RC Trail Truck Favorite Gets A 2018 Overhaul! - Axial SCX10 II Deadbolt Running & Review | RC Driver

[@michaelbaxter8383]

Very good video of the old and new dead bolt. They are both very nice looking trail trucks💪👍👍😎

[@chadandersen2774]

Just updated my 2014 Deadbolt. Was virtually stock all these years. Now got some Desert Lizard shocks, metal 4 Links, beadlocks and proline krawler tires.

[@robertabraham4429]

Great video!! Thank you for being here!!!

[@rcsendandblast1579]

Thanks Brutha. I'm gonna get this one for my daughter she is 8. Perfect truck for her. 🤝🤘👌thank you bud.

[@aviano72]

Nice review of Deadpool 2 I mean Deadbolt 2 :)

[@anroboticus643]

Love these videos, I just really wish I could hear the RC's sounds when driving it around to test. Even if you are silent the whole time, its nice to hear the sounds of it!

[@lylekehrer6159]

I like the deadbolt, so I broke down and splurged - $300 is splurging on my budget. As Scale Builder Guild put it : Deadpool 2 : Ha! I think I will love this one too. I plan on putting a winch, etc. on later, but that will be much later.

[@johnsdad092009]

Something you should know being an owner of the trail honcho.. front avles are actually called dog bones and the issue with these are extended time in full lock will degrade new style c hubs on the axles and if you crawl a lot like I do ..... spend the cash and get stock axial u joint front axle shafts ..... that being said why change? Dog Bones bind at high angles and plastics are weak and prone to breakage.... just a heads up on the miss leading advise of your choice ... 30 bucks for joints and 50 for joints and new housing.. you do the math! I do love the show and keep up the great work.. just trying to save folks alot of trouble down the road!

[@opairsoft8100]

Only problem I have had with my gen 1 deadbolt which is now about 1 and a half years old and has probably close to 100 miles or more was the metal on the drive shafts rust with Light water or even snow getting on them. The other problem was one of the plastic gears in the gearbox striped at about 50+ miles. Oh and the gear that connects the drive shafts to the each other had all three of the screws loosen. Sorry if I didn’t correctly name what gears they were, don’t know the names besides pinion and spur gears

[@ericfresh]

I picked up a Trail Honcho last week now im planning some upgrades...

[@robertrosson1990]

Fantastic views looks like a great place for rc crawlers.Sure wish we had places like that down here just have sand and beaches guess it not all bad lol.Thanks for sharing a review.Have considered get one for my grandson.

[@shaunwalling7045]

Thanks for the great video this will be what I'm getting in a month of two and probably what gets me into rc crawlers

[@danielmiller3791]

Deadbolt is suspiciously similar to a Scout 800.... Would've been cool to see some recognition there.

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

You didn't SCRATCH it on that Hill.... You got *TRAIL TROPHIES!!!* 😎😉 Axial did a GREAT JOB of keeping the Deadbolt II at the SAME Price Point as the original. KUDOS!!! 🍻🍺👏👏👏👏👏 Yes, it's got Plastic Links - but they are MUCH stronger than ANY SCX10 One. Josh (Harley Designs), beat the CRAP out of the Honcho II for over 6 Months, even Competed - with those same Plastic Links!! Axial did their Homework, engineering better Plastic on those Links. They have just a little flex, but NOTHING like the "Wet Noodles" on the Original. The AVERAGE Guy shouldn't have to replace them any time soon, unless they REALLY want Metal Links (or are one of those "Know-it-all" Types!!) I can name at least FOUR Channels, but I'll be nice! 😉 And the One-Piece Axles.... People whining about them, most have NEVER even tried one with those Axles!!! 😱😮 SURE, you can't upgrade the C-Hubs, but if someone thinks that the World will end if they don't - go buy a new early SCX10 II Axle Housing! About $15 at most Hobby Outlets. Everything swaps into it from the one piece, and you can get the C-Hubs of your choice. Easy Peasy!! The Original SCX10 almost NEEDED upgrades, for any rough running. GOOD Rig still, but those Links were almost as prone to breakage as the Dogbones in the Front Axle! Like I said, they're STILL great Rigs. I'm not getting rid of mine anytime soon. But the new one is just Better, right out of the gate!! Carmine 💥 ⛽

[@nunodias3331]

i have the honcho, im starting to think of buying the deadbolt for a friend

[@BraydenWolframe]

I'm going to be getting either the honcho or the deadbolt. I have a gen7 but I'm selling it since there's not a whole lot of stuff I can do to it, i kinda want to make a scaler.

