A ready to run RC with all of my favorite ingredients, is that possible? Well: YES! Axial has recently released the SCX103 Jeep CJ7 Renegade! It has taken a while for me to get one in my mittens (it's very cold here), but the day is finally here. Today I am taking you with me to have a first look at this very detailed RC trail truck.
The Jeep CJ7 in its smaller version by Axial features a ton of cool details, and although the chassis consists of familiar looking items, it is the combination that is new. Straight AR45 axles with a high entrance pinion gear, the forward motor transmission with the functioning dig. The option to install another micro servo will allow you to use a two speed. Stainless steel directional links, a metal panhard mount, metal pivot balls and aluminium shock bodies are only a few key items that make this a very attractive RTR package. Add to this a highly detailed interior, opening doors, a ready installed light kit front and back, and a full Spektrum electronics setup and you can easily see that the list that keeps going. In the current line up of Axial vehicles I think the CJ7 might just be my favorite one yet. And: It offers a ton of possibilities for customization! More about that in a future video!

It had never crossed my mind to cut an edge on the tape and not just use it right off the roll. It's the little tips like that, that make a world of difference.

[@hemistormrc]

I hope you will be able to immediately notice the improved result, have fun!

[@blunderwithbigs]

Like the camera movement on the side look. 🤙🏼

[@hemistormrc]

Thanks, makes it a tiny bit less static. :)

[@17madracki17]

Check Out Randy slawson of Bomber fabrication's cj. Would look great in your driveway. Kinda makes a guy think axial got some ideas from his cj

[@hemistormrc]

Will have a look, thanks for the tip!

[@martinsabathy3336]

Great video i really enjoyed it as always.The tape tipp is great definitely using it on my next project 💪👌

[@hemistormrc]

Have fun with it!

[@shaunodriscoll]

I love watching you create such amazing paintwork, even what you regard as simple! 40+ years and I’ve never produced anything more than shoddy ! Great video as always! I’ve just read that back, a bit too much man love 😂😂

[@hemistormrc]

Thank you so much for the kind words, Shaun!

[@scaleaddicted]

Waaaay Better, the stance! Sits perfect and painting, as always, Top Notch Chris!

[@hemistormrc]

It was a bit high on its legs, glad you also like how it sits now. And the rims are great for this!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Great video Chris, as usual!

[@hemistormrc]

I appreciate that, I hope we get some time to hang actually out this year!

[@RC.Time-Crawlers]

Nothing is half a....with you, brother. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with that bed area. Also, hopefully, you can add a detailed dashboard .Takecare 🙋‍♂️

[@hemistormrc]

Working on it! The bed is turning out nicer than I hoped, stay tuned and thank you for watching!

[@stephenr6427]

Great work as usual and thanks for the tip with take I almost got dizzy with the side camera going back and forth 😂 also was spying on the bench to see if there where any clues for the next project take care and thanks for all the videos

[@hemistormrc]

Haha, lots of things in the works! I think there might be a hint somewhere in the background!

[@madsrcbuggy]

Ha ha, yeah, I have to admit I fast forwarded a bit to get to the paint bits... Really nice tips, I have a buggy I just got, the stickers were awful, especially the windows ones, so I ripped them all off, and now need to start figuring out how to paint on the logos and stuff... I need to go back and rewarch your Element Utron video, I think...

[@hemistormrc]

A few touches go a very long way in making a vehicle your own, have fun!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Heck yeah always enjoy your videos, I’ll be watching for the next one until then peace and chicken grease 😁👋👋😎

[@hemistormrc]

Cheers Andy!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Awesome been a while since I seen any of your videos, can’t wait to see what you do with the CJ 7

[@hemistormrc]

More to come! Some nice mods are in the works.

[@jasonphillips5475]

I was gonna buy some shorter shocks to lower the truck. Thanks for the vid and saving me some💰!

[@rckn-rndlwestvirginiarc4388]

Great work and appreciate the tips. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@hemistormrc]

My pleasure! Thank you for stopping by!

[@spaceyrat]

Always appreciate hearing your thought process on these projects. The side cam movement was a little too intense for me to focus, but I think it's a nice concept to use with moderation.

[@cablety]

Thankyou so much for both these tips!! so bloody helpfull!!

[@krashkingrc9715]

Awesome job definitely looks good and always looks so much better. Keep up the great work

[@CRAZYBUILD349]

Hello there, could you please list your upgrades i.e. the name of the Proline Tires and the wheels? Thank you in advance, Cheers

They are listed in the video description, where he said they would be listed.

@@hemistormrc ...yeah, thx a lot...still waiting for my red CJ-7... purchased it via Horizon Europe last November...they say it'll arrive in March maybe 😭 Your upgrades are nice & simple for a beginner like me...looking forward to see it in action in the Norwegian woods 😃 Cheers & Greets from Germany

[@marcushaas44]

Great video as always! Nice to see you back on some projects. I already saw a glimpse of the rear bed on IG. That's gonna be super cool 😎 have a nice weekend Chris!

Awesome as always! 👍👍

[@hemistormrc]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@17madracki17]

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing so many great tips and tricks with us. I always think back to the time you did interior paint and mentioned paint on the underside makes the drivers look like there wearing gimp suits. And i laugh 🤣🤣

[@hemistormrc]

Haha, that one has followed me around for quite some time!

[@bradcowart5044]

Thanks for sharing the tape trick! Never even thought about that😊 Looking forward to the seeing the next video! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@hemistormrc]

Glad it was helpful!

Im running your Hemistorm sticker on my trail truck🏔️ it looks cool 😎

[@hemistormrc]

Very nice, should add a lot of performance too, haha

[@JonnyJetson754]

@@hemistormrc i enhanced the factory paint on my 79 Bronco trx4. Thanks 4 the inspiration and it does perform better on there 💯😊

[@redman4277]

Amazing as usual.

[@hemistormrc]

Glad you think so!

[@roloreoandy9867]

I absolutely love hanging out with you during your videos Chris. Your creativity is so inspiring and pushes me to try new things on my projects that I would never normally do. I salute you my friend and I hope you are keeping well.

[@hemistormrc]

I'm so glad to hear that, will do more of these in the future!

[@OliScreens]

Good job👍

Thank you! Cheers!

Nice. I need more merch! You always had the best designs

Glad you like them! There is a link to my Spring store in the description. :)

Hey Goodmorning Chris, cool hang out while having a coffee. Thanks

[@hemistormrc]

Morning! Thank you for hanging out with me!

[@hemistormrc]

Thank you so much, that is very kind! They are never flawless, but that shows they're done by hand.

[@Axial32]

Get some 3M fineline you can edge on automotive paintjobs without issues. They make both a plastic and paper fineline. Both are great

[@hemistormrc]

Regardless, you will never have the same crispness when you use the side of the tape. I promise!

[@Axial32]

@@hemistormrc I promise you, thats not the case for full scale. Maybe for small scale. I've been masking vehicles and paint cars for the last 15 years. I'll shoot you a message on Instagram, maybe I'll have to send you a sample the tape we use. 😉

Thanks Lee, I hope you are well!
