Conquering Trails with the Axial SCX10 III Base Camp: Review & Run

Рет қаралды 47,069

Күн бұрын

So fun getting to trail test the Axial SCX10 III 1/10th 4WD Base Camp! This is the new ready to run (RTR) trail truck from Axial Adventures (new name too!) and I think it fits very nicely in the Santa Cruz mountains! It takes some of the features we know and love from the SCX10 III platform (like portal axles) but streamlines it and includes a new LCXU single-speed transmission.
In this video, we unbox it for the first time and trail test it!

Conformal coating goes on parts you don't want electricity to flow across. For this reason, it goes on the circuit board. What you did instead was to effectively make the prongs less conductive to the plugs. It works because you scraped off enough coating to make a contact when you plugged in your esc & servo.

Great overview. I think you got the point of this truck. It’s a good starter and you can make it what you want. Your additions already look great. Thanks so much for showing the comparison to your other SCX10 rigs. The Base Camp might not be a licensed body but I think it looks fine. And that colour suits you!

Conformal coating (the nail polish like water proofing) should be applied to the entire circuit board by unscrewing it and taking the receiver apart and coat both sides of the board.

great review! I've seen a lot of people move the front bumper out to address tire clearance but my backyard course was giving me approach angle issues with that, so I took a dremel to the back edge of the bumper so I could pull it all the way back in, and did the same with the rear, and it's getting hung up a lot less.

Following up a year later! Still own and love my RTR Basecamp but now they just released a kit version! And of course I pre-ordered one! I have many rigs, some relative ones I’ll mention, JLU 10.3 kit, Basecamp RTR, VS410, TRX4 and the SCX PRO. The SCX PRO is the best performing (of course) but for me I think the Basecamp is the best performing “regular” scale crawler. The Basecamp has better balance, COG and approach angles AND better electronics. This is just my personal opinion and experience. I also love that the new Basecamp kit comes with straight axles and DIG, I specifically wanted those from the start. So excited! 😁

Hey Hayley, I haven’t seen a post from you in a while. I’m watching in the hospital, but been working lots weekdays and weekends for a while so maybe I just missed your posts. I’m not able to fly my planes for a few months. Had surgery to repair and fuse 5 cervical vertebrates. Riding motocross, enduro, in my younger years and 1 crash back in 1999 on my street bike caused major arthritis. If I’d known what it would cause I probably would have been less crazy on motorcycles. I still love them but haven’t ridden since 1999. Keep all those awesome videos coming. I’ll have lots of time for KZfaq at the moment.

Axial/Horizon needed this. I have four Horizon RCs but I run Traxxas batteries in all of them because I STARTED with the economical Traxxas TRX-4 Sport, battery, and battery charger in 2019. If Axial can win the new buyer as Traxxas won me three years ago that's a sh*tload of Smart Batteries and chargers Horizon can potentially sell.

@scottishrc7857 2 жыл бұрын

I seen a few of my subscribers, including Axial had uploaded videos on this new rig all at the same time, but i decided to come here first. Great review, and it looks like a great rival for another popular, very similar looking truck :D. With that conformal coating though. Did you just apply it over the prongs on the receiver? It only shows that part in the video. But for it to be water proof, you need to remove the PCB board from the plastic case, then paint a generous coating directly to the PCB board. I do this with mines / BECs etc then hang them overnight to set properly, then refit the board back into the receiver case. For the pins, i use some dielectric silicone based grease. It's electric friendly grease and won't harm plastics or rubbers, so it doubles as my grease for shock o rings as well.

A quarter inch on either side to add to the width---including on the wheel arches, might have been ideal, ---on the trail, it would facilitate easier flexing of the tires into the wheel wells, it (upward fkexing of rollers into wheel wells), does look good on rc rigs, ---couldn't there have been a truck bed? ---that would make it a keep sake.
