Axial Ram Power Wagon SCX10

Matt Higgins | Aug 27, 2014 | Comments 1

It appears Axial is listening to its customers (and the scale rock crawling community as a whole) and will be dishing out, what we’re guessing, will an SCX10 based on a full-size pick-up, the Ram Power Wagon. It also appears you be able to modify the body by removing the bed and replacing it with an optional flat bed with cage (same truggy-style multi-piece cage and Lexan bed floor as used with the Honcho).
We’re torn on which variant we like better, but we’re sold on the idea of the big Ram truck. Scale truck pulls, here we come! Considering how complicated licensing is for RC companies, it makes sense that a Ram truck was chosen considering Axial’s relationship with the Jeep family.
Looking closely makes us highly suspect this will be a RTR version, but Axial typically makes sure buyers have options, so we likewise suspect some sort of kit version will eventually come out. We’re not waiting.

Looks pretty cool. Not a huge fan of dodges but I like it

[paperbag]

I saw that, but unless I missed something, didn't see how it was something that came out of Axial. Still, I like the idea of an updated Trail Honcho... not a big fan of how the hood pins jab into the windshield, though.

Looks 'kit' to me. I can't tell if those are wires, or light playing tricks with the body in the first picture.

[Ty@Tekin]

It's RTR, plastic links, plastic shocks, etc...

[pvo_srt4]

body looks good ill wait till someone is parting it out on ebay and pick it up

[novarider]

Wonder if it will be out soon? I'm about to get a rtr and would definitely choose this over any other Scx10 rtr.

[ima_redneck]

Just waiting on the body to become available, no need to buy the whole truck.

[Jus]

Pointless. If they'd just sell a basic kit and let people choose their own body....

It looks kind of half assed... no bumpers... Reverting back to ripsaws and original glue on wheels.. Original Dingo sliders that don't even fit the body properly (same with 4dr Jeep while we're at it)

Good for Dodge fans I guess... Or other people who might be looking for their 1st truck and want someething *new*.

[ReMiXeDg]

Looks impressive about time they move on from jeep.. I've yet to purchase a axial rig I most likely will go with this model because it certainly stands out from other rigs.

Nice, but I'd prefer an extracab so the front doesn't hang over the front of frame rails. My favorite SCX bodies are the Toyota pickup cab with flatbed and cage....and the Deadbolt! I like the Jeeps too, just not as much.

I like Ripsaws, but hate glue on wheels.

[Ty@Tekin]

I love how anytime Axial puts anything out, the tears start flowing on RCC. First it's too many Jeeps, now the Dodge is no good, the SCX10 design is "old" (why update what already works so well?) blah blah blah.

There's this thing called, put whatever body on it you want! I think it's cool they are giving another two body options with the Dodge.

[Wade]

This was their original design but they decided on the dodge.....

Seems legit.

[realsickclown]

A full size drop bed would be nice to see too .

[R/CMaxximus5.0]

This could be just a new body release from Pro-Line, or possibly Axial...
Maybe it is a RTR, still the same SCX-10 though... either way a new body option is always good We need more info...

[zanthrax]

I just want that bed for my honcho.

[cotyhamlett]

Agreed. I like it too. They just need a nice Chevy 4 door truck as well.

[pvo_srt4]

looks like its out

Axial Racing - SCX10

Wheelbase:12.25" (311mm) hell yeah cant wait for the sharks to start selling the body on Ebay
