Trailing & Crawling the Axial Ford Bronco SCX10 III in Sand Hollow! First Drive

We made it to the trail with the new axial scx10 3 Ford Bronco RTR. I get on the rocks and test the capabilities of the retro ride climbing ledges, getting tippy and conquering obstacles. The dig unit is put to good use as it should be from the box stock truck. The suspension gets twisted up as we go. If you like trailing and rock crawling this is the review for you!

That is sick!I love classic bronco, and Axial has out done themselves!! Def found my new rig lol!!!

[@joshl1984]

price is sick also!

[@alfalso434]

Hell ya!! For all that it comes with, awsome!!

[@fastdude2002]

Connecting the speed control and receiver into one is not awesome.....

[@BlindGuyRc]

Dude. Great review. This build is awesome. Axial gave everyone what they wanted with this.

[@markhinkle3234]

That is a winner! It looks awesome! May be my 1st Axial 1/10 scale crawler. Thanks for the video!

[@westdesertwheeler]

Great start with this one! I’ve had a few and they are a ton of fun

[@jdsrcs8061]

Awe dang you got one!!!! Freaking AWESOME bro!!!! It looks right at home on that sand stone!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@boldrbangr9834]

Great job Axial! Good move to ditch the portals & go straight axle. I'll take mine in Turquoise please 😜

[@EloyBroder]

Big thumb to you Logan, I really enjoy yur videos, you're absolutely right about this Axial rig, it is a beuty and fun to drive. Thank You!

[@barceloni1984]

I really like your review style. Showcasing the truck performing while you go over it's features I the best. I just ordered one of these trucks from horizon hobby, they're having a clearance sale on them for $299. Had my local hobby shop order me the turquoise one. Can't wait to get it out on the trails. 👍👍

[@mickd8188]

Cool video bro. Killer new truck from Axial. Scale details and the style is awesome, straight axles and included parts and upgrades is solid I Like how you've stayed true to your style of footage and show your spin on things. I'm excited that West desert wheeler and Axial have teamed together. Cheers mate 👍

[@upgraderc8617]

That terrain is beautiful! Wish I could find something like that around me.

Yeah appreciate the video, just ordered mine today the teal Blue color, love the old broncos I’ll be watching more

I’ll take ✌️

[@sgtlt]

great driving video, the truck did really good

[@RCTNT]

Sweet review and what a great location for it! If the receiver is the same as in the RTR Gladiator, it is a 4 channel unit. You just need to bind it to a 4 channel radio like the DX5 and you're set! Again, great work on the video, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one of these!

[@davo1661]

The best upgrades for performance are changing the wheels with a heavy ones and de suspension to 90mm. I own one with that upgrades and it makes a big difference.

[@davo1661]

If you don't want to change de shocks use a thicker oil 50 in front 60 in the back

[@TheTankRC]

Looks good like some of the details on it.

[@HobbiesRfun]

Even though many are tired of Jeeps, an old school CJ done up like this Bronco would be cool, and wouldn't be just another JK rehash. That said this Bronco is not only cool as hell, but looks to me like the best rendition of the classic early Bronco anyone has done.

[@shortbusecv49]

Another awesome video I love the rig I personally just want the body

[@wildhorses4x4]

Love this!!

[@rcplaytime]

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thank you! I will 🤘🏼

[@allmightygreat1892]

Yes

[@SuperSTEIN24]

Pretty sick but kind of surprised they did a bronco considering there are 2 bronco styles offered from traxxas. If you’re a bronco lover you’ve got a lot of options!

[@jerryhermann7233]

Traxxis for me isnt a option. Have a very very bad taste in my mouth from years ago. They make a ok product. Just not for me.

[@fastdude2002]

Traxxas Broncos are much later body styles. Nothing cooler than the early original Broncos. I have 1:1 old school Jeep CJ7 restored and a early 70s Bronco with a V8 is next on my real vehicle list

[@allmightygreat1892]

Your style all good

[@juniorflores687]

Great video and format.

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thanks so much man

[@allmightygreat1892]

If you plan on changing the esc the rx must be replaced. The esc and rx are connected internal. Per my hobby shop. They said theres no place to plug an esc into the rx

[@K3NnY_G]

4:25 - Do the 10.3 transmissions have dig like the vanquish hurtz ones where you can run the rear just freewheeling? That'd of been the ticket there, I do it all the time, helps to not load up the rear end, just pull the truck up.

