Just be happy it's not a Jeep - Axial SCX24 Lexus GX470

They finally moved the battery up front!! It's still up higher than I like to put mine, but at least they're finally wising up and moving that weight forward.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I don’t think the battery location changed, but I’ve been wrong before!

[@SoulG03]

Something other than a Jeep is a win! Would love to see a hardbody COE Unimog from either Axial or Traxxas, next!

[@HighhScore]

This is absolutely awesome! As a kid who grew up around nothing but Toyotas, this is amazing to see. I do not have anything smaller than 10th scale vehicles in my fleet but this really makes me consider taking the plunge into small scale crawlers. I think we are all excited to see what this license will bring us in the tenth scale side of the hobby. Cheers SBG!

[@braapzakk1681]

As a overlander and toyota fanboy. I approve!!! Surprised this came out before a 3rd gen 4runner.

[@just.jose.youtube]

I can't believe my eyes... Something other that a Jeep, Chevy, Toyota, Land Rover...??! 😮 Congratulations Axial! 🎉👏👏👏 Don't stop, try other scales and other car makes! 🙏😁 Thanks for the review Matt!

[@Mattwiistand]

Im actually surprised they offered this to us. Love it! Im so glad to have something other than jeeps, and squarebodies even thkugh i love them we are a bit saturated on them lol

[@jdsrcs8061]

It is pretty cool!!!! MAKE THE HANCHO NOW AXIAL!!!!

[@powersmodelgarage]

Awesome running shots 👍

[@MysticRiverRC]

If only they hadn't gone so damn dark on the windshield! This truck would never pass the State inspection.

[@_is300mj__7]

ohhhh baby once this is in my local hobby shop im buying it

[@RCCrawlerz209]

I'm glad that Axial is branching out to other brands. I want to see then branch out to Chevy & do their Colorado, that'd be dope!

[@alexanderrichards6236]

I wish they would scale up the bodies so the trucks aren't running 40s but it'll be a cool rig to display.

[@MatthewJorgensen1968]

Yup, though I haven't put a battery in any of my rigs in months, this one appeals to me... I may just have to ask the great pumpkin to leave one in the patch...

[@thomasbialzik3060]

Great video. I love that your room is large enough to do hobbies and reviews from and yet small enough to take to Paris!😜❤

[@guest6423]

Nice review. The body really is great, but the wheels and tires give it that Stomper vibe. I'd like to see it on some early .9" Axial wheels, or even .7s.

[@madmikescustoms]

Awesome review Mr Matt, tires look like 40s or 42s to scale size. Awesome rig especially for being a hard body. God bless and keep wheeling 🙏

[@BrazinScaleRC]

Dang it! Axial might actually have gotten me into 1:24 scale now

[@WombleRCmodelsandhobbies]

My most used rig is an scx24 with hard body crawler company fj40 body . Its took many upgrades to make it perform well with the weight of the tall hard body but its ok . 👍 Although its more 18th scale now .

[@dorkymk3]

i got rid of my 1/24 and 1/18 and now will need to buy one again since I do drive a gx470.

[@forrestcrabbe]

That little guy looks great. I like the small scale stuff but i can't work on em as good anymore 🤷‍♂️ c'est la vie 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘

[@aaroncarr5725]

Sweet! I have everything to build it out. Awesome review

[@zamoragera13]

Yes inner fenders and taillights would do it.

[@mickeysrccrawl]

Its a 1/24 scale… but at least a hardbody 😅 and a little bit cute. Best from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@Elisplushies360woodierc]

Cool looking Lexus 4x4 and I get it when a certain crawler calls out to you.Just that there are so many options with more features at a better price nowadays.Im still liking the small scale crawlers along side my 1/10.They both have their uses and entertainment for me. Great vid and crawl with this one.👍🏼👊

[@gibsonlife573]

Pretty freaking awesome and that's the only scale I mess with and I got a ton of them

[@crawlerballer]

Oh happy day!!! Must have this

[@brianmorrison2846]

That’s great but what about a 1/10th scale?

