Great video, as it should do, with no music and excellent image quality. The Axial goes better than the Gen8. WHAT esc ARE YOU USING?

both are stock! still are! we changed some of our Traxxas TRX4s ESCs to Castle Creations and HobbyWing

[@emilflognoid1532]

Been researching crawlers so long I’m starting to learn how to navigate terrain just by watching videos 😂 .. “back up 3 inches and turn to the left!!”

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Sometimes it is what it is! Good observation 🤝 it’s like stepping on stones with your feet, stay in front of the rig and watch where you’re putting the wheels

[@yeeyeerc6984]

So here’s my opinion I am not biased towards any brand. I own a axial scx10.2 a Redcat gen 8. And a trx4 bronco! Every one of them has their Strank‘s and weaknesses. My axial is better for actual technical rock crawling. My GEN eight will literally go anywhere if you get rid of that international body. And the TRX four well it does everything well. Overall for ease of maintenance and replacing parts I would go with an axial! If you want overall performance AXIAL is the way to go. If you want something more scale with locking front and rear differentials then the TRX four is definitely the way to go. If you want the best of both worlds and you are on a budget the GEN 8 is a excellent choice... and the GEN eight can keep up with every other RC crawler no problem. Only issue with GEN eight is breakage issues on the axles.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Appreciate your take Yee Yee! I have the same three RCs and agree on all counts! Love your feedback man

[@airsoftoutback3174]

As much as I hate to admit I think the axial out performed

Axial is a gooooooood crawler

[@cbassrobison8510]

The TRX-4 bronco is better than them both I have one too

[@bozdude626]

the stock tires is what holds it back imo

[@bozdude626]

curious if the the axe edition has a slightly different compound than the gen 8 original release version. Or is it the the electronics doing the work

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Christian Robison I have TRX4 Sports, Defenders, the tactical, the bronco .. I like the bronco too, the bronco center of gravity is lower, it’s easier to drive, the chassis is stronger, but the back bumper gets hooked up a lot ... there’s a lot out there, everything has its place

[@nazzalwinchester8728]

I would actually go for the Gen 8,,,the traction is amazing,,,looks like it has proper weight distributed,,,but mostly the way it grabs and holds is good...

Valid points ... thanks man

[@EthanCmsrc108]

As someone who’s owned both trucks, the Gen 8 is a super super nice truck but the 10.2s are unbeatable. I’ve had 3 gen8s and 1 10.2, the gen8s just can’t compare to a 10.2 .

[@Mark-qv4bn]

I actually like my cheapest $140 crawler to my gen 7 sport. Mostly because of the 4 wheel steering and the motors on axles, no drive shafts. The Axial will be mine someday.

[@Mark-qv4bn]

@RickysGarageVibes My tiny hobby shop has a gen 9 scout today in stock. It's a bike shop too. A green gen 9 in stock is a very hard thing to not be walking out with. $370+ tax. I'm saving for another electric bike after I crashed mine almost. Got a flat tire at 18 mph, sucked the valve stem in the tire, and bent the back spokes. Over $400+ dollars, and maybe have to buy a battery and charger? A new ebike is around $1300-$2000+ tax. Hard to justify $400+ dollars on another crawler when I have 3 already, ha ha. Really nice crawler, though. 😂

[@Danielxperez14]

the gen8 is better than the axial if you think about how it was doing almost as good and only 260 usd, i have it myself and its the best thing eveer, and customer suppoprt is great

agreed!!! I even went and got the Gen8 Axe... loving the rigs

[@dsandusky123]

with the V2 gen 8 axe edition out now there is no question for the money and value...pretty much all RC crawlers out of the box you would eventually choose upgrading tires/foam to your liking.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Mike Ashbaugh brother this made my day! Thanks man 🙏🏼 I’m unboxing the Gen8 Axe as soon as I get some time to myself. It’s a bit more expensive but has a lot of the upgrades already added. Just something to consider ... the Gen8 Scout II is great for the price and gets the job done right with no real need to upgrade, I’ve been running it stock all this time. You’ll be pleased either way

[@stinkyrainbow653]

I left the hobby like 4 years ago. Until then I owned every single Axial vehicle. What bothered me the most was their way of suspension travel. Way too much. I had to slam them to the ground right out of the box just to be more in scale. 😄 But all in all I like them both. To me the CC-01 is the best to stay in scale. 👍😀

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Axial has some very nice rigs .... what happened to your collection?

