Sweet....it sounds like a good rig to give the scx10s a run for the money. Wow Interco ss out of the box!

and CMS ready from the factory! LOVE the tucked tires. and that they still have room for steering like that! rails are much narrower than a SCX. which is a good thing in my book. |

The SCX10 Has been the only kid on the block for some time. the sawback was a kick at the shins.... this is going to be a sucker punch to the face...AXIAL is in trouble now! I like it...I will finally get to build my sheriff's blazer! Last edited by lappdogg; 08-07-2014 at 08:00 AM. | |

This whole thing really looks like Vaterra listened to what the scaler community has been asking for. I love how it's a kit with nice option parts first | |

i think the sawback didnt get a fair shake in that comparison because its a leafer and comes with the inherit limits, that said this new truck has a LOT of the usual mods done.. adjustable wheelbase is a biggie. now the biggest thing about this, WHEN WILL IT GET TO STORES?!? the yeti shipping debacle is setting this up for vaterra to take a strong run at the champ. if they set a date to get it, and actually get it out, then i think the yeti is gonna take a back seat for the big seller of the 3rd quarter.

WOW! Love it! Lots of great features.....CMS, 3-link with pan hard, adjustable wheel base........I definitely need to pick one up! I foresee FSL sliders and stainless link sets for Vaterra being added to the R2j line up! |

Yep, I'm going to get one of these once it comes out! On a side note, the grill might fit a clod; much better than the 4x4x4 badging! |

I promised the fiance' i wasnt buying anymore rc's until after our wedding......guess thats not gonna happen. The rig looks absolutely amazing!!! I love axial,but its nice to see another company come out with some competition for the scx.maybe they made the chassis adjustable for us AND THEM for when they come out with different bodies.......MAYBE |
