Axial SCX6 Unboxing + Review

[@scalebuildersguild]

Wanna race? 😂

In Dominic Toretto voice: "I live my life a 1/6th scale quarter-mile at a time."

[@deweyblackburn2047]

ive had mine a few weeks and mostly trail drive the issue i have is it squeaks and creaks to the point of getting annoying any suggestions on how to quite it down thanks

[@scalebuildersguild]

@@deweyblackburn2047 lubricate it. Any metal on metal will benefit from some silicone spray.

[@rcdriver]

Perfect intro! Awesome video Chris!!

[@hemistormrc]

Thanks a ton! You knocked it out of the park too, Greg. I love your new daily, such a nice truck!

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Agree!

[@Demos_Kratos_World]

Not one video on KZbin can show you the true size of this beast. This is almost 3 feet long, with many folks using a 0.5 lens you won’t see that. This is a BIG truck!!

[@bamabiker750]

So you like it, you really like it! So do I. I have the SBR 2.0 since about February and I'm completely hooked on large scale RC's. For me, ordering one of these was a no-brainer. Moving from 1/10 to larger scale offers a very different driving experience. I love it. October 29th cannot come soon enough. Anyway, great video and I can't wait to see what you have planned for your SCX6. Cheers!!

[@tjenkins1126]

Pre-ordered a green one today, man. I've been waiting for a 1/5-6 scale trail truck for a while now. I leave that comment EVERY TIME it's asked what would we like to see hit the market from manufacturers. Now it has. Mine will get ALL the lights. Can't wait to see what the aftermarket brings to the table for this thing. Awesome vid man! Can't wait to see what you do with yours. 🍻👊

[@gmummy]

Gotta love the zip tie on the watch band, great idea 💡

[@kyleroberts5061]

Can’t wait to see a paint job from you on this badass rig

[@hemistormrc]

Working on it as I type this!

[@DaveofRCPatrol]

Very nice introduction to the SCX6! I can't wait to see how this platform impacts the RC crawler/trail truck world. It is definitely massive rig no doubt. Great job man!

[@hemistormrc]

Thanks Dave, always great to see you my friend. I hope you are well!

[@whistlinlipo]

That price tag is so steep but it’s a beautiful rig! Love the intro!

[@hemistormrc]

Steep but looking at the specs, understandable. It’s a lot of truck!

[@viperracing2889]

Here's a comparison with a full-size counterpart, such as the TNT T-Rex Jeep JK (with 43 inch tires and a 121 inch stretched wheelbase). Width: 86" / 14.88" = 5.78 scale Length: 182" / 33.55" = 5.42 scale Height: 81" / 14.55" = 5.57 scale Wheelbase: 121" / 19.74" = 6.13 scale Weight: 6000 lbs / 25 lbs = 6.21 scale Tire height: 43.1" / 7.0" = 6.16 scale Rim diameter: 20" / 3.2" = 6.25 scale

[@MRCG68]

Hello Hemistorm , a question about diffs , not unlockable ? thick oil in or definitvely locked ?

[@hemistormrc]

Permanent locked, very capable in climbs

[@battmuff]

Wow great rc surprise, looking forward to seeing your fantastic new body shells on it 😀

[@hemistormrc]

I can not wait to see what the future holds for this truck!

[@markvasseur961]

I am loving this so much. Need a kit form of it to build

[@hemistormrc]

A Gladiator kit! Can you imagine? 🤤😃👍🏼

[@carlcolorado3549]

🤣😂🤣😂 22:40 I was wondering if people thought I was weird or not. But you confirmed it

[@mattwheelden3647]

Got one being held for me at my hobby store. Bank gave me the go ahead so I'm just waiting till the 29th. Getting the green one. Great video man

[@modzilla74]

Bring on the upgrades!!

[@hemistormrc]

First episode on those is up!

[@tjohanne]

Your videos are always awesome! I wanted this truck already, now I want it even more.

[@robertopracht9748]

Super nice review. I live in the Netherlands and will sure get myself one of these Monsters..

[@outcastrc8052]

Great review Chris! Thanks for your honest assessment of the new offering from Axial. Thinking that this SCX6 would look good parked next to my Axial Yeti XL. Excellent running footage, gives us a better idea of the running features of this JEEP.

[@hemistormrc]

You bet! It's a pretty good size comparison to the Yeti XL, thankfully and fortunately though, the quality feels far superior. And that is coming from someone who loves the YXL platform.

[@chrisweihe9598]

That was a great presentation on the Axial SCX 6. I can't wait to see what you do to the exterior and interior. You have a large canvas to work with.

[@hemistormrc]

Plenty of space to get creative indeed! Glad you liked my take on it. 😊

[@Doug_Morgan]

You cracked me up with the comments about the box towards the end of the video.

[@RCPropaganda]

O man I def need to pick up to get on my channel. So curious how it does being so big

[@hemistormrc]

Surprised with how light footed it felt, makes you forget the size!

