The New Axial SCX10III - Don't call it a Comeback!

[@Matteomeier]

Now it’s clear! This will be definitely my first Axial! It looks awesome! Thanks for the video Matt! 👍😊

[@scalebuildersguild]

You bet!

Tilo Langer Jetzt hast du mich! Wenigstens bin ich dann keine Tomate mehr! 😂😂👍

[@rinyneefs4619]

I'm actualy jealous you did not start with one

[@stephenstrommer6507]

Great looking truck! As for the two speed, I love mine. I really only use it if I need just that little bit more wheel speed to make it up a hill but the biggest plus is putting it in second gear to go from one spot to another. It allows me to run the motor at a very low rpm while still moving along at a decent pace and it makes my small battery pack last SO much longer!

[@danielkonrad1444]

It's not an army helmet in the umg 10. It actually is a German firefighter or THW helmet. THW means Technisches Hilfswerk. Basically a emergency force in case of flooding or storms etc. These forces use unimogs.

[@ratlme]

Great info on the new truck! Axial is stepping up their game and it shows. Can not wait to see the build series of it.👍👍👍👍👍

[@mr.shelly1812]

Well done, I have always been an RTR kinda guy - more interested in crawling than building, but this very well may be my first build. Great video - excited to see axial step up and give traxxas and redcat a run for their money. The competition for super scale between these companies is benefiting all of us - who knows whats next!

[@oldironsfury]

This is the way lexan bodies need to be done . Rigid scale realism’s and hide those body clips ! 👍👍

[@zodwraith5745]

I love the hiding of clips but they should have devised some kind of latch system instead of hidden clips. You have to remove bodies a lot and I've been thinking of swapping to magnets but doubt they would stay on during hard rolls.

[@markclausson564]

They don't do this on performance vehicles because it makes it way too top heavy.

[@marymalone5188]

I like a happy medium between performance and scale looks.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Oh Boy, another JEEP. My surprise is overwhelmingly... not there. But, great video and overview. Axial needs to PONY UP AND PAY FOR A BETTER LICENSE

[@scalebuildersguild]

Jeeps are popular the world over, and other than ProLine, and occasionally New Bright, Axial’s got the lock on the license. Why wouldn’t you exploit that? That said, what would you like to see next?

[@TheRealRCSparks]

@@scalebuildersguild Well Sir, as I do understand everyone has their likes and dislikes - the JEEP rubicon, jk, and other versions *have been* exploited for 10 years. As many of Axials releases have been JEEP branded, (apart from a few cages) (and in consideration for the new SCX24 Chevy C10) - It would have been refreshing to see a square body Chevy, GMC, Nissan, New styled Jeep Truck, Honda, Toyota Tacoma, Dodge Ram, Silverado from Chevy, or anything they haven't already done. Proline has been putting out that Jeep body since 2010.. Now granted NONE of them have ever had Portals.. but Axial had no choice but to introduce them into more of their trucks - as portals kind of have take over the world of trail trucking for the time being. Horizon Hobby HAS the license to the Chevy.. so why not apply it to the larger Axial. Great question, and thanks for asking my opinion

[@scalebuildersguild]

RCSparks Studio I hate to break it to you, this is a 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL, not a JK. Axial’s also done the C10 for the scx10ii, as well as a Blazer. I think they just went with what they knew would sell. Jeep people (myself included) are a huge demographic. Who knows what the future holds though, I’m sure this platform will get many new toppers over the years! Great chatting with you!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

@@scalebuildersguild I can tell you are very passionate about Axial, and the Jeep brand. No need to "hate to break it to me", as I did watch your film and am aware that it is a forth generation Jeep Wrangler. You asked what I would have liked to have seen, and I answered honestly. Im glad to share my opinion with you, as that is what you are seeking in the comment section I would assume. To each their own - and there are many things I enjoy about this model. Great chatting with you as well. Keep up the good work on your films

[@scalebuildersguild]

RCSparks Studio all good! I misunderstood what you were getting at! I’m passionate about all things scale, and am very happy about this release, but it’s not without its faults. And for some, it’ll be the body! Ha! Thanks again for your feedback!

[@tomlucasrccrawlers9108]

ABOUT TIME(that's not yelling, just excitement. Lol) Axial releases a rig that has features. A rig with a 2-speed, remote lockable diffs(yes, I know the 10.3 don't have it), Dig and one or more of the these features makes trailing more fun. Now portals , though I love them...they do spoil you. Thank you for the awesome review Matt. I shared this video with some group's.

[@pnwRC.]

2:02 If I didn't know I was watching an RC video, I would have thought this photo was a REAL Jeep! Fantastic video of a fabulous kit!

[@ryurc3033]

Even tho you took a dig at the ascender, still gave this vid a like. I love my ascender, just because its out of date, and it needs a sway bar to keep from twisting off the rock, and its such a goofy looking rendition of a blazer( man we have come a long way)

[@vinnybuffone6775]

FINALLY offset pumpkin from Axial on the scx10! I love everything about this kit. The body is so amazing. I can't wait.

