice. Narrowed scaled AR60's would be tits.

how bout a unicycle with a jeep sticker on the seat!! did i say that outloud.

[allanon1965]

I was wondering the same thing dawg...

[gforce]

Argh seriously?? I just saw this today.

First, I have to say it's a nice looking truck. I like it better than the first Rubicon RTR. If I was looking for my first SCX10 or a RTR scaler I'd buy it! The tires look better than the Trepadors and I like the led bar. But already owning a couple of Axial trucks, one being an SCX10 I'm not interested in buying one obviously. At this point I prefer kits and was hoping Axial came out with something all new. Like a comp crawler or anything different. But I understand the scale market is hot and out doing other markets so they are capitalizing on that. Axial basically owns the market besides a few other models out there so why not keep producing these ever so tried and true popular trucks.

You must be out of the loop.

How about a 3rd gen hilux, or even a 2nd gen? How about someone makes a good Dodge Ram body again? A scout? A zuki? The accessories people want like a CMS are avilable in the aftermarket, but it never hurts to have more options.

That is true, if you wanted IFS that's a lot more work and most won't have the tools or materials to give it a try. I'd bet you they are working on something over there at Axial that is different from the latest offerings.

BTW I wasn't directing any of my comment at you or anyone specifically, I still see lots of custom builds on here including your own.

Don't feel like you offended me, no offense taken This is a discussion ripe with opinions, which not everyone will agree with.

Yes, an Axial version of Twin Hammers that is not a cheap replace everything pos would be nice.

Yes and tighten up the sloppy tolerances in the transmission, shafts, gears and bearings fit are an embarassment sooo sloppy. Front stub shafts fit to bearings and knuckles is supah sloppy too.

Improve upon current vehicles AND build us a good quality KOH type of rig with ifs front solid axle rear!

[alpine4x4]

If Axial built a 1.9 rock racer to compete with the twin hammers, maybe we could get a 1.9 ultra-4 class going for scale comps

I cannot believe this thread is still going. If your not gonna buy it then move on.
