Hang up and Drive

I'm hoping the beer virus doesn't delay delivery, but it's more important that everybody is safe.

Hmmm... minor goof - which is it?

Horizon's page: The S30 compound Nitto Trail Grappler tires included with the SCX10™ III Jeep® JL Wrangler kit are taller and wider (4.74 x 1.7), providing more ground clearance and more grip in the variety of terrain that you will find while you're off-roading.

Axial's page: The R35 compound Nitto Trail Grappler tires included with the SCX10™ III Jeep® JL Wrangler kit are taller and wider (4.74 x 1.7), providing more ground clearance and more grip in the variety of terrain that you will find while you’re off-roading.

Also - in spite of what SBG stated, Axial claims ya still get all three hat options included - a military style helmet, ball cap, and cowboy hat.

The amount of hard plastic body detail add-on parts is frankly bonkers... fuel cap, hood latches, hood vents, wiper cowl, door handles, RED feakin' taillights(!)

Kit 370, your lectronics(i know no E) 40 HW esc, depending on your choice of a brushed motor,priceless! Like any other rtr. Still a good price.

We'll buy extra receivers(or some have extras)we'll use are existing remotes. Still a good price. Plastic better,portals that new tranny(of some sort). Well worth the price in my opinion. Another cool innovation for an RC toy truck.

Ok yeah I admit, I was pretty impressed by the tailights too haha
Wait is that good or bad?

Great idea to mold them outta red translucent plastic to save everyone a step and make them look pretty darn good, to boot...

Little details, adding up.

I still have never had a Jeep.

(got the Creep body awaiting mods, but that's as close as it gets!)

One other thing - someone was asking if the receiver box was included, IIRC(?)

"The sealed receiver box can be removed to give you more space for the electronics of your choice."

[Shinchu]

I still really like how vaterra gave us a fuel cell to hide electronics in. Still one of my favorite.
I guess SSD did it with the trail king too.

If I got one of these, it would be a ways out as I have other things in mind I would like to do first. But if/when I get an scx10 III, that jeep body and portals are first to go.
Other than those purely personal preference issues aside, I think they did a fantastic job.
Adjustable wheelbase frame, killer shock towers, dig and/or 2 speed if you want...
All they need is remote lockable diffs and an optional IFS and they pretty much have a full house!

Really loving it. Wouldn't mind adding one to the collection but I told myself no more trucks for awhile. I like the roll cage in it. Wonder how many versions of the 3 they will. If we get isolated than just mayne I'll have to get one lol.

I think $370 is fair given the detail they put into the body (Which honestly I won’t use) and the options built into the truck. Plus you still get to pick your electronics package instead of having to trash everything most people don’t want.

I'd rather wait for a builders kit. I don't want to spend the extra money for a body I wouldn't use. Then it would be an okay.

Builder's kits are usually one of the last things to be released if they ever come out so I'm guessing you're going to be waiting a while. An RTR or 5 will most likely come first.

Someone will buy the stock body for a good chunk of change. Either that or wait a year lol.

[JatoTheRipper]

Funny little "Easter egg" I found.

At this link it's called a JL: https://www.horizonhobby.com/axi03007




At this link it's called a JLU which matches the Axial website: https://www.horizonhobby.com/1-10-sc...d-kit-axi03007

I'm getting old so I'm patient LoL. And honestly it's not that much better than anything else so it's not like I need it. I have tried to sell bodies before with other rigs but everyone interested thinks they can get it for cheap and I would rather not deal with that. I'm guessing that body new is going to be well over $100 with all the accessories but everyone will be offering $50 or sending hate messages because I actually want what it's worth which is usually still under new price by quite a bit.

Selling a body online sucks because shipping is crazy expensive for something that large.

[Shinchu]

Send it as media lol
No just kidding dont do that.

But I would sell the body and portals to reduce my cost for the kit.

Haha what an awesome thread title that would be in the classifieds:
"Selling my body so I can afford axles"

[hammergunner2963]

how can it be bearly released yet its already got a price cut?

is that just some lie to make people belive their saving money?

I believe it is. Am I wrong?

These should start shipping to dealers by next week....but with the current Covid-19 issues that could change. Fingers crossed, they start going out next week.

Thanks Rich!

Not wrong. But it is standard, same with 1:1 cars. No one pays MSRP. I think the MAP being lower than the MSRP also helps protect in some coupon situations where MAP is excluded.

Does this also apply to direct preorders?
