The friendly folks over at ST Racing Concepts have announced new aluminum hop-up parts for the Axial SCX10. First up are new heavy duty front & rear bumper mounts. These are CNC machined from aluminum and features a longer side bracket which offers better clearance for the steering servo during suspension compression. Available colors are black, gun metal, green and silver. [...]
Looking for another way to add scale realism to your Axial scale machine? The crew over at Gear Head RC have a new receiver hitch that fits Axial Poison Spyder rear bumpers and the stock bumper on the Axial SCX10JK. The receiver hitch is machined right here in the good old USA from 6061-T6 aluminum and then anodized black for that [...]
Seeing as how I’m the new scale guy ’round these parts, I guess I should take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Doug and I have a scale r/c addiction! I run the Show-Me Scalers club here in St. Louis, MO, and most weekends you can find us out on the trail. In addition to being a trail/crawling [...]
THE Axial Deadbolt AX10 RTR ReviewAxial has been kicking some major butt, their products are solid, their scale looks turn heads, and they have brought rc crawling (and scaling) from obscurity. Their latest release, the Deadbolt AX10, isn’t radically new from them, rather it’s a truck with smart updates with a cool looking off road body. We’ve been putting our [...]
No, I did not watch the F1 race this weekend from India. Why? Because I watched qualifying and after Seb put it on pole (again, offfaaahhh), I decided I had better uses for my time. I can’t wait for 2014 when a decent amount of rule changes just might shake up the running order. It seems a lot of people were [...]

The Deadbolt uses the ever popular AX10 platform and has a body that is a bit reminiscent of an old Bronco II. Some of its features and specifications include- * Three battery configurations * [...]
For a long time THE Cub Reporter and I have been wanting to buy some tanks, hop them up, and do some serious bashing. The tanks had to be durable, go at least 20 mph, and be able to huck big ramps. Needless to say, we didn’t find any that would work for our demands. What do we do when we [...]
We recently posted a teaser about a scale paint project we were working on. We received a envelope, and inside a parts tree that said Choose Your Head Wisely. We stuck our best model painter on the project and here are the results. Keep in mind these heads aren’t much bigger than a US Quarter. The skeleton came out amazing! [...]
Changing out the suspension links on your Axial SCX10 or Wraith is pretty common. Changing over to aluminum links makes your truck stronger and look a whole lot better. Our friends over at STRC/St Racing Concepts make some very trick aluminum suspension links for your Axial. Made from CNC machined 6mm & 7mm high quality aluminum, the STRC links are extra [...]

Axial Exo I’m getting the Axial Exo Terra and reading multiple solutions to its jumping nose dive but not sure what to believe. BSRC has reviewed Axial (aluminum shocks much better than stock) and STRC shocks (shocks better than Axial but not enough threading) and it seems the Exo is a BSRC bashing favorite. I was thinking of using Proline shocks [...]
