Axial SCX10 w/Honcho Review
It was only a matter of time before Axial released the SCX-10 as a Ready to Run, or Ready to crawl in their case. Instead of pre-assembling the SCX-10, putting it in a box, and calling it a day, Axial went the extra mile to make it well worth the money. The links get the standard Axial RTR treatment, being plastic instead of aluminum. Don’t let that fool you though; this is a full blown, trail ready scale rig. Axial designed awesome looking front and rear bumpers, as well as side steps that bolt onto the chassis. By the looks of it, they should hold up to lots of abuse. Pro-Line Flatiron tires are standard equipment, mounted on Axial 1.9 beadlock wheels. To complete the scale look, the Axial Durango body (no relation to the Dodge vehicle) has a full roll cage, mounted spare tire, fender flares, and a full set of LED lights. A 27 turn motor provides the power through the proven Axial drivetrain. Full electronics are included, just add batteries! If you are looking to get into scale crawling, but not ready to try building your own rig, check out the Axial SCX-10 RTR.
The latest SCX10™ is inspired by off-road vehicles that are basically part truck and part buggy, nicknamed “truggies”. The new Axial SCX10™ is the kit to have when it comes to having a realistic looking truggy. Scale features such as the steel c-channel ladder frame, plastic molded cage, and plastic front bumper with aluminum skid plates are included in this kit. These are just a few of the features that set this kit apart.
The SCX10™ was designed to resemble its full sized “scale/1:1″ counterparts, yet is still able to perform and crawl like a 2.2 AX10 Scorpion™ competition crawler. Unlike the AX10™ which is purely competition driven, the SCX10™ doesn’t compromise its look for pure performance although the SCX10™ is a more than capable trail rig on or off the trail.
The SCX10™ uses the same ultra durable transmission and axles as the AX10 Scorpion, but is built around a more realistic or “scale” frame. It also runs smaller, more realistic looking wheels and tires. These trucks are designed to have fun with especially if you have a few friends that have scale rigs. Getting a few guys together and going out for a scale trail run is one of the best things you can do if you’re an avid off-roading enthusiast.
