    Axial scx10ii deadbolt rtr

    Product_ax90066_scx10_2_deadbolt_950x550
    Time to rule the rocks with some attitude! We’ve combined the rugged good looks of the Deadbolt™ with the exceptional handling of the trail-ready SCX10™ II chassis, giving you a rig that’s got both charisma and competence. The Deadbolt™ body is now coated with an olive drab paint scheme while keeping the original features you’ve come to love about it; narrow stance, bulging hood, realistic driver figure and exterior cage complete with light bar (LED lights sold separately). Finalizing the look is a licensed CRC front bumper and Method Hole wheels wrapped in Nitto Trail Grappler tires. 

    Underneath the muted-green shell sits the SCX10™ II, a reliable chassis that is equipped for extreme trailing - AX10™ transmission, single-piece AR44 axles and WB8 HD Wildboar™ driveshafts. This rig doesn’t just meet the standards for offroading, it defines them.

    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. Metal dogbones, helical cut internal gears and high-quality bearings are all standard equipment. The ring gear/locker is a single-unit piece made of strong sintered metal, and the pinion is CNC cut for durability.

    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
    • 20T metal drive gear, plastic idler gear and plastic lower gear (Optional: upgrade to all metal gears with this gear set: AX31585)
    • Scale looks – silver color looks like cast aluminum
    • Better mounting points at the base of the transmission – no more stripped screws!

    1.9 METHOD HOLE WHEELS
    In an industry that's all about the latest and greatest, while taking advantage of styling trends, sometimes the 'less is more' approach is quite refreshing and the hole wheel offers just that. Clean, simple and METHOD STRONG! These officially licensed METHOD Hole Wheels are replicated in true form for durability and a clean line look.

    • 26mm (1.02") wide
    • 53.9mm (2.12") tall

     

    1.9 NITTO TRAIL GRAPPLER M/T TIRE (S30 COMPOUND)
    The officially licensed Nitto Trail Grappler M/T Tires offer a fantastic blend of off-road performance while still retaining excellent composure for on-road use. They are molded in our durable S30 compound with large blocks that provide excellent bite when the going gets tough!

    • 4.7" x 1.9" (119.4mm x 48.2mm)

    4-LINK REAR SUSPENSION
    The suspension geometry utilizes a 4-Link design for the rear which is optimized to reduce axle steer and torque twist. It also helps with steep off-camber climbs by having the proper amount of anti-squat and roll characteristics.

     

    CHASSIS MOUNTED SERVO
    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. The front suspension design also helps eliminate bump steer as much as possible for the best driving experience.

    • Scale looks with proper suspension geometry
    • Adjustable servo mounting system allows for a wide range of servos to be used
    • Properly designed suspension for nearly zero bump steer

    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
    • Captured cross pin design eliminates older set screw design for more durability/easy maintenance

    As much as I love Axial, it would so much better if they brought out some new body designs,

     

    instead of recycling the old ones.

     

    This is the third one that they have revamped now.

     

    Wouldn't say no to the chassis though ;)

    I guess they realise they have hit the nail on the head and stayed with it.

    Must admit, I like the way my SCX10II drove on the small test I did, way better than a bone stock SCX10 OG.

    Yep, I said the very same thing last year, I will get one eventually, when they sell it with a half reasonable shell.

     

    the Dodge Ram was quite nice (IMO) and bought one of those so probably would again.

     

    also really not a fan of those moulded in link mounts, much rather a separate piece.
