    Axial scx10ii 1969 Chevvy Blazer

    Product_ax90058_scx10_2_blazer_950x550
    Classic looks. Open-air top. Aggressive stance. These are just some of the characteristics that describe the gorgeous 1969 Chevrolet Blazer, a rig that’s as comfortable climbing to the top of a mountain as it is cruising on the beach. 

    But this Blazer sports more than just a macho look. Additional items like chrome-coated grille, mirrors and door handles are included. Officially licensed Chassis Unlimited front and rear tube bumpers are mounted tight to the body for maximum clearance and a set of offroad lights (with LEDs) shine some light when the action goes dark. 

    To keep the Blazer rolling along in even the toughest situations, we’ve mounted it on our rugged SCX10™ II chassis. High-clearance AR44 high-pinion axles, a chassis mounted servo (CMS), re-designed AX10™ transmission case and tough steel suspension links are just a few of the parts that make the Blazer a beast on any terrain.

    AR44 SINGLE PIECE AXLE
    The pinion gear is 6mm above center, this allows for added ground clearance and better driveshaft angles. The high pinion design has an increased surface contact for increased durability. AR44 front and rear axles feature a single-piece design with molded truss for extreme durability. Integrated C-hubs and lockouts offer optimized performance as well as improved ground clearance. Helical, metal cut internal gears, and high-quality bearings are all standard equipment.

    Ar44_axle_5_950
    • High pinion gears for added ground clearance & better driveshaft angles
    • The high pinion design allows increased gear surface contact for increased durability
    • Larger load bearings used around the gear set to reduce flex and create a stronger drivetrain
    • AR44 front and rear axles feature a single-piece design with molded truss for extreme durability.
    • 1-piece all-metal locker front and rear
    • Universal joint axles allow up to 45 degrees of steering and provide smoother action for a higher performing, efficient drivetrain.
    • Small pumpkin for increased clearance and a more realistic, scale look
    • Bolt on link mounts
    • Knuckle carriers and straight axle adapters have a better mounting system with 10-degree increment adjustments 
    • Optimized gear ratio – 3.75 compared to 2.92 previously. This reduces torque twist which is typically seen with other small pumpkin axle designs

    Scx10_2_frame_rails_950

    STEEL C-CHANNEL FRAME RAIL CHASSIS
    The realistic high strength c-channel chassis frame is made of durable steel with cross bracing for reinforcement and is held together with all hex hardware. Realistic looking frame and cross braces improve chassis rigidity (torsional stiffness). Realistic shock hoops with multiple shock mounting positions allows you to adjust your suspension for maximum performance. The simplified design makes maintenance and assembly quick and easy. The contoured skid plate significantly reduces hang-ups on terrain. Compared to the previous design, additional holes have been added to the rear portion of the frame rails for making wheelbase adjustments.

    1.9 METHOD HOLE WHEELS
    The MR307 Hole is a fresh take on the classic hole-wheel design that dominated early off road racing. Just like the Double Standard and NV, the Hole features a simulated beadlock ring by way of a strategically placed under-cut on the outer lip of the wheel. Clean, simple and METHOD STRONG! These officially licensed METHOD Hole Wheels are replicated in true form for durability and a clean line look, molded in a magnesium grey color with a satin chrome beadlock rim.

     

    1.9 FALKEN WILD PEAK M/T TIRE (S30)
    The WildPeak All Terrain tire has amazing traction on many surfaces, even with its rather conservative pattern. This fact alone has had the entire industry on the edge of their seats waiting to see what the Falken rubber will be able to do with a more aggressive pattern.

    • Officially licensed by Falken Tire
    • 119.0mm (4.7”) Tall, 48mm (1.9”) Wide
    • S30 compound

    AR44™ UNIVERSAL AXLE SET
    Universal joint axles allow up to 45 degrees of steering and provide smoother action for a higher performing, efficient drivetrain.

    • Up to 45 degrees of steering
    • Smooth action for an efficient drivetrain
    • Compact yet durable design
    • Hardened steel construction

     

    ALL STEEL SUSPENSION LINKS
    Strong steel links for both suspension and steering. Large M4 rod ends for durability.