[@poppysrcandmodels]

I have always wanted to build a R/C kit. I've always been a fan of Axial and this segment of the radio control hobby. I honestly think this should be my first kit! Thank you for all you do and have a wonderful and safe day!👍😎👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Very cool!

[@colinreeder4070]

This Jeep looks sick. I wish I could build that kit. It would be my first ever rock crawler. Keep up the great videos Matt

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks 👍

[@colinreeder4070]

[@taylorauldelectric8080]

Awesome work Matt, super stoked you got to premiere the new SCX3

[@scalebuildersguild]

Me too!

[@BC-rc]

When I can finally save enough for the kit, I will be following along w/your build vids as I assemble mine. Thank you for the great video.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Cool! Thanks for watching!

[@ReadySetRC]

Extremely lucky man😊 Great release video Matt! Looking forward to the build videos to come.

You and me both!

[@josefhab8095]

I like the body, I like the whole truck. As I still prefer scale build I will wait for non-portal axle option. Well done Axial team.

[@TheImtoomuch]

You always make simple paint jobs look awesome!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you very much!

[@gigawattrc]

I’d like to see the UMG10 body on there at some point.

[@stevebuchanan5773]

Dont worry axial will release the umg right after you buy the jeep

[@paulclancy2404]

Lol

[@alphamale1568]

Thank you for the info, Matthew. If you paint inside the body with Tamiya PS-55 flat clear first, any paint will stick. I've used all kinds of paint from hardware and automotive stores with great results The Pro-line paint will stick too. : )

[@TheRCNetwork]

Great video, Matt! 34 minutes felt like 10..... (thumbs up)

[@scalebuildersguild]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jacobkaiser3507]

Woah, did I just see an fj45 half-track on that shelf in the background? That is cool, I would love to know where you got that. This video was great as well. Can’t wait for it to come out.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Scratch built. There’s a couple videos on it here.

[@jacobkaiser3507]

Cool, I will have to check those out.

[@Waltkat]

I love Axial RC (I have a 1st gen SCX10) but for my next purchase I've been considering the Traxxas TRX4 kit which for a little less money includes a 4-channel TX, RX, waterproof ESC, motor, and 4 servos. The only thing missing is a body.

[@paulpitmon6663]

Dude, i seriously thought you was jazzin us. Must be why the other scx based stuff is in a pretty generous sale. Great info. Great truck, so far. Great job as always! Love the shirt.

[@ilayshay-cn5cq]

Good morning from Israe.l This my favorite video of yours! I have this vehicle in its kit version and this video convinced me to buy it. As usual comes with a lot of energy and is very fascinating. Amazing and reliable car, I'm a policeman... Full time job, I don't have much time to drive... But when I have free time, I enjoy every moment... My son also has an Axial. scx 10 2 ford 55

[@RyanRKJ]

The only thing that is stopping me from saying "I want one," is the portal axles. I'll be watching to see how that situation evolves. This kit has all the features I wish my Ascender had. Well done Horizon / Axial.

[@rctrails4]

I think the two speed will come in handy for driving up steep dirt hills that require lots of wheel speed

[@wackyrc1394]

Awesome Axial review video, great driving 'beauty' shots, and like the undisturbed mini Matt behind the wheel, so thank you SBG!

[@michaelhoyle3266]

Looking forward to the build series. This kit looks great! Not that I need another rig, but it's not about need, it's about want! You really need to add yours and Josh's heads to your merch store. Man would I love to have a scale rig with you two in it. :)

[@rcintro1489]

There is a reason you got one and you didn't disappoint! Can't wait for the build vids and I was like WTF the driver looks just like you lol!

[@TerraQuestRC]

So impressed with my Capra that I knew Axial is definitely headed in the right direction, especially the new plastic, that I really had zero hesitation in pre ordering. Turns out this will be my first Jeep build, not that I don't like Jeep, just ... yeah everyone has one, this one though finally has enough detail to please me from the manufacturer. Really looking forward to building mine as I follow along with your upcoming build vids.

[@offroader5]

Very cool. I haven't bought a kit since the SCX-10 and this is exciting me

[@jonthomas8487]

I think they did well pricing it to compete with the TRX4 Sport Kit considering that the TRX4 Sport Kit is $280 and includes wheels, usable tires😀, and unlicensed body. My thoughts are if you’d take the TRX4 Sport Unassembled Kit and add a licensed body, 2speed and dig option (not avail), full interior, wheel wells, beadlocks instead of glue wheels, you’d be over $400 for sure. I built the TRX4 Sport Kit and love it, but I’m now considering upgrading the body and getting an interior too, so really out of the box if you want a great value (and if the plastics are Capra quality) they’ve hit a home run with this. As another aside I’m building an Element Kit currently and while I like it I’ve upgraded the front shock tower and panhard to STRC aluminum, pivot balls to Samix metal and had to buy a body and wheels, so if this SCX10 III had come out earlier I’d be better served to get that over the Element.