[@but531]

9:35 this downhill driving is so scary. You managed to drive the car to it's limit's and save it before do rolls. Hahahahah man that was scary and cool simultaneously. Gen 8 looks to have more control in throttle especially in the very low throttling that is the most important in an rc or 1/1 crawler.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

thanks man, sure appreciate this comment! You know the vibes!

[@emilflognoid1532]

In your opinion, what’s the better beginner rig?

The Gen8 really tests my driving skills, makes you DRIVE it and it’s tough like the TRX4, can really run it ... they came out with a Gen8 Axe afterwards with updated electronics included and there’s a Gen8 V2 ... I have vids on all three so you can compare, worth seeing before you decide

[@yeeyeerc6984]

Also a addendum to my last comment. If you ditch the international body on the GEN eight and go with like a pro line jeep body and you put some pro line KX krawlers on that beast you are going to outperform a lot of TRX fours and axials

[@RickysGarageVibes]

I have a body on the way for the Gen8, will look at those tires ... love the Gen8, kept it all stock, so I’m excited to see how it performs ... keep it coming, appreciate your take

[@merdenoms5498]

I own a gen 8, and by far the biggest draw back is the huge body that it comes with!!! If you would have put that jeep body on there you would have seen how to gen 8 would easily outperformed that and if you put the Gen 8 body on the axle it wouldn't even came close... I can't believe it's the redcat does as good as it does with that giant body and being stock...

[@RickysGarageVibes]

going to change out to performance shocks .... have them just have to make the time to put them on and test it out

[@FUMan661]

Axial looks to be the better performer and more capable, but I'm telling you the Redcat is more satisfying to drive. Why? Because the Redcat makes you earn the drive. It's not as capable, the throttle is touchy, the bottom center gets caught up a lot, it's somewhat top heavy, all these things make it more of a challenge to drive, kind of like it's an underdog, so when you clear a course with it you know your driving skills definitely came into play - Redcat Gen 8 owner.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

I just built a scx 10 ii and I'm looking forward to running it myself. I haven't had the pleasure of the gen 8 yet, but I can tell you that I've played with a slightly upgraded gen 7 before and man, that thing walks places I didn't think it would! Love that axial body,still deciding on a body for mine. What upgrades would you consider in the axial?

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Crack3drc here’s what I’m planning for the scx10ii ... it’s really light .. a HW Fusion 1800kv, a metal steering servo, weighted wheels and proline hyrax tires to keep it on the ground

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Crack3drc oh and softer springs for the shocks

[@Crack3drc]

@@RickysGarageVibes the one I just built for my channel has the new he fusion 1800kv. It's really nice! Can't wait to put it through its paces

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Crack3drc I took the Fusion out to the beach last week and really RAN it .. put in the SCX10 3 ... you’ll love it! Tag me when you post it!

Do you pick the redcat because of the colour? I’m pretty sure you didn’t pick it because of performance and capability..... just get an orange body for the scx10.2 and you’ll have a better performing truck and the colour you like.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

electronics are waterproof and not much needs upgrades (servo etc) for the price ... glad I bought it

[@nealedmondson3191]

Axial ALL DAY LONG. The redcat is probably your fav because the parts for it are alot cheaper. I wouldnt run anything redcat, thats just embarrassing to admit that you have one lol.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

I'm not in a competition so we'll try any truck .. will get the new RedCat Gen 8 Axe next. We have rigs quite a bit more expensive than RedCat or Axial

[@RickysGarageVibes]

check the parts that come stock on the Gen 8 axe ... for the price and I'm not tied to any brand, judging from my vids I have a lot of RCs from a lot of brands and some I haven't even posted yet

[@theskeptik1]

Axial needs to pull their heads out of their ass. Put a better body on that Gen8 and it will run circles around the scx. Axial is getting left in the dust by the competition.

[@levethane]

I have 2 Axials (Wraith and 10.2) and a Gen8, they all do the same thing. I have broken more parts on the 10.2 though. Plastic just seems a bit more brittle.