[@Mattwiistand]

Now that would awesome!

[@_is300mj__7]

or what about 6th scale ouuuu

[@DadsRCGaragePNW]

Give it time. It will come. With the losi groms they got Toyota license. This is a result of that. So yes there will be a 1:10 just give it time

[@modelcarjedi]

I like the white version and love tiny trucks

[@Lampshadekid]

MAN this thing is SO COOL

[@JDSTACTICAL]

Just what we wanted, a 7th version of the scx24

[@natehill8784]

Still want a 3rd Gen 4Runner, I have the pro line 2nd Gen body I've been painting to match my 2002 but would love an actual 3rd Gen. I have 2 1/24 one for me and one for the wife because it's the only thing other then my lunchbox she's willing to drive because there slow, haha Plus New England weather means not many winter outdoor stuff, so drifting and carpet racing, or indoor 1/24 stuff to get the rc fix while it's all cold and wet outside!

[@Overland_RC]

Looks awesome! Now we need it in 1/10 😂

[@DadsRCGaragePNW]

Same wheel base as the jlu but the lower links are different. So keep that in mind when buying them and wanting to do links.

[@minizautosclub1897]

Waw! It looks great. The bronco was nice but the gigantic gap between body and bumper was a no-go for me. This is definitely the one release that could lead me away from the mini-z. That body looks nice, tucked behind this bumper... and with oil shock as standard.

[@IanG1978]

Amazing! Love the look, if only it was a 1/10, maybe some day

[@jameswisecarver]

Dang the Emilys are comin in strong for ya bro lol, Lexus, fancy yota.

[@WigglesTTH]

GX470 is a Land Cruiser Prado

[@scalebuildersguild]

Which is a 4Runner in North America.

[@WigglesTTH]

@@scalebuildersguild sort of? I think the GX470 and Prado share more DNA. The 4Runner today is its own beast I think. Kinda like the Tacoma is sort of a Hilux. At least that's my understanding of it. I could be wrong, I'm actually a dummy in real life.

[@WigglesTTH]

@@scalebuildersguild either way Axial is getting my hobby bucks for this thing. Another to add to my Toyota collection!

[@CoolHandLukeZ]

@@WigglesTTH Yeah you're right the Prado and 4runner aren't really one in the same. Many differences between the two (overall size, powertrain, etc)

[@caledoncrawlersrc2216]

Aawww baby Lexus

[@travis5738]

Luxury Land Cruiser

[@jrfishes]

Cool looking little truck but I just have no use for 1/24

[@alans4281]

8.40 👍🏼

[@justinv584]

Damn i was eyeballin the ascent 18 but then i see this 👀

[@2fmrc]

Do yourself a favor and get the ascent18. It don’t look as good out of the box but it’s 10 times the truck. This is a shiny new body on top of the same piece of garbage.

[@stuartoakley4784]

So, it comes down to performance versus scale looks. Never mind this is a 1/24 scale, from a performance perspective the Ascent 18 IMHO is going to out perform this, especially as a rock crawler. It has portal axles for great clearance and is easily the quietest rig I have. I am continually amazed at the performance of my Ascent 18. The other difference is actual crawler versus more of a trail rig with some crawling abilities. The most important thing is the fun factor. Go with what you want and just have fun.

[@2fmrc]

@@stuartoakley4784 yeah even though I think this body looks terrible with its dark tinted windshield and odd looking tires it is still more scale than the ascent for sure. I put the Injora ir60 on my ascent and now it’s way better looking than this thing lol. And it runs great!

[@stuartoakley4784]

@@2fmrc By the way, I watch your channel all the time. Thanks for the great content.

[@2fmrc]

@@stuartoakley4784 I really appreciate that man!

[@rc-daily]

Id like to see axial offer this in 10th scale

[@Mtbmi]

Something over than a jeep and a Toyota! Yeah! Oh wait……..

