Axial AX24 - NEW Chassis and 4WS!

Axial AX24 - NEW Chassis and 4WS! - Is it worth it?

Жыл бұрын

After a few years of massive popularity, Axial is finally dropping a new 24th scale platform that still uses some familiar parts. This is a performance first approach to the 24th scale world. Adding 4WS right out of the box and the new TVP style chassis totally changes what this truck is like.

I’m glad to see Axial continuing this line of vehicles. Cheap crawler for those of us who’s space is at a premium and something to get the youngins, or those new to the hobby, into it without breaking the bank. Thanks for the video Josh🤘🏻🤙

These 1/24 cars are great for kids. This throttle response on scx24 has really helped get my 4 year old more comfortable compared to my 1/10 stuff

I will be getting one of these once it hits my local hobby shop. I like some of the options this comes with, but it will need aftermarket parts like any rc needs.

@forrestcrabbe Жыл бұрын

i like it. i kinda wish maybe it had come with a bigger motor but there are some good small motor options on the market now. it looks like it might be hard to fit a bigger motor in there anyways. maybe we'll get an 18th or 24th scale wraith spawn later in the year \m/ y'all have a badass day \m/

Pretty cool little truck. Makes me wish I'd have kept my ax10. It had some serious torque twist, but was still a fun truck. Great review 👍👍

@Macgyver46 Жыл бұрын

My first scx24 was turned into a custom rig within a month. This rig is what I wanted out of my 24th scale crawler. A motor and shock upgrade would have been all that's needed. I wonder if the axial jeep gladiator body could be mounted on that frame.

Kind of on both sides of the fence on this one. I do like the throwback design and the price isn't bad for it. I also am kind of over the whole small scale stuff as it looks cool but I prefer the larger scale stuff. I think for the money I will buy the TRX4M as it will be better suited for where I drive.

This would look amazing on a trailer behind one of the more 'scale' small scale trucks like the TRX-4M or one of the FMS rigs. Of course something I find funny on the box they take a dig at traxxas for using bushings, while this thing comes with friction shocks, which haven't been good since ever. Certainly looks like a fun little rig though! And with 3 inches of articulation it has more than one of my 1:10 trail trucks!

@CurlyTheCat Жыл бұрын

This is pretty close to the micro Capra I wanted, and the one that was predicted in the SNU comments. The issue I see comes from the TVP chassis, which are prohibited from most 10th scale comp formats, other than that, I’d slap a different body on it, a micro brushless system, and it’d easily meet Class 2 requirements.

@dumpsterstu4474 Жыл бұрын

What I'm trying to get around is the spectrum badging the controller is a bit big as well. They probably scrambled this together after seeing the turning radius of the TRX4M.

Will the spektrum run a separate esc like the V1 electronics did and the V2 should have? Would make upgrading it a lot cheaper with a esc and motor swap along with some good servos and a separate bec to run them both.

@jeffoh5787 Жыл бұрын

Imo, if you buy or have bought an scx24, you're going to mod it and 4 wheel steering is something that's pretty easily achievable. The only difference to me is, do you want a scale looking rig, or not? If yes, then scx24, if no, ax24. I'll stick with my modded scx24 that's pretty much this truck except easier to work on.
