Exactly what I was thinking if it wasn’t 2 separate rigs.

I don’t think we’d see light separation from dual headlights at this scale.

It’d be cool, especially a rally car, but a mog rtr seems to be the shortest leap for axial.

If horizon were to do something on road I’d imagine it’d be as vaterra.

I mean how many different versions of the SCX10 do we need? Another Jeep??
Well I can see a Gladiator body in the future. A rally release would be funny timing since a lot of the locals have picked up rally cars themselves, however they're all Slash 4x4 based which are pretty hard to beat for just bashing/casual racing.

Has axial ever had a truck they had a kit for but not an rtr?
Makes the most sense to me.

Didnt they say there was going to be a "look but dont touch, no pics" exclusive reveal to early registered axialfest peeps?

I would guess this is that.
And still glad I havent pulled the trigger on a new rig yet...

I'll guess this pic is for Horizon's normal thursday release announcement and the super secret Axialfest reveal isn't getting teased.

I doubt axial is teasing something for another product in a different Horizon brand? Wouldn't that be the first time they've done that?

Cell phones and the internet say it won't be a secret for long.


If you look at the higher quality photo that Axial has on Facebook it definitely looks like two trucks side by side and not the Smokey and the Bandit Firebird I saw at first. The truck on the right clearly has a light bar in that photo. Again, checkout the high res photo. Link below.

Besides, when is the last time a teaser, especially from Axial, has been anything that blew us away?

I think teasers are now used to generate hype that the release wouldn't generate on its own.

Crazy to think that maybe the SSD project/announcement that's been teased and the Axial announcement could mean maybe a special edition kit? Like the old Jeep one that came with Holmes and Vanquish parts?

I downloaded it and cranked the brightness, its two trucks with Baja-style light bars.

Absolutely not this. We got our own truck kit coming with new parts.

Nope. I've yet to be excited enough to buy a kit or rtr rig from any brand. If they came up with a comp kit they could blow the doors off the sportsman class with 90% off the shelf parts they already make.
