Something new from Axial, the Axial EXO Terra Buggy! AX90015

[Agama]

Hm, I was a little worried about how this rig is going to hold up. Kind of tired of replacing all the parts on my Wraith... I'm thinking 1/8th scale buggy might be the way to go.

That would be nice. I bought the Savage XS and it was almost 2 months before the LHS could get replacement parts for it.

This is very true and Sucks. As I was told ours were shipping yesterday and used that info to tell customers who had asked. Now I look like an Ass thanks to Axial.

Not your fault, plain & simple. If they can't understand that, well then, they're the ass.

Thats sounds to me like very POOR PLANNING on Axial's part........

[ndi_guy]

Man, I hope QC did a better job with the parts bags and instructions then they did on my SCX10 Dingo "builders kit". Somebody should be fired at Axial if they allow stuff out like that again.

You guys still kick a$$ in my book. I ordered both my Wraiths from you guys, some VP stuff and RC4WD housings, ect. Everytime I receive my order I'm always amazed at how fast I get it and always correct.

Hell in 2 weeks i'll have enuff for the new HPI Buggy we'll see who get my money first

I think they should release now so we can break the parts or not. Then wait for replacements or aftermarket products can be designed. Anyways I'll have to wait, not happy but will look at this way, it gives me time to get ideas.

[chicklet]

They released the Wraith way before parts were available. The universals are still backordered. So what gives now? They are stateside...why hold them?

Nah Corey, We know who the Ass is... Plenty of reason's to my friend.

Maybe Axial is waiting for VP to release all the parts you will have to replace.

just because the company is in the states doesn't mean the manufacturing is. The pic above looks like a sea container.

I know they are produced in China...the Exo's are here. Those were pictures of Axial's shipment they posted on their flickr. They are holding them for replacement parts....we are just wondering what's the real reason and what gives?

[WICKEDWOLFRC]

My point is they are probably waiting on another slow boat from china or the arrived shipment failed QC. once they opened the boxes from that container the exo's could have failed QC. 75% of the product we get from China fails our QC or goes months passed the stated lead time.

Good point...lol never thought of QC issues. There are no electronics so if it is QC...that suxs big time.
