Last week we received a few pictures from a reader of what looked like a possible rock racer coming from Axial. This week we received this picture. Maybe it’s a mud racer? That or this guy has never heard of a car wash! Rumor mill has it this thing may pop up in a very limited release around mid [...]
Looking to add some strength, bling, and better heat transfer to your XR10 Crawler? Axial Racing’s new heavy duty gear plate has your covered. Precision machined from billet aluminum, the plate is 4mm thick at the motor mount, and designed to dissipate heat quickly and efficiently for better perfomance and all-day crawling. It even comes with three [...]
A reader just sent in a link to a few images of what may be a Axial rock racer in the near future! Now were talking! I always enjoyed having the ‘fastest’ rock crawler when I was at events.. while others were climbing, I was jumping! I’m excited to see where this goes. We don’t have a lot of [...]
We would like to start off by thanking Jeff and Axial for their time, and for being the first in one of our new segments where we talk to people at the top of the fastest moving companies in RC. These interviews are not just with the company PR guys, we go as high up the food chain as possible, [...]
Axial is expanding it’s RR line of budget nitro engines for bashers and weekend warriors. Their new .21RR-1 engine is Axial’s first .21 size engine for 1/8 scale buggies and totally fricken awesome 1/10 scale cars and trucks. But being for bashers doesn’t mean that they took any shortcuts in it’s design. It’s got that fancy ABC construction, a 7-port [...]
Axial really wants the budget bashers to open up their wallets today. Their new, low-cost, 2.4, 2-channel radio is about as bare bones as you can get. The AX-2 features throttle and steering trims, plus servo reversing. And… a wheel for steering… and a trigger for throttle control… oh and there’s an on/off switch too! Ok, so it doesn’t really have [...]
Axial has partnered up with Castle Creations to develop a new ESC for the budget minded rock crawlers in the crowd. The AE-2 is a fairly simple and straight-forward ESC that comes from the factory programmed with drag brake and zero delay forward/reverse. In addition, it is also programmable with Castle’s CastleLink programmer, has a preprogrammed cutoff for 2s LiPos, [...]
Axial‘s flagship crawler, the XR10, is a tough truck. But even the toughest trucks can be improved, and Axial is aware of that. There’s now a bunch of new options to further bullet-proof your ride. Axial promises that their new lightweight, CNC machined gears will not only be more durable, but also more efficient, the complete set will reduce the [...]
Good friend of Big Squid RC, Rodney Wills (seen here in a blurry shot with yours truly) has left HPI Racing and headed off to Axial! Rodney had been with HPI for a while, and I think it’s an interesting move in the RC industry. It reminds me of another recent Axial addition. It’s great to see [...]

Need to get that XR10 a little higher? This new Axial XR10 Stage 3 Aluminum Hi-Clearance Links Kit will do just that! It’s a replacement kit for the upper and lower links on the stock XR10 and adds more clearance to the chassis. If the places you crawl have you rubbing your belly, this kit might be what you [...]
The XR10 is on the Axial carbon fiber express this month! Axial now has a Carbon Fiber Battery Plate to go along with their electronics plate and other carbon fiber goodies! This plate is height adjustable with all the hardware needed to lower your batter as low as possible! That’s a good thing! I’m gonna have to start a [...]

Recently we mentioned that we got our hands on a XR10 kit from Axial. Bill and I recently started the build, and I thought I’d share a few pics from the work shop. We are going to be using the Team Tekin FX-R Rock Crawling System with two 45T motors and the [...]
