You could get it at or under 4lbs I bet. But there is a point of deminishing returns there.

Hey baby B i want more pics!!!!!!!!

paystin · 05-10-2010, 11:34 AM

Nice job Brandon and the rest of the Axial team

norcallump · 05-10-2010, 11:35 AM

sooooo, will this displace a lot of bergs and bully's? Think I might be getting my first moa rig...

wrightcs77 · 05-10-2010, 11:35 AM

Not sure how effective cutting brakes will be. I tested them on a shafty 4 years ago and could turn sharper with just plain dig. There was not enough weight/traction with one rear tire trying to hold the rig. I suppose it could help in some wedge situations, but I don't see it helping too much for turning tighter.

4xFord · 05-10-2010, 11:37 AM

Do want. Axial guys, when will they be available???

mann0mann · 05-10-2010, 11:38 AM

Availability?

BEELZEBOB · 05-10-2010, 11:39 AM

When will these ship to vendors?

I have heard 2 weeks to 2 months.

and how much?

I have heard as low as $289 on the boards, and $460 from Hobby clown for the kit.

Duuuuuuuude · 05-10-2010, 11:42 AM

So many cool new rigs...so little money.

Nice job guys!

Cutting brakes are not just used to turn sharper. I'll say it now that cutting brakes will change the comp scene.

Cool, I hope you are right. Will be interesting to see them in action.

Anyone else notice how wide the upper links are at the chassis? The rears are spaced out more than the fronts, too.

where is the rest

X2!!!

Think about a ledge where one wheel is being pulled under a crack or into a hole, but dig wont pull you up. You may think to yourself man I wish I could just drive three wheels not just two or four.

Welcome to cut brakes!

wrightcs77 · 05-10-2010, 11:46 AM

Also, the rear diff looks different than the front diff, probably due to the cutting brakes.

Harley · 05-10-2010, 11:48 AM

I can't wait to retire the Bergs for a product that is supported by a manufacture that is involved in the crawling scene!

stubs179 · 05-10-2010, 11:49 AM

yeah-- the center housing is wider-- on the rear-- must have an extra set of gears/splined collars or something in there-- crazy shiut!

CreepyCrawl · 05-10-2010, 11:53 AM

Most impressive...can't wait to build one

The only thing I can see in the pics that concerns me is the small turnbuckle style steering links.

They appear that they might fail under extreme load, possibly pulling out from the rod ends; I'm picturing the early AX10 days with the rear lock outs failing.

I'm sure that the Team drivers put this rig through the ringer though, so my concern is probably null.
