Scx10.2 long term view

[@derrickhays3627]

I agree the 10.2 platform is a great basis for whatever you want to build, scale trail truck or lcg crawler or something in-between, love the body and setup on the blazer, thanks for sharing

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Well said!😁

[@DRZ-RC]

The 10.2 has always been one of the best “builders” platforms, in my opinion. Solid foundation for any build project. I just started a 10.2 based project this past week actually. Working on making the General Lee into a prerunner with the twin I-beam front suspension. Should be an absolute ripper by the time I’m done with it!

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

I was actually thinking the same with my project one!

[@DRZ-RC]

@ it sounds like a great idea, no matter how ya slice it.

[@PtsdRC]

I love that truck. It looks like I could shrink myself or size it up and drive off into the snow

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

It is one of my favorites!

[@jesseco9964]

I have been rocking the old Scx10 ii Cherokee kit since 2019. Its a great platform for sure.

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

The kit that got away! Wish I had grabbed one!

[@kevinbreaker2683]

Nice video 👍

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Thanks 👍

[@3dman875]

I love the frames for making scale one off trucks

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Gonna build a truck from framerails one day!

[@SCRedneckRC1]

The 10.2 was and is a great platform, and as you stated marketplace is a great resource for picking them up… when I can afford it I’ll definitely try to score a couple more 🤙

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

The aftermarket is loaded with 2 parts! You could find a cheap trashed one and still make it better then new!

[@alkuhn5219]

Glad you said this about the 10.2, I have 4 10.2 chassis' plus other brands and the 10.2 is still my go to chassis it just flat works and crawls with all the new trick chassis' etc. Love em. Thanks

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Thanks for sharing AL!

[@OGRadGrow]

Nice 👍🏾💯

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Thanks 💯

[@3dman875]

still a nice looking truck

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

I thought the gold wheels were just right on it!

[@bcochener]

I missed these when they were new, but it reminds me a lot of the HPI Venture platform they just brought back. I have the original Venture FJCruiser and really like it for the same reasons you mentioned above. Simple to maintain is key for sure. I have a full interior TRX-4 that is just jammed with stuff. So much removal to get at anything there. -Problem I find though, is even with the fairly simple setups, I end up complicating them with all the added scale goodies and inner fenders and whatnots! 😂

[@bcochener]

Oh, and that Blazer body…. Just gorgeous!

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

True! First non wrangler they did

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

I also have the venture have not really used it much, but now that they are making the kit I may have to pull it out! Trx4, vanquish, Scx10.3. All over engineered!

[@toeshifter]

Thanks for the long term review. I only have the 10.3’s but they are nice. I’m gonna get the new Basecamp. I love the General Grabber tires.

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Nice choice on the basecamp! And your current trx4 build.

[@toeshifter]

@ Thanks! The Trx4 build turned out great. I’m really happy with it. I keep going back and forth, cannot decide between 2.2’s or 1.9’s. At least the swap is easy.

[@WoodsUnknown]

Anything from Axial has my vote, thanks Gerry for these awesome videos. I also reached out to Rc Nickster with no reply, hope all is well.

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Thanks bud, I to hope is well

[@Casitascrawlers]

I came home from work & out of all the Videos I went right to this one. Thank you I appreciate it everytime I watched your videos my eyes went right to the Brazer. There's a reason for my nagging request 😅 I have the last version of the Honcho which is identical to that chassis except it came with plastic links everything else is identical. I do like the Honcho body but my plan is to put the same style Blazer body on it. And I know it's anti sacred but I was going to use the TRX version unless you can recommend another brand that has that similar body. I had already replaced all the links with metal links & just put in a Fusion in preparation.But I must say you are 💯 correct the stock electronics had a very nice slow crawl to it with good torque. I have to say that I also find this simple design to be a great performer. I can't wait to mount up that Blazer body to the chassis & be given me a look at yours & the info you provided I'm stoked to get it going now. I just want to thank you for even responding because some other channels don't seem to ever respond to a simple basic question & I know people can't comment everytime but after a few times it makes me not wanna watch their channel. It was nice to get off a hard day at work & watch this.👐👏👏👏👏 So the name of my channel is actually from Lake Casitas in Ojai CA. my local lake where I fish & take my RC's out. I normally dont like hearing my name being mentioned but your one of my favorite channels & have much respect.My real name is Eddie. Looking forward to Fridays rants this video was like the cherry on top sir. 🤙

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Thanks so much my friend, traxxas is the only body I know of. And more blasphemy is that side by side the traxxas body is much nicer!

[@anthonyengland4410]

I've got 3 myself all built differently

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

The pure joy of the 2!

[@thesillypig785]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Axial was the first to sell a proper scale crawler. The SCX10. Maybe RC4WD sold scale trucks back then, I can't remember. But as far as I know Axial was there from the beginning of RC crawlers. I bought a SCX10 Honcho shortly after release, and still run it from time to time. Offcourse it's far from a Honcho with all the mods I did.

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

You are correct sir! Ax10 / scx10 first purpose built crawlers, rc4wd true trail truck same time frame.

[@creekcreeperrc7972]

I preferred the 10.2 for crawling. It has great steering angle better 3 gear trans. Tiny diffs. Front battery tray...

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Still my favorite platform!

[@rcgeneration824]

As a chevy lover myself, I wish I'd bought this model when I had the damn chance. 😡 About a year ago or so, a guy on ebay was selling one in excellent condition for about $700.00 bucks. 😬

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

The trx4 version is a cheaper option!
