Don't even think about saying it... Axial SCX10III JEEP CJ

[@jonathanfletcher97]

As a CJ7 owner myself, this pleases me. As an adult with bills to pay and a borderline crippling RC addiction, this stresses me. Axial did a fantastic job with this one; and an excellent review as always man. 10/10

[@allmightygreat1892]

First step to recovery is identify the problem. As a recovering rc junky i always try to buy USED.

[@Axial32]

I'm definitely going to get this CJ7

[@bongofury3176]

borderline ? guess you've not discovered boats yet then...

[@FlywheelRc]

I could not agree more.

[@pwrofgrayskull]

I wholeheartedly agree man. We’ll all work through this together.

[@timschaar2844]

A lot of people will say it’s just another Jeep but this is the Jeep we wanted in the first place.

[@citizencane3492]

Matt your running vids are so very realistic. You don’t focus on getting through obstacles quickly, you seem to focus on making it look real. Thanks to you sir.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I appreciate that!

[@bud1lite]

Yes,he drives them like we do every time we go out👍🏼

[@lih6372]

Yeah but it's in slow motion...seems to be more flattering of this Axial than it deserves

[@bud1lite]

@@lih6372 it definitely needs more weight down low to stop the bounce and would be much more realistic

Stay tuned!

Can you just stitch all of your crawler "running" videos together for us?! They're just so immersive and well done! I could play it instead of the fireplace channel during holidays 😂

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@Lifeofanrcaddict]

Just make them a "driving" folder that we can just let play. I'd run it in the hobby shop.

​@@Lifeofanrcaddict I was thinking the same thing for our shop. We have an enormous indoor rock crawling course where we host competitions every month. Unreal Rc in Toms River, NJ

[@waynegilchrist3535]

You're running portion was awesome! Thanks for letting us hear the drivetrain and motor whine. Most people throw in this hard hitting music with all these different effects. But you crawled through at real time as if we were standing there with you. This gives me an actual sense of how it is right out of the box!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@FingerstoFight]

I liked the calm music and hearing real sounds too! I mean . . . this is why we do this isn't it? unless the other guys really do just put ear buds in and head bang the whole time.....

[@brandonseals6732]

The driving skill in this video is much more scale (better control).... 👏 bravo... I knew you could drive...

[@2ShoesPhoto]

OMG, I gotta have one!!! It's the only way to survive in that bunker under ground. We also need a 1:24 scale version of this. No one likes a 4 door Jeep, make Stinger Bumpers Cool Again!

[@chucktaylor2772]

This one sparks joy.....

[@scalebuildersguild]

Me too!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

I agree. This one is their best step so far. I really do like it and could say this one doesn’t need “much” to run it as is. I think I’d go with the silver and paint the panels to match to break up that sea of black in the rear.

I was thinking about covering them in aluminum tape so it will show off scrapes well

Great to get her into hobby. Keep a crawler in back of truck. Always ready to explore

Ok this thing looks sick! Want one!

[@ChrisKnowlesTube]

The CJ was the first time I saw jeep in a book about desert crawling and exploring when I was 30 living in the UK. I’ve waited so long for this body and Axial have knocked it out the park.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Nice!

[@walkerncst1]

Stan looks fine in the truck to me! If you went any taller than their head will be above the windshield and roll cage.

Great walk-thru, Matt. Informative and entertaining. Even better for an Axial guy like me. Straight axles too. 👍👍

I had two CJ7s, when I was younger. My green one was my favorite. I will most definitely be purchasing this Jeep. Then I will paint it rattle can green.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Cool!

[@nuge74]

Finally, a great looking CJ7, awesome!

[@MrCaprinut]

I'm not a Jeep guy, but who does not like the CJ7? Must say I love Wagoneers as well (1st gen, not the crap looking later variants) and hope they will do that also in the future. Tamiya 9805615 snap pin looks like a good candidate for those door clips. They are longer and square looking so you will get a better grip. Hope someone will do the Golden Eagle decals for the CJ7. Looks spesially good with white body. The stock wheels looks exaactly like the Golden Eagle wheels. Paint them gold and you are golden, pun intended! Lol.

