I do not really expect Axial to come out with an entirely new scaler platform for a while. They seem to use the successful platforms for many years. They could at least upgrade a few parts from the factory to be on par with their competitors. We upgrade most parts on Axials because we pretty much have to. That makes it harder for some of us to justify buying an Axial when you think about how much more you are going to have to spend to get it to the quality of a stock TRX-4, Ascender, or even Redcat at this point. I know it is rare that I recommend an Axial to a newbie for that very reason. MUCH more bang for your buck with other manufacturers. | |

I just realized Horizon seems to be killing all of the Axial kits except the SCX10 II. Since they have taken over the Bomber and Yeti kits have been killed, but they have released the Raw Builder's Kit and this Chunimog. SCX10 II kits must sell a whole lot more than the rest or something...

Yeah, 2.2s are not very common around here. 1.9 is FAR more popular.

Thanks jato. I was hoping for a few rail changes. But im not disappointed. This kit should be the hottest thing since the first tf2! This "mog" only needs a couple of changes to be C1 ready. I'm ditching my yota for one of these. I'm a sucker for sub 12 inch wheelbase rigs. | |

Went to my LHS to get some paint to finish up my TRX4 Sport Kit. I couldn't help myself...came away with a pre-order receipt for the UMG10, because kit...

| Re: A new Axial thing, not the last new thing but another new thing. You went to your LHS to preorder the UMG10 which, by the way, does NOT stand for Unimog and picked up paint as a side mission. |

No, I really did go to the LHS to get paint to finish up the TRX4 Sport kit (quickest way to get paint). The UMG10 was definitely a planned side-mission though. Had to wait for them to enter it into the computer to be purchased. | |

Why is it priced lower than the Cherokee kit? Looks like it’s got better stuff.

My take on it... I love caged back-halfs and new tires. Otherwise, Meh (with a capital M!). I do love Unimogs but this ain't one - I could deal with swapping in an aftermarket grille & headlights, but there are other things off about the body. The worst thing about someone releasing "nearly-there" bodies is that it tends to prevent others from releasing more accurate ones in the future. I felt that way about the Pro-line FJ40... and now I add this sorta-Moggie to the list. If it was accurate, it'd be worth throwing SSD portals underneath and building it up - but as it is now, I could see picking up the tires and maybe the cage for something else. |
