Taken Over

[Super]

I can't wait to see what some of you guys do with this one!

[sixshooterstang]

I'm disappointed. No kit version? Thats the only way Id buy it because I prefer my own electronics and I already have all vehicles on one radio system. That and with scale vehicles adding your personal touch is important to me and its hard to do that with an RTR with no aftermarket at the moment

The rear axle construction looks a bit flimsy. Other than that...

Why didn't Axial make the EXO like this. If I hadn't just bought a Wraith I would be tempted.

Looking forward to learning more about it...

There isn't a center diff.
Front diff is an open 4 gear diff and looks to be sealed so you can tune it with fluid. Rear comes locked, but the case looks like it could use the front diff internals if you wanted it open. probably could use the rear locker up front for full lock.

yes, yes, after a quick search on thee old interwebs, I got that. Seems like everything they are doing has "scale" in mind. Which is awesome. Great to see brand new stuff.

Fr/rr are interchangable from parts explosion, so locked or open, however you want.

This just shows our little piece of the RC market is continuing to grow and is still attracting new manufacturers.

Front and rear are not interchangeable according to them having different part numbers and a different width.

i just realized this. for some reason i had 2.2 on my brain. smaller track + 1.9 = hellz yeah. definatly now WAY better than the axial rEVO
