Axial West Coast Championship Qualifier, Round 2

Axial West Coast Championship Qualifier, Round 2

By Bender on March 2, 2010

Axial hosted it’s second west coast qualifier this past weekend (Feb. 27th) in Farmington, New Mexico. Farmington is notorious in the 1:1 off-road world for having some of the best rock crawling anywhere in the US. Numerous 1:1 competitions have been held there since the birth of rock crawling as well. This was my first trip to Farmington and needless to say the terrain didn’t disappoint. Massive sandstone rock formations were everywhere at the Brown Springs comp site, which had everyone excited to get this comp underway. R/C rock crawlers that live in the Farmington area are truly blessed with some awesome terrain. Here’s a breakdown of how the competition, and the trip, went for us.

I’ve had a lot of questions recently asking what AX10 hop-up parts work with the SCX10 line of trail trucks. So, I sat down and tried about every hop-up part available for the AX10 on one of our SCX10 kits just to see what worked and what didn’t. Here’s a breakdown of what parts crossover.

By Bender on January 6, 2010

Well, I finally got a chance to build myself one of our new Honcho kits (part #AX90014). I’ve only got a couple battery packs through it so far and it is a blast. I haven’t added any weight to the wheels at all and it pretty much goes wherever I point the front tires. I’m [...]

4 Door Hi-Lux Build on an SCX10

By Bender on December 14, 2009

Mike Lohmann is one of the top scale R/C builders on RCCrawler.com. He has built numerous scale rigs over the years that would fool most people into thinking it is the real thing. Mike has decided to share his latest build with us here on Axial’s Blog. This will be an ongoing build with many installations over the next few months detailing exactly how he goes about this particular custom build from electronics used to body work tips and interior/exterior details etc. Watch as Mike grafts 2 Hi-Lux bodies into one custom 4 door build using a lot of glue, styrene, and patience.