[@brentrobinson3274]

Great video love the monster truck line in the intro

[@robertopracht9748]

Super man...the best info I've seen up yo now...you really now how to explain thing loud and clear...

[@JonnyJetson754]

This is going to be Huge Change the world of Rc Very exciting. Thank you for the great video

[@hemistormrc]

You are most welcome, thank you for checking it out. :)

[@FunAdventuresImp]

Jeep scx 6 is so awesome Can't wait to see more video of it on the trails It does make you look smaller Hemistorm when its on the bench it's a little funny 👍

[@hemistormrc]

Yes it does! Thank you for watching!

[@williamlacroix4841]

I can’t wait to see what you are going to do with this one !!

[@chaplinj6512]

Damn! More money will soon leave my wallet. What a game changer! Imagine a 1/6 scale competition.

[@hemistormrc]

Wouldn’t that be something! I can imagine that happening at future Axialfest editions.

[@hemitj]

Awesome video! You had me cracking up multiple times! THANK YOU! Can't wait to see what you have planned for it.

[@wesmadebuilds681]

Very cool truck. Interested to see where this goes. Just hoping I don’t get asked to make styrene bodies for this, that would be a lot. 😄

[@scale6039]

Hmmmm, was just thinking about putting in an order on your website 👍😁🙃

[@jjones1850]

I hope they do a Toyota truck version

[@andrewrichey7374]

Can’t wait to see the paint work that you do on this one yeah appreciate your sharing

[@bjornd.4805]

Nice Video and cool new Car. Greets from Austria ✌️

crawler tracks are going to look full size now

[@hemistormrc]

It is such a great new chapter for the hobby!

[@makestuffmike]

Now we need a TRX1/6 hahaha

This will be my first crawler 4 sho ,don't know I I want green or silver ,but I gotta get one!

What a Beast, awesome job brother

[@hemistormrc]

Thank you sir!

[@makestuffmike]

Seriously! Off to my LHS right now to see if they have one on display!

[@rc-ingaroundamerica8792]

The silver looks way better then the green one, can't wait to get mine

[@hemistormrc]

For what I have planned, a more neutral color like silver will work well. Have a good weekend!

[@robbrcnstuff4220]

I'd have to make my backyard obstacle course bigger, that thing's huge. Would that body fit on an xmaxx?

[@hemistormrc]

Or just move to a bigger house! It dwarfs the Xmaxx.

[@snipedogr.c.9672]

My mind is blown I gotta have it!!

[@makestuffmike]

Met you at RCX a while ago! Super cool dude. Time for me to get back into rc! This might be my return vehicle!

[@hemistormrc]

I hope there will be another RCX in the future, they were fun events!

[@makestuffmike]

@@hemistormrc if there is, I’m guaranteed to be there!

[@thor_4017]

If I had one I would put studded tires and snow plow on it. This is actually big enough to move something in my driveway. With a snow blower in the front it could actually do real work.

[@hemistormrc]

You could drop off the kids at school with one!

[@makestuffmike]

Already a little rock rash on those axles! Love it!

[@hemistormrc]

Heck yes! Added some natural weathering instantly.

[@toddbertram6556]

These rigs seems well build as you'd expect but I just don't see them flying off the shelves. I can see folks buying them if they already have a good place to run them. I found that my 1/8 scale rig pretty much sat on the shelf. All that said, im happy to see something new from axial, but I'd rather have a 1/6 scale yeti score or new TT. They did a good job redesigning the axles, multi piece axles are necessary when ya got 20+ lbs bashing rocks, parts will absolutely break. Amazing would have been a non jeep body but once ya pay for that license ya might as well use it, ha.

[@JoeyRock333]

Your Vids are so cool because you add these tiny bits of info (like you explained about the tail light stickers and how to adjust the lengths of the links). Awesome Truck... It just took top spot on my list. Super Baja Rey is going to have to wait longer now.

[@hemistormrc]

Thank you for noticing the effort I put in these videos, you will not be disappointed in picking this over the SBR, as I think it’s a bit more usable.

[@JoeyRock333]

@@hemistormrc thanks for taking the time to reply and advise on the scx6… I’m a big fan!

[@mainerulesrc9210]

I have watched Greg's review also. Both are very detailed reviews.

Sales of them not allowed till oct 29 in Canada. I have a green one waiting for me.

hahahaha there was quite a few sly jokes in this one. good review 🤘

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great video Chris, was woken up early here in Australia by the sound of 3D printers around the world going crazy for hop up parts 1/6th scale.

Mine has also been busy!

Aaaaaawesome video!!Magisk intro :) After you said you "shrunk" compared to the truck..i could not stop seeing it that way.Friggin funny :) Hepp hepp.Hilsen Stefan ;)

Ideally some spektrum smart gear if you want to use the telemetry functions too. 3S max!