[@Chico-jm8sl]

Amazing running footage, Matt, definitely something Josh needs to work on when it comes to reviewing products not named Vanquish. You showed what a trail truck should look like on the trail. You didn't run it wide open into boulders to try and brake it and flip it or immediately start tearing it apart to install $ hundreds of dollars worth of Vanquish parts, transmissions and wheels on an Axial rtr. Just a Beautiful video of an Axial Truck showing off what Axial put together. I love a good authentic unbiased review 👍🏼

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! You just made my day!

[@mattabe86]

Not a Jeep guy, but this rig is awesome! Well done Axial

I love this! Takes me back to my old Jeeping days!

[@CornholioMcGeeRC]

Yes Matt you do have giant thumbs. I believe you’ve said in the past that you can one hand drive a traxxas controller and that’s crazy. Next Wednesday night show run a poll to see how many can do that and I bet it’s not many! Besides all that another great video!!! 👍

Not a performance rig for sure, but in the running video, the movement of the vehicle looks very realistic. I can practically feel the rocker landing on the rocks in a few of those shots.

[@caledoncrawlersrc2216]

OMG.. agree with you it is the best one yet 😍😍

[@jerryvolpini7987]

A GREAT looking truck and that body is ABSOLUTELY amazing! I would normally pick the grey/silver but that red looks amazing, I especially like the contrast of the rock panels and the graphics - beautiful! Another great video - the soft whine of the motor, the tires biting into the rocks, the crunch of the leaves and roots - music to my ears!

[@scalebuildersguild]

It's going to take another jeep 7 or a hllacopter to follow..it war me and out just watching it go over all that rough stuff..wish u had a regular truck trying follow...on same path..great driving..for plastic old guy...thxs🏁😬👍

For the body, put it top down and set the chassis into the body. It will help make everything line up easier.

It's about time seeing the CJ. I'm definitely going to have to think about this. I want to see what the aftermarket does with this. This might have to be my next rig. The price seems a bit high but everything is going up so guess we'll just have to deal with it,lol

[@mikebennett4686]

ol Stan looks to be the perfect size for this truck.. :)

[@americanbigfoot7881]

This might be the best looking lexan RTR ever released, phenomenal job by Axial. Great video 👍🏼

[@alans4281]

Thanks for taking the time to make another nice video. I will take whatever colour is available when they finally reach the warm dry sunny sand of Australia. I think removing the doors and most of the roll cage,add a fly fishing rod holder with a lot of weathering is about all the cosmetic work. Underside = Fusion pro and toss out the plastic motor etc.

I thought I had my second crawler to buy all sewn up but now you present this! Looks good but think I would go the silver version with pops of colour done through some nice scale accessories.

I own 3 CJ-7's......One completely restores 1983, one 1982 with 1 ton axles and highly modded for rock climbing, another 84 with 1 tons, for playing in the mud. I've owned 9 Jeeps in my life, 8 of them CJ-7's and my first car was an 82' CJ, so getting one of these to feed my CJ addiction was a no-brainer. Just ordered one, after many many searches and phone calls I finally found one (on backorder everywhere curently). The rumors I heard is there is some sort of issue with the Jeep licensing.....may be false but I have read/seen it in more than one place.

[@scalebuildersguild]

The CJ is such a cool vehicle, I'm not surprised you have 3! It's a very popular model, so it sold out, had nothing to do with licensing.

Not a Jeep guy but Axial have nailed it, this is the better livery Josh was saying the front maarker lights need ro be tinted yet this ones look more amber, detail 10/10 just need to illuminate the dash, would I buy it this may be rge closest I could have got to buying one but coming just after Black friday and Cyber monday I blew my sheckles on 5th scale has stuff and a FTX 1/7th Superforza as I am easing my itch to go 5th scale on road again. Wheb I first saw it part of me wished it was a leaf spring model what it was a tj/yj pass not a Jeep guy but to see Josh's face if ir was riding on leaf springs LOL Nice running montage.

Hello Matt! Nice Axial CJ! Put a RC4WD WARN 8274 winch, leaf springs and a sound module with „chevy small block with carborator and 3 speed gearbox - sound“ on it.

Even if I can't afford it, I am so happy some people will be able to get this truck and drive it...Just like all nice things (real scale Jeeps, Toyota trucks and GR Corollas, Nissan Z, a nice house with a bashing yard + mini crawl course), I can't afford them anymore due to the crazy world we are living, but at least I can look at them. Maybe in the next life...As for the truck, I am also happy Axial is kicking Tra...s's butt.