[@westdesertwheeler]

Stock it will lock. But with a 3 position switch and the right end points set you could make it 4x4 freewheel and lock.

[@mikebird8290]

Also ORDERED the DX5 RUGGED in ORANGE.So I will be able to make use of the 2 speed

[@westdesertwheeler]

Great choice having dig and two speed is an awesome combo. Let me know when it shows up!

Hi logan, great chanel. Looks amasing, just uploaded pic on my instagram of my own 3d made bronco of its first drive. Axial looks like they nailed this one.

[@westdesertwheeler]

I may have seen that, great work man!

[@Gooche]

What upgrades would you say to do for better crawling performance? Also should the ride height be adjusted seems tall

[@jefferychristensen6677]

Very realistic

[@ByronRC]

Great vids👍🏻 Do you think they will bring this out in a kit soon?

[@mattiasrc]

Looks good

[@thor_4017]

This kit looks really nice. I would definitely swapped out the front LED lights. I hate blue tint headlights. Especially on retro rc cars. I was very impressed with quality on gmade warm white light kit for my gmade buffalo. Wire quality is 100 times better than the light kit from axial on my 2014 scx10.

[@westdesertwheeler]

That would be a nice touch changing the color temp on the lights!

[@ryooperdude3144]

Portal axles? Looks like scx10 ll axles.

[@westdesertwheeler]

This does not have portals, they are using the updated “AR45” straight axles with an offset front differential. Similar look but updated from the 10.2 axles

[@vicc6744]

how did the tires do?

[@RcCrawlingAround]

nice

[@allmightygreat1892]

28 thousand is an option for jeep portals

@@westdesertwheeler 3d printer could make short work of it

[@johanlabuschagne377]

So between this and the Taxxas TRX4, which is the better buy?

[@westdesertwheeler]

Depends what you want. I prefer the straight axles and dig in the axial. If you want to unlock diffs with portals the Traxxas. Also I don’t care for the new Bronco but I like the old body style

Did they ever fix the trash electronics? dig servo failing in less then a dozen runs, all in one ESC/receiver …

It is an scx10 3. This particular truck doesn’t click. Not sure if there are any changes to the transmission.

[@mxsty8829]

Hey Logan great video, I’m going for a trail rig and I’m not too sure what to get, early bronco or trx4 sport? What do you recommend, I’m looking for more preformance stock out of the box! Edit: does this come stock with dig and can you use it with the stock remote?

[@westdesertwheeler]

Hey there, stock truck has dig with the RTR radio. Out of those two the trucks the sport would drive up more challenging terrain

[@mxsty8829]

@@westdesertwheeler thank you so much! I’ll most likely get the bronco as it has more scale features and comes with the dig,I’ll think about it.

[@paulschryer9571]

The front fenders are too high, and the front edge of the hood & grill area is kinda wack !!! 😝 BUT.....it does give us another "body" to use and look at, I guess..... 🤫. 💪🇺🇸

If it were mine I’d lower the ride height, which is easily done. More options is always good!

[@brianlorenz9632]

ill say it again. i hate how people say portals aren’t scale. its not a fictional axle type. they are real and can be put underneath any real rig. bronco never had dig so is that not scale according to you? it is scale as well. can put an atlas transfer case in any rig. bronco never had 4 link rear with coilovers. so is that not scale? when people say portals aren’t scale i just laugh and they loose a credibility in my book. i guess unimogs aren’t real and my buddies toyota with 404s underneath it lol.

[@westdesertwheeler]

I get what you mean. But I like that this Bronco has straight axles, it is more appropriate on this era truck. I’ve seen a 4 link Bronco with an atlas but it definitely didn’t have portals. I’m a big fan of portals on RCs. This truck I prefer the straight axle.

[@timsgta]

Hood scoop looks stupid...

[@quadflopper1012]

nice looking RC but $600 is just too much, between the government wanting to stick it to everyone who fly RC's, the continually increasing cost of new ground RC vehicles, and the curious way there is suddenly starting to be a shortage of replacement parts for older RC's, the hobby is rapidly getting too regulated and expensive to be fun anymore, but it is a nice looking RC...