[@PeterPiccolo]

over 3 minutes and u havent taken it out of the box!! jeez shoulda fast forwarded that... show us some footage of it on the trails!! wondering if i should keep my scx10 jk, or either get the honcho scx10II or the scx10II rolling chasis kit, and id prolly just take my savoc server n esc n motor out of my spare parts or even take them off my current scx10 jk... please let me know what you would recommend? is the honcho pretty good w speed? i remember i always wanted my jk to go faster, right now im testing out a 17 turn firebolt motor from hpi... would that make it faster? also could you do a slipper rebuilt video? for some reason mine is sticking out now and the cover wont fit over it... Please help me out and let me know what i should do... logically im thinking the kit would be the best and i can put the stock ecs and tactic server back into the original and put all my upgraded parts on the scx10II kit, and add all my aluminum upgrades? i would be so grateful if you would be so kind as to give me your opinion on this matter.... what would you do in my shoes? thanks god bless

[@awe_rc8380]

Nice review man! Good jobb 💪

[@blackbirdrc8348]

Think i'm gonna go with a trx4 sport or ascender f-100

[@fernsolo]

Exelente review, putting them side to side to compare them, it's almost like we're saying good bye to the 1st generation SCX10, out with the old, in with the new

[@PaulK390S90V]

Is this still a really good entry level rock crawler in 2022? Just snagged a brand new one for 260$ on horizon hobby! Have a Maxx v2 but wanted a cool crawler to go anywhere! Is this still a great one...? Excited to get it! Seems to be a good rock crawler.

[@1982pantro]

Hi Paul im thinking of getting too tonight, what type of battery are you running? I think this is still a hell of a truck for anyone, entry or seasoned driver.

[@sofloflow]

@@1982pantro its $50 off on Amazon rn

[@1982pantro]

@@sofloflow is it a 2s or 3s,how many Mah?

[@sofloflow]

@@1982pantro idk i just bought a TRX4 Bronco so I aint really in the market, but i think 3S.

[@1982pantro]

@@sofloflow got it, thanks🍻👍🏻

[@traxrc]

What batteries would you reccomend running in the SCX10 II deadbolt?

[@carnivorouslee]

Another great update to the solid scx10ll not to sure of that green though looks a bit barfy!

[@opairsoft8100]

Lee Wildman I agree

[@jimdownie671]

nice videos! do you drive with one hand and video with the other. . . . . or have a separate camera person?

[@SnarkyRC]

Not a bad rig but, I spent a few extra bucks and got the 2000 Jeep Cherokee. Much easier to customize and it comes with beefier parts.

[@andysmith5152]

hiya, excellent vid mate, so is the deadbolt the same as the honcho, other than the shell?

[@josephraineri8127]

Great video.

[@jeffonquest1001]

Does it come with stickers? Other than the ones premounted.

[@roadrunner681]

you can make your own links easy

[@thevincentpriceless3936]

Is this Tarrywile park?

[@ModellbautechnikSalzkammergut]

Cool, i also have one

[@rcaxialscx10]

add stick on weights inside the wheel

[@gta_gaming4442]

Can you do a comparison video with the scx10 2 deadbolt and the crc jeep please

[@josepherickson7618]

Great video super awesome 👍👍👍

[@thatmotoguy3140]

can you make a review on the axial bomber

[@rcdriver]

It's a possibility. We do have one.

[@beefblank7626]

Nice Intro

[@Milfmilker-gd6gm]

What connectors are on the ESC

[@poppysrcandmodels]

Great review and rig! I may add that to my R/C garage, Lol! 😉👍

[@thor_4017]

I keep forgetting how terrible the stock equipment on axial rtr kits are. Plastic links, plastic servo horn, glued tires, plastic shocks, and dog bone drive shafts up front. No wonder my scx10 is 70% upgrades.

[@isaaclyonsf1]

Cool!

[@cwatson42785]

Hey Greg you ever consider selling that traxxas speed boat?

[@rcdriver]

No sir, love that boat! Can't wait to use it now that the weather is warm!

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Guess I'll be the only negative guy again, but it seems to me like they wanted to suck as much money out of this and the honcho as they could. Can't upgrade the c-hubs or knuckles, plastic transmission gears, cheaper controller on the deadbolt no side rails, cheaper bumpers. Whatever, this is not what I wanted from Axial. I'm glad so many are gushing about getting less for more.

[@PYROxSYCO]

ArielsSmartyPants I seems to me they went for the redcat market if I'm correct. Affordable with less features. The good part is you can upgrade it to have those things you were wanting with after market parts, right?

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Doesn't seem that way to me, redcat is much cheaper, the price is comparable to the gen7 pro, which has floorboards, side rails, metal parts, luggage rack and a lot of scale pieces. Why cheapen the axles so they aren't upgradable without a total replacement? Axial doesn't want to sell even their own c-hubs and knuckles? To be honest I wish they'd kept making the 1st gen honcho and deadbolt over these watered down versions.

[@roadrunner681]

the reason i see this is most people that buy this truck will not be like us, they will just want to drive the truck around but the truck will be a gateway to axials higher end models is probably what there thinking

[@rodpolice]

@@ArielsSmartyPants Finally someone saying the truth! Totally agree with you.. Plastic links is fine but those axles, though and plastic gears.. Axial is starting to look like Apple now.
