See Part 2 of the build HERE

Wanted to share the latest updates to my Formula Offroad build.  When I first built this rig using AX10 axles the Wraith™ had just hit the market.  At the time I thought it would be great to have those new AR60 axles found in the Wraith™ underneath my Formula [...]

Brandon’s SCX10 Unimog Build

Mercedes Unimogs
I have a fascination with Unimogs, these seemingly unstable and over sized trucks.  The places they can go and terrain they are capable of traversing is incredible.  Not to mention how cool they look when you see one out on the trail or even the streets.
I had the opportunity to pick up one of [...]

Brandon’s Axial Formula Offroad Build: Part 1

Brandon’s Axial Formula Offroad Build: Part 1

The latest buzz around Axial has come about after Bender introduced us to Formula Offroad. I was aware of this sport and always enjoyed watching the 1:1 videos, but it never really hit me to build a RC replica of one before. I am a huge fan of Scale RC, so anything I can get my hands on and modify to closely resemble the real thing just adds to the fun factor. The looks of the 1:1 formula offroad vehicles are a bit odd compared to what we normally see offroad in the states, but you can tell that they are built purely with performance in mind.

Here’s an inside look at the XR10 set-ups that Brandon, Scott and myself run. These set-up sheets are great for documenting changes to your set-up, and the effects those changes have on your rig’s performance.
