The Gen 8 AXE would have been great to see against them...not the Gen 8 V2...the V2 isn't much of an upgrade over the Gen 8 V1. Gen 8 AXE doesn't need 2 speed trans to compete. The motor technology will overcome needing a low speed crawler gear.

This truck has performed extremely well since release.

Have you heard any buzz about a soon coming Axe Edition V2 of the Redcat Racing Gen 8 Axe Edition? I called them yesterday and inquired about why nobody appears to have any Gen 8 Axe Edition kits. They informed me I can get one from them. When I asked if they're working on a new model of the axe edition, he expressed he can't say yes or no, but he also hinted I may want to wait a little because their might be a V2 coming soon with huge improvements. I tried really hard to get more information on it, but he was only allowed to hunt to the strong possibility of it coming very soon, leaving off by saying to me the Axe Edition is a great RC truck I'll be very happy with, but also stating I'd be very happy with either truck (either being the Axe V1 or the Axe V2). I'm dying to know more. BTW, I also asked if said vehicle was about to be released, would it be more expensive or the same price as the current Axe Edition, and the answer was "The same price".

My top three without knowing the fourth coming content would be Cross RC with portals, axial, then gmade. Sadly even though I really like this Cross RC rig, I would probably go with the Axial purely for the aftermarket support (my only rc is an Ascender K10 so I know how crappy it is with a limited aftermarket pool to purchase from).

For the Gladiator, when you say you can swap the servo from the DIG, to the 2 speed if you want ... does that also mean you will only be in 2nd gear as long as you hold the 3rd channel down? Coz the 3rd channel is a momentary switch ... not switchable. Or is there a setting somewhere that allows you to press the 3rd channel once to select 2nd, and then again, to go back to 1st? I didnt think it would be swappable for the simple fact the 3rd channel is momentary, not a switch?