[@wun1gee]

I'd be interested if it were the new GX550 but the outgoing old GX? Nah fam. It looks goofy on such big tires too.

[@blammers]

I'm disappointed 1/24 scale gets all the cool bodies. They need to make this available in 1/10 already! I've been holding off getting an SCX-10iii for years now, hoping for a new body and every time they give it to the tiniest truck.

[@rc-daily]

Only scx24 ive liked

[@MK-FreedomUSA]

I honestly don’t get the appeal of the 24s. I own one and yes, I sometimes drive it around my desk or make an obstacle course for my son and I. But honestly, they are too small to take outside and that’s where I’d rather be. For me, bigger is always better. And the cost is insane. They do look cool though.

[@bcochener]

@@MK-FreedomUSA you know you can take anything outside. Well, may ask the wifey before taking some things… 😂

[@DadsRCGaragePNW]

Also this hardbody is a bit thinner to make it a tad lighter.

[@waynewilloughby3915]

Can you do a comparison of the FMS land rover versus the new Lexus?

[@TRAIL_MIX_BILLY]

Looks like a RAV4 body

[@johncamfield2165]

I own two of Gx470’s in real life and have been wanting to do a 1/10 version for some time but unable to find any body options. I guess I will have to settle for a 1/24 version. Axial/proline need to get on the ball and do a 1/10 body.

[@Cdeath1313]

Meh, not interested in anymore stock scx24's. All I use them for is comps at local hobby stores and by the time you make them competitive you have stripped away almost everything stock. I just build them from aftermarket parts now. But that's just my use case. If I want to tiny trail run i'm going with my ascent 18 that I put the injora ir60 hardbody on.

[@g.donuts3551]

Tires definitely too big. Otherwise I like it. Know someone with a 460 that might “need” this.

[@jamiemick2417]

Obsessed 😍

[@tylerrobinson3020]

Pretty cool but can we get 1/10 scale something that isn't a jeep or ford.

[@tomjanuslikeaboss91666]

I wish it was 1/10 scale

[@jkmiddy2224]

120 series prado

[@scalebuildersguild]

Which is also a 4Runner in North America!

[@MrJeepMan78]

Yep it's not a Jeep but it is another Toyota

[@Jb-Raja]

So this or the Fcx24m?

[@2fmrc]

Fcx24m is much better out of the box imo. Same ol crap scx underneath. But most of these guys that have this atm won’t acknowledge the 24m because horizon sent them these for promotion and wouldn’t like a real comparison 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BROtheBRAWLER]

Nice😂

[@smashtj666]

Any new release should be in 10th scale...if popularity is up..then micro release..... This is a misfire as far as releases go...

[@svpracer98]

Something other than a jeep, sure... But I find it to be an even more annoying owners group...

[@2fmrc]

Haha! No doubt

[@FireBlade57]

Never seen this car ever. Not interested. Tires look way too big.

[@WoolstyRC]

Its a glorified LAND CRUISER 😅 not 4runner i only know this because of 4wd247 channel and shauns LC80 (SUTTY)

[@scalebuildersguild]

It’s a 4Runner in North America. Prado in Europe/Japan.

[@WoolstyRC]

@@scalebuildersguild i thought the 4runner was smaller like hilux size

[@Mattwiistand]

​@@scalebuildersguildNot to split hairs but I'm pretty sure this Lexus is the luxury version of the N.A market Land Cruiser.

[@scalebuildersguild]

@@Mattwiistand The GX470 is the same as the 4Runner 4th gen which is the same as the Prado.

[@a36538]

this isn't actually scale though, it needs an IFS

[@bcochener]

The absolute worst person to review a new SCX24… 😂 No offense Matt.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I’ve reviewed every single one of these! 😂

[@INSIDIOUS-ONE]

Meh! Hard pass! Screams pavement princess lol! And the same lamé electronics!
