The Axial family would like to invite you and your family to come camping with us June 22-24th, 2012 in the Tahoe National Forest for AXIALFEST 2012!
After being hard up for days looking for details about the new Axial EXO Terra Buggy we finally sent out our undercover correspondent to get us the details we’ve all been waiting for. Armed with a badge into the 2011 SEMA Show and his trusty tape measure he was promptly kicked out of the first booth he found that had the EXO Terra Buggy displayed, seems they didn’t want to reveal the specs to us. Not wanting to give up he tried the next booth and was able to get us the info we have been craving.
Axial has knocked it out of the park with this new release, the Axial EXO Terra Buggy. Just days ago we published an article eluding to what we thought this vehicle might be. As it turns out we weren’t too far off the mark. With the SEMA show kicking off today Axial has teamed up with a number of companies to help release the new EXO Terra Buggy.
Tonight I got home from work and running errands and sat down in front of my computer to do some catching up on RCC. I did my nightly rounds on all the sites, then like I always do I headed over to the Axial blog to see if maybe Brad has built something new or added any new tech. To my surprise I see a new article about Racers Only Motorsports Designs
Check out RCC’s coverage of the 2011 Holmes Hobbies RCCrawler Nationals here. I will be updating this post with a lot more pictures and videos of the event.
The day has finally come, thats right the Axial Wraith has officially been announced in Kit form. Word has been spreading over the forum board, that the Wraith kit was coming, but no one knew exactly when or just what it would come with. Now the time has come, Axial has released all the facts about this long sot after rock racer.
Vanquish products is at it again, this time making a full line of parts for the new Axial Wraith.
Tom (Racer4life) has been with RC4WD for years, I met him at Scale Nationals this year and knew it was time to learn a little bit more about him and RC4WD. If you haven’t heard of RC4WD before you are missing out. They make the coolest scale products around and some pretty good comp parts as well.
Team TedRockz is at it again, they have several great giveaways going on right now on the forum.
I had a chance to catch up with Run2Jeepn of JP Customs to ask him a few questions about his business.
Dinky R/C has made a trailer and hitch set up that is a direct bolt on for the SCX10 chassis. The hitch bolts to two existing holes on the back of the SCX10 chassis. The hitch is welded steel and has incredibly scale looks.
RcBro (William) has been a member of rccrawler.com for a long time, I used this opportunity to check in with him and get the scoop on RCBros.com.
Now that I have had a week to really put the Wraith through its paces and take it apart and look things over a bit more closely, I thought it would be cool to do a part II to my original review.
I have had a lot of PM’s and emails asking me to cover the following topics;
Wednesday, May 18, 2011 we all woke to a frosty Yellowstone Park, cold enough that I stayed bundled in my sleeping bag for a few more hours holding my bladder back the entire time. We planned for another full day in the park and hit more of the sites trying to capture some of the “beautiful” morning light before the midday sun and flocks of tourists got on the roads.
I met Dave (@tw!ll) at scale nationals he was a stand up guy with some cool products for the scale crowd. I managed to get some information about him and his business, this is what he had to say.
2008, Patrick I tried to make it to Scale Nationals, we ended up breaking down outside of Rawlins, Wyoming and sitting on the roadside for 8 hours until a friend came and picked us up. I tried to get my Jeep fixed in time to make it, but I just couldn’t get it done on time. Fast forward to 2011, planning for the trip to Montana began earlier in the year. We planned to get Patrick (666), Danielle (Patrick’s girlfriend) Tim (tmyjeeper) and myself to split gas and some of the costs, as time went on we realized 4 people plus all our stuff wouldn’t fit into my little Subaru. Patrick and Danielle decided that renting a car and following Tim and I would work out best for everyone.
New for 2011, Tekin releases the all new HD “Heavy Duty” T series brushed motors. Available in the same 35, 45 and 55 turn options as before with an upgraded neodymium magnet to get you wherever you want to go with authority. New looks, better performance and the same great Tekin quality you know and trust! Read the rest of this entry »
Before I begin my review, let me begin by explaining why I feel that I can give an honest review of the rig, even though it’s still unavailable to the public.
Firstly, I had the honor of attending the Montana Scale Nationals this past weekend, where PinchFlat and I judged courses for both Street class and Spec. Being that we were the first to offer our help with Spec, we requested to judge the Wraith course, and couldn’t have been happier when we were told that we would in fact be the judges for that course. As luck would have it, we also had the opportunity to setup the courses that these spec rigs would be running on. Read the rest of this entry »
Muddauber7 (Matt) of Dinky R/C has been making chassis’, styrene parts and everything in between for the rock crawling community. He is without a doubt one of the most versatile vendors on rccrawler.com.
For all those scale enthusiasts out there, RC4WD has released a 1.55 and 2.2 version of their Mickey Thompson Baja Claw TTC tire. The 1.9 version of the tire was released a few months ago. After the 1.9 version came out, the community wanted more. Some images released at a trade show a short time ago gave us a glimpse of these newer versions of the tire, but finally they are out!
