Is The Hype Real?! Rock Crawling The Sparc Drive SA-10 Axles!

In this video I install the new SA-10 axles from Sparc Drive and put them to the test on the rocks! This is a follow up to my initial look at these axles, which you can view here: • These Are The Most Adv...

For $500. Ill go with a set of vanquish axles. It's a cool concept but I just don't see $500 here.

[@PleasureAfterWorkRcCrawlers]

I am sorry, but you should have put at least a 1080 inside to show a bit of smooth crawling. With the stock setup electronics, at least I, do not really see what the axles are capable to do...I can maybe imagine how it would work smoothly...

[@NEO-RC]

Really cool concept and execution but at the same time, for the $500 price tag, would really like to see better quality axle housings and more derailed specs on their website. Still, really good innovative axles.

[@vinniemelendez5337]

Meh takes the realistic scale driving experience away for me 🙃. Cool innovation but not very practical and a tad expensive ✌🏻

[@BetriebAnin]

I know that this is the first product from a new company and nobody’s ever made anything like this, but $500 is a bit steep. I also know that the price for that kind of stuff goes down over time with success. I could see myself buying a set for $350-$400, but not a TRX4. It just needs time to sell.

[@idiot_RC]

$600 for the ultimate kit? Lol...interesting concept and innovative design, but I don't see the point. This doesn't seem to do anything practical that a rig with dig or 4ws can't do, and respectfully, that course isn't challenging enough to really put anything to the test (if a rig can complete a course on the atrocious factory tires and electronics that come on an Ecto, it's a very easy course). Factor in the initial price and the questions about what happens when any of these extremely proprietary components break (how much does it cost to replace a stripped gear, bad motor or bugged control module?), and I just don't ever see this being anything other than a very expensive gimmick. I think the biggest real-world performance gain you'll get from these will be the unsprung weight gain.

I’m sorry to say but it looks a total mess. That’s a no from me. Thanks anyway Adam 😎

[@08wjp]

$600 dollars for axles.....no

[@seanduletzke1412]

I really like the axles. I preordered a set of the ultimates. I am going to do a little more research on the technology , so I can understand and operate all the different stuff these axles offer.I already have a ecto, going to up grade my servo to reefs and new shocks.

[@byrddmann0113]

I'm not seeing the big price tag for these. An Element Ecto can do about the same & you get a whole rc vehicle that's way under $500.00

[@alxe24]

Nice stress test and general run but it really didn’t indicate if the rig got any better with those axles.

[@henrywood5462]

Kinda makes it look like those toys with motors in the axles

[@Father450X]

Thanks for sharing that information. Those are step forward in the rc world for sure. I can see them slowly catching on.

[@WombleRCmodelsandhobbies]

Thanks for the vid . The axels are a realy interesting concept,they looked to perform realy well out on the rocks with some tight lines . Id like to see how they hold up long term maby on uk terrain 😉

[@rcjoe406]

I like high tech and innovation so ya i like em 😊

[@OGRadGrow]

Performance is insane. Nice 👍🏾🔥

[@maxpaul11]

Really cool stuff! Wow!

[@Crawlingrc3903]

Yeah these axles seem really neat

[@ogcrawler]

I would love to try these out. Could be a big game changer.