[@davidarnold2427]

I did not catch the capra bug I will be preordering the 10 3

[@rc-ingaroundamerica8792]

There goes my tax return for a preorder on this truck, I'm glad to see that offset front axle, and am glad to see it as a kit first, though once I get mine I'll dye those diff covers black, the red just looks off, lol

Hi Matt, rc perfection gets way closer man, it might entice me to get my first official 🤫axial rig. It’s bloody awesome looking,there’s actually nothing to dislike about it. I loved the colour scheme you used, it’s perfect looking on the JK. 😎👍👍👍

[@SaltyDazhbog]

You had me at laser cut body .. and the rest of the kit looks awesome too!

[@hemitj]

AWESOME! Love your review of what looks like to be a great new product from Axial! I am looking forward to your exhaustive detailed series of build videos.

Outstanding video! Very well done... I’m sure your build videos will be as well.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you kindly!

[@TheDeLeonGarageCollection]

I’ve been eagerly awaiting this since November when I heard a little rumor. I may have to pick this one up

[@jakec957]

I just traded my scx10-2 for a trx4 sport. I wanted to keep the axial but I really wanted portal axels. Thank you axial for reading my mind, I will most definitely but one of these.

[@joshstringer8181]

Jake C you could have got rc4wd portals for the ar44 axles

[@TheSupradude26]

So glad they are offering as a kit without electronics. I hate rtrs as i end up pulling all the electronics before I even run them, then typically take them 100% apart and rebuild them as i think thats half the fun, plus then when I do tear downs for maintenence and cleaning I know how everything goes back together. There are so many RC's Ive wanted over the years but never bought simply because they were never offered as a electronics-less kit...

[@NaturallyRC]

I looked at the photos, read the specs and said, okay, a TRX5. But after watching this, I have to admit it's more. I'll always be more of a 10ii guy, but strategically this is a huge step in the right direction for Axial/Horizon. They made a lot of good choices and the RTR version(s) will fly off the shelves. Also, another thorough, excellent review.

[@NaturallyRC]

For some reason, I always thought you were in Pennsylvania(?), yet how eerily similar your filming spot looks to my go-to location. Now I get it. 😁😉

[@chrisfigiel9547]

Great review Matt. I really like the what you have done to the body. Definitely considering this one.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@rowntrp]

I love it!!! As an individual who loves Jeeps, I was hoping that Axial would bring out a 1/10 scale JLU Rubicon after seeing their 1/24 scale one. With the adjustable frame on this new SCX10 III perhaps will also see a longer Gladiator version as well. I know Proline has a Gladiator body but it just doesn’t look right on a 12.3 wheelbase and the Axial Jeep bodies are much nicer looking with finer details.

[@ectosports]

Nicely done Matt. Hope to see you soon.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I hope so too Randall! Thanks for shooting a great promo video. You guys nailed it!

[@hellbillywv5724]

It looks like Axial hit a home run if I get one the Jeep body will be history because I’m just not a new model Jeep fan. Great video and review

[@DDMSteveB]

Molded inner fender wheels are very nice, plus the cutouts for the rocks lights are very cool

[@curtschultz3997]

Nailed it... Axial with the new rig and your review video, great work

[@GoProseph]

Dang! That’s a killer looking platform.

[@BrandonMeyer1641]

I was working on my axial yeti when you were talking about how this kit has all the plastics precut from the trees. And I died a little inside as I looked at all the spots on my truck where you can clearly see where the part was cut from the tree.

[@humblerc841]

thank you for the in depth look. i would call it reactionary more than i would innovative, but just the fact that they've improved the quality of the parts is enough for me. there will be fewer things to purchase just for the purpose of putting together a strong foundation to work with.

[@johngera2782]

I would like to see a switchable front overdrive instead of the two speed transmission. I am really tempted to order one. I probably will but involved in two other builds at the moment. Great video. Well done.

[@1darnright19]

Just bought the SCx10.2 F100 and this comes out...Dang I love that JL body and its details. Hopefully Axial releases a portal less AR45 axle for it. Portals have always been good for the small handful of vehicles they’ve come standard with. Really tempted to just get that JL body to put it on my SCX10.2. Hopefully that’s a viable option.

[@kayagon]

Thanks for the review Will definitely watch the build video.

[@markzanger64]

Awesome truck and video. Probably one of your best. Information and video top notch. 👏👍👏🍺

[@jburgess5]

Great video great-looking truck... So many take offs on the TRX 4. I was really surprised that you did not mention that. I just personally felt that you had nothing but praise for the new SCX10 III, and when you did your review for the trx4 defender you had more negative things to say about it. JMHO

[@scalebuildersguild]

I guess you didn’t watch this very closely. I have plenty of issues with it, all mentioned. Doesn’t need a two speed, slop, servo stuff, prefer not to have portals, etc.

[@jburgess5]

MIGHT still do the Element rig too...bit it just got bumped down the list from 1 to 2...

Now you can see why it took so long to come out with the new kit, With all the tooling up needed to make the parts and to design them. it looks like they are getting better with access to better plastics now, as well striking the right balance to scale looks.
