Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s edition of Everybody’s Scalin’! Since Axialfest I have had a ton of emails and messages asking about our Axial Racing Blue SCX10 III roof rack, so I Figured along with posting a couple links to the articles, I’d follow that by the run video from Axialfest 2020, and that should make for some [...]
Now that the dust has settled literally and figuratively of Axialfest Badlands and I am no longer in a zombie like state due to the medication post-surgery, let us go over the event! I left the house early Thursday morning, for me it is about a two-hour ride and luckily Brian Already had the booth set up and ready to rock. [...]
AxialFest Badlands is a week away and the Big Squid RC Bash Crew is hard at work getting ready for the event. As for me I have been going through all our Axial rigs one by one and giving them some TLC. Now for most of the Events Big Squid attends there are no rules on what kind of rigs [...]
The man, the myth, the legend, that is right I am talking about Cubby. The reality of not being able to enjoy a weekly Cub report or Ask Cubby is hard to imagine. I myself am a glass is half full type of person so rather than dwell on how much Cubby will be missed I say focus on how [...]
Project Gettin’ Dressed for AxialFest was an interesting one. The one part I thought we would have issues with on the Axial SCX10iii was a great fit with no hassles at all. I am talking about the RC4WD Roof rack, which is made for the first Gen SCX10 Jeep. If you are thinking about picking up the Metal Roof Rack [...]
Let’s be honest, most of us have seen the SCX10 III RTR coming out at some point, but we had no idea when. In my best Action movie Trailer voice over “THIS SUMMER, AXIAL WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD!” Ok maybe not the world but you get where I am going with that. After Axial’s release frenzy last year, we [...]
Over the last month or so we have been doing a lot of testing with our Axial Racing SCX10 III. The kit performs well if assembled correctly. Do not try to blame Axial because you stripped a screw out or forgot a bearing in the transmission, that’s called builder error. I will admit, I have had my fair share of [...]
Last weekend I had time to mount the Pitbull RC Braven Bloodaxe 1.55 tires on the RC4WD 4Runner. When chosen to drive 1.55 rigs you must remember its night and day in comparison to the standard 1.9 rigs. What a 1.9 rig can maneuver over with ease, a 1.55 rig will have to work harder at the same obstacle given [...]
Normally Memorial Day weekend I hold the Juicebox Off-Road Park Summer opener. And like all the other events I had to push it back to, well I have no idea. On a positive note the postponement has freed up my time to start the Tamiya King Hauler we received from Remote Control Hobbies – Orlando, FL. When I opened the King [...]
With the help of a good neighbor I was able to get all 7 yards of dirt I had delivered for Juicebox Off-Road Park moved from my driveway to the back yard. The original plan was to move it all one-yard cart at a time. I moved two carts full, and just that little bit was a nightmare. The dirt [...]
Now we’re talking, RC4WD has just anounced two updated versions of the Gelande II. The Gelande G2 platform is a great one to play around with, the Farm Truck has a G2 LWB chassis and despite the looks of the rig it performs well. The new Gelande II has had more of a cosmetic makeover with two new licensed Range Rover [...]
What’s going on all you cool scale and scalers, ok that doesn’t really translate as well as I thought it would, but I am willing to bet you can guess what I have been watching on Netflix. I went deeper down the Tiger King Hole and have started watching his YouTube channel that has days and days of entertainment, if [...]
When it comes to painting a lexan body it can be hit or miss for me. The Proline Dodge Ramcharger was the last lexan body I painted; overall I think it tuned out good for a few reasons. First off, the main body is only one color, doing one solid color is a lot easier then doing a two tone. [...]
Hello everybody, over the last week in between test runs of the new Axial SCX10iii I was pulling out some of my rigs that haven’t been ran in while. One was the Axial Can-Am Yeti Jr., last summer the ESC took a dump after the Can-Am was submerged for a long period of time. Not really wanting to spend a [...]
This next Fan Spotlight comes from a ScalerFab Team driver Ant Petrone. Ant is a very talented builder and has a love for Fords. It’s not every day I get to see the Fan Spotlights in person, so Ant and I took advantage of the opportunity and took his work truck out on the trials of USTE2020 for a private [...]
