Eh, I'd prefer the normal brackets on non jeeps. Looks better imo.

but these will be cool. light bars are a huge improvement to the VP versions.
I still like the VP ones more. Plus haven't seen these in person yet or lit up.

You need a whole lot more quadratech to fit the first part of my post.


There are a couple noobies on a local board that seriously have every trinket possible on their jk's. Both covered in stickers with whatever name they chose for the rig across both sides of the hood. They have asked questions about suspension and axles then turned around and told me my advice is irrelevant since I don't own a jk.

I think they did a good job on the look of the Rigid bar. The only thing that I'm sure is going to be a bummer is that you are going to have the hot spot look when they are lit up. You'll be able to see there are 6 individual LED's. However, it's still a great job at the look and the little dually's are spot on (no pun).

Exactly my thoughs, I will get the duallys for sure. Im wondering how durable these will be with rollovers also even the most of the time they should probably be below roof line.

Unfortunatley I still think the next release after this will be a RTR Falken G6. Another Jeep.

At least those tires look cool.

Meh. I like JKs a lot, but I'm with the rest of the community. The JK theme is becoming very stale and just doesn't capture my eye or make me think, "Oh, wow! I've got to go out and buy one right now!".

The only things that I would like to look into more are the tires, which look SOOOO much better than the 2.2s and the Dually Pods. I think they would look great on our custom rigs.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the running gear itself, because it is simple to produce and replace/improve. Not to mention the 30 billion companies that support the SCX10 platform. Unfortunately, the Jeep thing has over stayed its welcome.

However, for Axial's outlook on this new re-re-re-release, they will create a TON of new profit, increased sales, new customers and new product possibilities for other vendors.

There's 8 LEDs in the big light bar. Doesn't seem like the brightest compared to a VP or MadDog RC light bar, but still useable. I'll definitely buy a set of those tires though.

Axials video is out here: AX90035 SCX10

Look forward into getting some of these parts for my Trail Ranger! Definitely want those Krawlers, if they are anywhere near the height of my SX XLs, and the light bars. The aluminum ones available are too expensive for my blood, so hopefully this will be a good way for people (including me) to get into the lightbar look for less investment!

Still has plastic steering links. They pimp it out with cool lights that are probably only going to run on 7.4v anyway, rather than some quality aluminum links and true bead locks. Me thinks it's all a marketing game, and less on a quality product anymore.

I don't have any SCX10, so for me it is either the AX90028 or the AX90035.

Here is a question about color of the bodies. Are the RTR bodies actually molded in the color they come in? Or are they all clear and just painted Silver or White before they are put together?