    CHASSIS MOUNTED SERVO (CMS)
    Scale matters, but so does geometry! In pursuit of scale looks, we’ve moved the servo off the top of the axle and onto the chassis, just as a full size truck has its steering box located on the frame. But with this seemingly simple action comes a complexity of suspension hurdles to overcome - one of which is bump steer. The undesirable steering is caused by bumps interacting with improper length or angle of suspension and steering links. We made it our mission to design the front suspension in such a way that it eliminates or comes as close as possible to zero bump steer, to help give you the best driving experience possible.

    • Scale looks with proper suspension geometry
    • Steel links included w/ M4 rod ends
    • Adjustable servo mounting system allows for a wide range of servos to be used
    • Properly designed suspension for nearly zero bump steer

     

    ADJUSTABLE COILOVER SHOCKS
    The threaded shock bodies hold a single coilover spring. They are oil filled and allow you to tune the dampening rate.

    • All new shock towers with body mounts built in
    • The body mounting system covers a larger range of positions and is a much more solid mount than previous
    • No additional spacer needed when mounting shocks

     
    Transmission_470px
    Dual_slipper_clutch_470

    AX10™ TRANSMISSION
    The ultra compact transmission allows for a wide range of gearing choices. The overall ratio can be adjusted using different pinion and spur gear choices allowing super high speed or competition level crawling speed. The new transmission housing design still retains the basic function of the original transmission but in a new more scale looking case.

    • Final drive ratio (FDR) 42.00 – Original SCX10 was 33.06
    • All metal internal gears!
    • Scale looks – silver color looks like cast aluminum
    • Better mounting points at the base of the transmission – no more stripped screws!

     

    DUAL SLIPPER CLUTCH
    Our dual slipper design uses a pad on each side of the spur gear for added surface area. This allows for more precise tuning and holding power. The spur gear features strong, 32 pitch gearing for high torque applications.

    • Slipper design uses a pad on each side of the spur gear for added surface contact area
    • More precise tuning and holding power
    • Strong 32P gear pitch for high torque applications

    WB8 HD WILDBOAR™ DRIVESHAFTS
    WB8 HD Wildboar™ front and rear driveshafts feature an updated design with a larger diameter cross pin (2x11mm) along with an M4 Screw Shaft (2mm hex drive) for added strength. A center splined slider floats between each end and features added material which reduces flex and fatigue.

    • 3-piece driveshaft with strengthened slider-floater tube
    • Increased surface at the connection between the ball joints and output shaft tubes
    • 2x11mm cross pin adds 25% more surface area providing more strength for the ball joint

    I looked at the front of the body and I thought 'Nice looking truck'.

     

    I looked at the back of the body and I thought 'Oh, they've put a cage on it'.

     

    Shame, I'm in the market for another SCX10, but it won't be this one.

    I started this hobby Jan 2020 with Redcat Gen7 Sport to my son, then TRX-4 TRAXX for myself.
    Then this old model was on sale for £290 and wanted to see if they are any good.

    I'm not a fan of american cars but this is pretty good looking box stock. The tyres and wheels were horrible so I swapped them and added a lexan spare tyre.

    I didn't like the stock front bumper so I swapped it to Axial '67 C10 front bumper that was a direct fit.

    The cage is removable so I painted it and added little white tape to sides. These were on £290 sale on various sites through the summer so I bought another one,

    I'm going to make the other body different looking during the winter. Good idea of removing or making the cage smaller, I have to try it to the new build.
    The windshield is removable too so I have to see how that would look, the driver has goggles so why would he need a windshield...

     

    The RTR comes with steel links and gears, universal joints in front, 3ch radio, 12" wheelbase.

    It comes with leds on bumper that I swapped to front grille light buckets that were led ready.
    Included was three drivers heads, eight light buckets with lenses, mounting hardware to put a spare tyre to back inside the cage, and other scale stuff.

    Here's a little footage of how it looks now. https://youtu.be/Cu_5V2hbapI
