Without a doubt it will be pricey.I'm willing to bet that Cross truggy-thingy will cost A LOT more than any standard SCX10. Very nice though..
edit: it's a Datsun pickup cab. Datsun as a brand was owned/produced by Nissan up until 1984.
I bought my son a Cross RC trailer kit to pull behind his Unimog awhile back. It was my first time holding one of their products. I have to say, I am impressed by the quality.
It's an RC. Modern CMS is great, but servos still work much better when on the axle. Performance guys want servo on axle. I don't see a problem with it at all.
This body is much better looking than the Turd Finder 2 Marlin.
But it is Cross-RC so it's probably going to be overpriced.
I don't know the cost difference between manufacturing in China versus Taiwan, but I don't see it being that much different. If it is a big cost savings to manufacture in China then do it, drop the price of the SCX10 II and profit. There's no denying that as competition heats up, and it has ramped up drastically over the last few years, Axial will have to do things to stay on top.
I can't wait to see this body. Hopefully it's a different year than the Ascender and RC4WD versions. Finally not another freaking Jeep!

Axial you just got your ars kicked. Wonder if it is as solidly build as good as it looks.
Boing! "thumbsup"
"thumbsup"
Yep "thumbsup"
Yep, "thumbsup"
CrossRC Demon SG-4, oh snap that's hawt! "thumbsup" No doubt over-priced though.
Edit; body is very similar to Cross-RC PG4.

It was listed as a 1969 I believe, which means a first gen, which means awesome! I'm very excited to see it. I am not very excited for the tease-fest leading up to it though.
I heard that it has been in a video that was released a while ago. I'm guessing in the background or something? The source is credible.
It was a conversation. No idea who the video belonged to or how long ago it was released unfortunately. Maybe someone who lives on YouTube can do it.
Comparatively priced, agreed. Comparative value? Maybe not so much. When you look at what $410 buys you in an SCX10 versus what it buys you in the TRX, that’s where a pretty big divide exists. I’m sure you’re tired of that comparison as well, if I was Axial, I sure would be.

I'm impressed by the amount of steering that it has for having dogbones. The links also dont appear to be rubber like the old plastic links.

They look beefier like what comes on the Wraiths. Maybe RPM could step up with their proprietary indestructible plastic and make links.

Big brown truck dropped mine off yesterday. Mine hasn't made it off the bench yet. Seems the 5 yo taiwanese kid putting it together put a side diff bearing in for an inner front pinion bearing. NO BUENO. 1.5 mm to narrow and 2 mm too big of a hole leads to a badly ratcheting mesh. Rear is ok.
Now waiting on customer service to get back to me.... has the Axial number always sent me to Great Planes? I seem to remember calling axial directly years ago. Kind of bummed i can't get to talk to anyone from axial that knows the vehicles... the great planes guy didn't seem to even know about the new Honcho.

You used to be able to call Axial directly. That was 2 years ago last time I had to. Of course I haven’t bought an RTR since then so I’m not dealing with any assembly line issues. Good thing you caught that before running the truck. A lot of people don’t give it the good once over before throwing in a 3s and ripping it up.

I bought a barely used RTR Yeti cheap because it kept burning up rear end gears. Opened the rear end to replace the gears and troubleshoot and the bolts seemed short. Pulled the manual up online and they were the wrong bolts for the bearing caps. Way short and all four were the same. Could’ve been the PO but I doubt it. I figured it came that way and 3s was too much for the short bolts. Replaced them and it’s been as solid as a Yeti can be since still on 3s.
