PraetoR Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 OK... yeah, that's awesome! Truly looks and behaves like the real thing! I have never owned an Axial before... and will hold off! Just, Axial, PLEASE don't offer a Captain's Curse... my bank account wouldn't take it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 If the platform sells, I am sure they will do other chassis colours and shells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady 2215 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Wonder if they will do a purple 30th anniversary edition. Like my traxxas one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 .... and charge $300 for the pleasure of owning the purple 30th edition - there is / was a body on Ebay (more bashing!!) for stupid money! My eldest has one on his Stampede, with headlamps and 'eyes'. Best thing about this is the 'extras', like the glow in the dark helmet - not many think of that!! I do like it - it's been a long time coming. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yeti bodies by Proline look like they might work. As it uses the AR60, there's going to be lots of things to play with straight away. 4x4x4 anyone?

Oh How Original Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hmmm, now this looks nice... A bit of a shame about the price. But when you considering the new SCX10 II is even more and that's not really 'new' the price looks a little better. Very cool looking thing this and let's be honest, who doesn't like triple backflips! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 My only gripe is an easily fixed one, it's seriously lacking in the wheel department, the new proline wheels and tyres should look spot on especially with a bit of painting too.

cookie666uk Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 i was ready to hate this as soon as i saw "axial" (dont ask me why i just cant seem to like any of their products) but having just watched the video i actually really like this! it looks so scale when jumping and bouncing about! i really hope they release a few other branded trucks so i can buy several and build a monster jam course for me and the boy!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMaxxDave Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Love the chassis. Not keen on the wheels or body (not a Grave Digger fan) but looks very good. Sent from my Galaxy S5 Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 1/10 with 1/14 scale body, or all 1/14 ... I would love one RC manufacturer to finally produce an MT that was REALLY the scale they say it is. Multiply the tyre width and diameter by 10 and you get 66" outer diameter, 25" inner diameter and 43" wide. A drove of pigs has just flown by ... !! Al.

atom3624 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 If you follow some of his YT threads, it doesn't need much imagination to realise this must be well into '4 figures' as a build, and over halfway. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 judging by the detail involved im not surprised. does it run a conley v8? sounds that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Looks great and sounds great but that engine looks to be a very expensive paper weight. Theres just no torque wont even un-compress the front shocks let alone try and lift the front wheels. Soon get boring tootling up and down the front garden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Yes, I believe it was a Conley - several of the (very) many videos concentrate on this, 'though judging by some of the parts on it, it must weigh the same as an old Mini!! I think a bit of judicious throttle was being used - or not - to avoid a potential few k's worth of damage. Might be a slight tuning issue as well. No gold tops at this scale please!! Al.

atom3624 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 That is a real pity. Part of the MJ / Alternative Race Group spectacle IS THE NOISE! I saw Monster Jam in Cardiff a few years back - couldn't for the life of me imagine it with 'flying milkfloats' - EUCH - what a horrible dream - wake me up, PLEASE!! YES, they have the power, and a one-off looks pretty impressive as 'the future', but we all go to MJ for the spectacle which definitely includes NOISE! Something the size of that 1/4 GD electric powered I can imagine all plastic, with doors, for rich toddlers to ride around in. Back to the OP, I do like it, and an anodised alloy spaceframe would be nice. Quite how tough it is once people start upping the power is the next thing of course. Al.