[@wildmangeorgesrcchannel6916]

I want this truck but I have a hard time finding stuff for my tenth scale trucks to crawl on. I like 24th scale because it’s so much easier to find some crawling where it’s topographically flat like Indiana

[@TheTankRC]

It is a nice truck, thanks for the info

[@hemistormrc]

No problem 👍 Thank you for watching!

[@superfeschi]

"Almost going on a succesful date...you need to get your fingers in there and massage it a tiny bit in order to get the results you want to call it a succes" had me dying LOL

[@makestuffmike]

with how scale it looks, the holes in the suspension links are going to drive me crazy lol. How long until I weld those holes shut!? Gotta pick one up first!

Just posted pics on my Instagram to answer that!

[@jelly11666]

Excellent intro. Well thought out. 👍

[@philster3451]

HemiStorm RC, wouldn't you like to see this in Axial's MOG 6x6 version? Now that would be a BEAST 6x6x1/6, so it would have the number of the beast, 666, OMG, uunnssttooppaabbllee!! for free...

[@makestuffmike]

What's the runtime like on this beast?

[@hemistormrc]

Depends how big your battery is, but I found it to be surprisingly economical.

[@makestuffmike]

@@hemistormrc I'm definitely a trail guy not a comp guy. looks like I'll pay for all the mah so I don't have to ever carry this thing!

[@STP_RIDGELINE]

Dang mi big bro that is an amazing rc!!! Awesome vid and review 👍👊💯❤

[@carllincoln5893]

Man, I really like the size and the details. I'm actually kinda worried about the size, meaning is this thing going to be a "Shelf Queen"?? Do you think it's going to break apart after say, rolling over once or twice?? Great review!!!!!!

[@hemistormrc]

Rolled mine a few times, and it is tough as nails!

[@The_RC_Guru]

There’s a video on KZbin already with a guy literally riding on it lol. Looks like he only stripped a 17mm hex when he sat on it and tried to tow his 3500lb Ford but the Ford was in park lol.

[@BravoManUK]

Looks very cool but £1080 / $1478 here in the UK is pretty pricey. Good to see Chris getting excited though, good job with the video, as always.

[@hemistormrc]

It is a LOT of truck, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@screeny30]

well... it is listed with 1099 USD and also 1099 € in Germany :D not really a good course LOL

[@wabash9000]

3s max? I can't wait to get it on 8s. What is the stock top speed? I can't find any info about it on their site.

[@hemistormrc]

I think top speed wasn't listed as that's not really a factor in this one. You want to keep it in sight too, it can cause some harm in the wrong hands. Thank you for checking it!

[@wabash9000]

@@hemistormrc I agree that it's not a normal use case for it. I just think it would be interesting to build a top speed version similar to Harley's 70mph TRX6. Lower it, Gorilla tape band the tires, Mamba Monster 8s, 2028 800kv, and 8s. Find a flat bit of road and sent it. Just to see what it does.

[@17madracki17]

Came here first to check the new axial out. Looks like my MTB needs a bigger back rack.

[@BlindGuyRc]

Well clearly you need a clear body to paint haha. Lots of space for a rad paint job. This is a very cool truck. I know I won't be buying one anytime soon... But. It's very cool. (I'm Quak Rc, changed my name..... was time). Awesome video man. Can't wait to see what you do with it. 👍👍😎

[@scalebuildersguild]

That silver does look very nice, Chris. Better than I originally thought. Want to trade?

[@hemistormrc]

Deal! I kind of dig the green one you have. Want me to ruin it with paint before shipping it? ;)

[@TABRO284]

Do you fancy cutting the roof off? Seen a few people do it on youtube.

[@steverc1986]

Awesome review👍 i have subscribed your channel😊

[@scale6039]

Hmmm, you have an 3D printer so you can build a full interior instead off the lexan one and go crazy with it 👍. Maybe 3D print a bit bigger "engine" for upfront cos it seems a bit too small compared to the rest. Great intro!! Thinking about it, its cheaper than an Capo Sixer1 Suzuki Jimny ( around 1450€) which I have. So the price tag it's okey

[@hemistormrc]

Definitely, I think the pricing is spot on. It is a lot of R&D and a massive risk to take on a project like this, I think this would not have been possible under different ownership.

[@lstruggy]

Man I havnt even finished my scx3 yet and now this? 🥺

[@mpkhobbyRC]

Wow!!! Lol does it even fit on a shelf???

[@hemistormrc]

Only just!

[@Nickwillfixit]

So me being a hardcore largescale mainly 5th gas but have two electric largescale Trophy Trucks this has caught my attention big time, I may actually buy this and have my first crawler but just need to sell a kidney as I have already blown my Xmas budget with a couple of ZD racing electric vehicles and was going to get an LOSI Super Baja Rey man decisions decisions.

[@hemistormrc]

So good to see your name pop up, I hope you are well! I think in the long run that you will use this more and it will cost less to run than the Super Baja Rey.

[@Nickwillfixit]

@@hemistormrc Well I can never leave anything stock there is not one of my dozen or so rig's that have not been heavily breathed on first power then breakages to fix then well you know what.
