then why have we not seen it yet besides here or has it been a "secret" for that long and now they feel like they can put it out?

If I recall right, Horizon owns Axial now.. So not really a knock off

This is just my opinion.. They basically took what JIA did and put 1 and 1 together and their tooling resources and 'Voila' hello TWIN HAMMERS

It's cool either way, we need these kinda rigs, right
I like it.

Edit:

I was wrong, their owned by Hobbico, so ya, it's a collaboration of everyone's stuff haha

Incorrect. Hobbico owns Axial, not Horizon.

I don't believe there are any active Horizon team guys now. They cut there crawling team free. I had heard word of the truck from one of their team racers in 2011.
