| Re: More Axial rumors.... SCX6?
I saw Harley's video on this truck, its size is impressive. In spite of having owned a 1:1 Jeep, I am not a "Jeep Guy", so detailing is impressive, but my overall impression is "meh...". My interest lies in the chassis and drive train, and what custom projects they can be used for. Is 1/6 scale the next "big" thing, who knows? Axial jump-started the crawler scene with the AX-10, the might do it again with 1/6 scale. I think the price point will keep it from being overly popular; and, I think Axial has to break into new territory. Axial has lost a lot of its market share in 1/10 scale to Element, Traxxas and Red Cat, do someone their at Horizon is thinking this is the next logical step. LMHO... |

RCDriver said the 1/7th Losi Super Rock Rey tires are about the same size. side by side they were about 1/2 smaller. Ryft are 6 inch tires so a bit smaller and 2.2s But the SRR or BAJA Ray should have similar sizes until spec wheels are coming out from PL or JCon. Last edited by Timmahh; 10-15-2021 at 07:40 PM. | |

Saw the SCX6 in-person today, at NorCal Hobbies (San Jose, CA). ~ More peace, love, and kindness would make the world a much better place |

| Re: More Axial rumors.... SCX6? says the track width was 14 3/4 inches was it? Axles would be about 14 1/4 inches hex to hex considering track width is center of tire. so just a bit less for the axle width at the outside of the hex.

The fact it is 1/6th at 1100 is pretty on par considering the .3s are 550 and about 1/2 the size. bonus we all have a 3s pack or 5 around so no need for 200 in Batts. 2nd opinion. lol | |

True, however as you state, those are gassers, designed to take a beating. Scale, what is that, right? I get economics and product loyality, people will buy the item. A couple hundred less and now you will get the attention of a larger audience, including some of the UDR market and the like. They have number crunchers, yes, and price their products accordingly. All in the value factor, how much are you willing to pay for something. I just don't need one that bad. That said, they obviously see the merit or they wouldn't have invested the capital to make it. Time will tell.

LHSs getting them in-stock for DISPLAY ONLY. I capitalized that last part for today 'complaining' that they've only been able to find them listed for "pre-order", and they want to know what's they can buy one "right now". You can't. But, they are coming. For those who want one "right now", best thing you can do is hey your pre-order in asap. The sooner you do (via an online retailer, or through your LHS), the higher up the list you'll be, and the sooner you'll get yours. My next door neighbor called his pre-order in to our LHS the moment the SCX6 was officially announced...and, he's #4 on the list. ~ More peace, love, and kindness would make the world a much better place |

While cool, I'll wait until there's an aftermarket for it before I spend money on one.

Just checked one out at the hobby shop. Didn't make me want one any more. Wish I could have driven it, but... meh.

I've bought 2 kits in my life and never a new RTR so I won't be buying one of these. I can't see dropping big coin on any rtr type rig including the vs410 that is popular. Starting from axles and building the rest of the rig with whatever parts I choose is far more appealing than owning the same exact rig as the next dude. | |

Then there's the whole "upgrade factor" - sure, anyone can buy an RTR, and then upgrade it...but, with a kit, a person can build it EXACTLY the way they want, including electronics (on top of that, who's too say that upgrading an RTR will be cheaper than going the kit route...for all you know, the kit route could end up being cheaper). Case in point, my X-MAXX. Instead of buying an X-MAXX, and upgrading it, I started with a pre-roller (purchased new from an RC "chop shop"), and installed what I wanted...and, in the end, I probably saved hundreds of dollars. Covering the "building from scratch", I discovered how enjoyable that is when I decided to build my first Class 3 comp rig. Although I 'classified' is as a CAPRA, the only actual Axial CAPRA part was the cage, and the only other 'CAPRA' part was a 3D-printed skid (for an AX10 3-gear trans)...everything else, from the Vanquish AR44 axles & SSD portal knuckles, to the MIP driveshafts & Dlux Dravtech shocks, were all picked by me. As "interesting" as the SCX6 is, I'm not really interested in one...ESPECIALLY an RTR. Even if a kit version were released, I wouldn't want one...but, I'd be MORE than happy to build one for someone (especially that transmission...talk about a piece of art), as long as they bought it. Heck, I might even build it for them 'no charge' (other than a "supplies cost". But, as for owning the SCX6, not interested. The body, alone, I had a heck of a time being back on (the LHS's display unit)...must have taken me a good 5 minutes. That body is a PitA. ~ More peace, love, and kindness would make the world a much better place | |

It appears that anyone who has ever published an RC crawling related youtube video received an SCX 6 for review. For the rest of us, we just have to wait to give them our money.

This thing is undeniably cool, at least for a few weeks. But seriously, I have absolutely no interest in hauling this behemoth to the trails. What a pain in the ass | |

Because I own a real JLU Rubicon, I want one. Highly doubt I will buy one but I wouldnt be mad if Axial sent me one for free. I have 3 subscribers so it seems like a good business move on their part.
