That's how they should all be sold. I was shopping aluminum axles for my SCX6. Plug and play, not a bunch of R&D, or more appropriately trial-and-error. I wish they'd offer aluminum options also.

That’s the secret of marketing. Put out a product that gets a lot of attention and sales then put out the upgrades. If I was a betting man when the Pro was gonna get released I bet there was an abundance of AR45 straight axles in the warehouse. Lol

@@offroad1911 I don’t think it was a marketing thing at all to bring the rig to market with straight axles, they built and designed the SCX10 Pro around an employee’s scale comp rig that ran straight axles. Coming out with the portal axles as an option part was an answer to make the Scx10 Pro compete better with Vanquish’s VRD Carbon pro rig that comes with portal axles.

Nice video. Thanks for sharing bro. 👍✌️ Both options straight or portal should have been sold from the start imo but where is the marketing in that.. right?.. Tricky move from Axial but hey thats how marketing works..

Thanks for the great vid! Do you have numbers of how these compare to the ”normal” AR45P axle dimensions? Caster especially. Eyeballing the set of ”normals” I have designated to a comp build and they seem to have abt. 10deg caster. (Edit. Is it 12deg?) The new ones seem tempting😄

I was so disappointed in the axial option parts for this rig. Mainly the aluminum motor mount. The fit is awful and introduced a TON of end play to my spur gear shaft, and the bearing pockets are just a hair too large. I had to shim the heck out of the shaft to take up the end play and so far I haven’t had a problem with the bearings spinning in the mount. The stock plastic motor mount fit better with no silly shimming for proper fit.

I started writing for RC Car Action in 1992 and was hired as a full-time Editor in 1994. I left RCCA for the opportunity to start RC Driver as the Editor-in-Chief. I was at the helm until the publisher closed the print magazine. This year is officially 30 years in full-time RC media.

These are really nice but overpriced by about $60. For $160 bones I would've at least expected SS portal and diff covers not chintzy plastic.
@chevyon37s 2 ай бұрын
I don’t think they’re over priced at all. Heck a vanquish F10 portal axle with an all plastic housing is $140 for a front and $120 for a rear. And even to buy some AR44 straight axles is going to be $155 for a set. Building a set of Capra axles or TRX-4 axles is going to cost you $150 or more. I think they strategically priced them right on the low end of what a set of portal axles costs to put together for a truck.
