To say that we have REALLY been wanting to get our hands on the new Cross RC FR4 Demon RTR would be an understatement. First impressions out of the box, wow.. that suspension!

Have you been thinking about picking up the new Axial Racing UMG10 but want to see what comes in the box before you get into it?
