Wow a real test that found some faults. Thank you. The testers that got it for free stated nothing about the lacking drag brake, kinda slow steering or needing heavier shock oil. I bought on yesterday. I have not tested other than making sure it worked. A friend of mine looked it. He spotted right away too thin shock oil. Tires are too stiff for where we crawl at.
@ConditionZero763 ай бұрын
Drag brake like most every rtr crawler can easily be adjusted with a program card. Shock oil is 30-40wt industry standard for every rtr crawler, regardless make. It would be impossible for axial to perfectly tune each individual vehicle for each and every person who purchases one for there specific geographic area and state. Everything mentioned is called tuning and that's up to the end user. Those aren't problems, and obviously axial not gonna install a 3 hundred dollar servo in a 5 hun dollar rtr 👍🏼

After running mine today i would agree with most opinions the the stock esc is lacking. I am not big on the new body pin setup. It worked pretty good on the rocks and had decent side hill and climb for a high CG. Rolled it a couple of times but i was expecting it to roll more. Looks so friggin good i can deal with its short comings.

The switch is easy to relocate as it is just clipped to the side of the rx/esc. Even with a program card the drag brake sucks, I switch them to brushless as soon as I can.

It looks nice but for the price of the vanquish with none all in one electronics and a radio that you only need to add a couple servos to hit 500 you have a far better Rx for the same price. I just feel like the vanquish products RTRs should force everybody else to lower their prices a little bit at the very least. Axial and rather buy a TRX4 or a vanquish RTR then the axial offerings with the prices they have

Excellent review, as in all your videos! I'm new to this hobby, and maybe it's a silly question, but is there an optional kit or way to add differentials with remote locking?

No, remote locking diffs are so in involved with servos cand cable routing that they have to be designed in to the chassis.

I understand, it's a shame. Is there any chassis that is 4x4 with completely unlocked differentials? Both on the front and rear axle as well as a center differential? Thank you very much for your kindness, I really appreciate it.@@RCReviewChannel

RC ‘s are an interesting hobby like you I come form over 20 years of being a hard core mountain biker the thing that stands out is the RC companies but out new models but is nothing more then a new body with the same old chassis image cycling or any kind of motor sports where every year there is no actual performance improvements just new colors & body styles it would be a joke & not acceptable to keep charging more or even the the same amount. But we let it happen companies know that if they just give us something pretty we will buy it so it’s our bad. This is the same chassis as the Bronco 2 SCX just with a new body of course. And yes I’m the sucker because I’m sure I’ll get one why because I love the look so it has nothing to do with performance which is nuts🧐

Buongiorno. Scrivo per chiedere un consiglio sulla batteria per la Axial SCX10 III Jeep CJ-7. Sul sito c’è scritto “Needed to Complete: 2-3S LiPo Battery with EC3 or IC3 connector”. Sul sito ci sono 2 batterie consigliate. Su "2S Completion Guide" c'è la "Spektrum Smart G2 Hardcase LiPo Battery IC3 5000mAh 7.4V 2S 50C". Su "3S Completion Guide" c'è la "Spektrum Smart G2 Hardcase LiPo Battery IC3 5000mAh 11.1V 3S 30C". - Praticamente nell’utilizzo cosa cambia tra "7.4V" e "11.1V"? - Praticamente nell’utilizzo cosa cambia tra "2S" e "3S"? - Praticamente nell’utilizzo cosa cambia tra "30C" e "50C" e "100C"? - Come si fa a capire quale batteria è più indicata? - Quale batteria consigliate per la Axial SCX10 III Jeep CJ-7?

Years ago, model railroads had same problem, whiny electric motor noise! Oh no, my mistake, its all EV now But I thought Toyota 1 : 1 got idea right Rav-4 ca. Y2K EV, NiMH battery, you make it 4x4. Dang it, my mistake again, that was 25 years ago! We can be friends if we put aside our issues, but I am going to start my Kyosho 1/8 4WD 3.5CC (.21 cu in) O.S. R/C buggy that is 25 years old, and EAT your track for lunch. That is promise, you know you kids are kinda wierd.
