I just got back in to the hobby after about 10 years. Finally bought some upgrades for my stock SCX10 Honcho while you guys are getting the 3rd version. Scale RC certainly has gotten better after all these years.
@@AMain_Hobbies Brett. Actually, I had a couple other crawler projects going on; so, I haven't even opened the box yet. Just watched all the related SCX10 III videos out there...including yours...LOL And, I did take the time to order a few more items from AMain to complete the build.
Wow, that was a massive amount of information for you to present. This video must have taken quite some time to film. Whew. Very well done Brett. And, as always, love them table bongos!
Nice vid Amain, mine will be here soon enough. It’s in Wyoming and on its way still, can’t wait to test this baby out. I guess I better start ordering mini servo’s and figure out the color I was to douse her with. Thank you for all my orders you folks fill there at Amain.....always a speedy arrival.👍👍👍
My favorite RC cars related Channel here on CZcams. This guy does a really good job. The only reason why I won't order from AMAIN is the fact, that I live in Germany 😁. Once again, you're doing a great job, dude. Request: Could you review brushless Crawler combos?
Looks pretty cool! Buggy and onroad racing since the 80's , I've recently purchased a Baja Rey just because of the realism. And I think you guys will have a huge market for realistic affordable kits or rtr!
Looks like they got their hidden body clip idea from the Gmade GS02 Komodo Double Cab. I might get a 10.3 in the future but, I'll probably not use the dig. I had a truck with a dig in the past and I hardly ever used it.
Wow Brett great review im droolin over here just checked it out in my local hobby shop Cen Cal Hobbies in Modesto and i cant wait to get my hands on 1 👍🏻💯
Hi Brett, awesome review of an awesome rc. You are a very good narrator, real easy to listen to lol. Hope you are all keeping well in the face of this pandemic virus 🦠, fingers crossed we can come out the other end in good health. 👍👍👍
Thank you Mikey! To you and your family as well my friend. Things are pretty rough out there for a lot of people, so I hope the video can be a little fun and offer a new R/C to look forward to. -Brett
Wow dude rc crawlers have come so long in the past 5-6 years dude i remember being 10 and modding the crap out of my scx 10 and when i was 12 i had a 3d printer and i made my own mounts and stuff and i even made "a long arm kit" and did a triangulated setup,but damn man i just cant believe how far along the scaleness has come i still got my scx10 but its just collecting dust and welp i really cant afford a new motor both on my scx10 and my heavily modified traxxas rustler (it looks good and not like a pile of cheap junk that was modded with bad taste in how it looks)
I really want to build on of these to look like my real Jeep. I have those exact tires too. LOL! Only I have a 2012 JK Unlimited....looking around for a body kit that matches well.
Excellent review! Axial still has a way to go before catching up to Traxxas TRX-4. Dig function is nice for strickly rock crawling, but for most of us, front and rear wheel locking and two speeds is more practical.
I am SOOOOOOOOO torn. Do I get it now? Do I wait (at least) a few months? Or do I skip it? I still have a Trail King Pro I haven't finished, plus a TF2 I haven't even started. Decisions, decisions.
I have a somewhat-strong feeling I'll not only get the SCX10.3, but it will be 'sooner', rather than 'later'...NOT that I've already ordered it (I haven't), but it just became the most likely candidate for a 329mm wheelbase project I've been considering.
You have a lot of R/C on your plate right now! TF2's are fun. I had one with full shackles and links and it had some extreme flex. You have some good options. Have fun. -Brett
They are available now! There are a few body styles and colors to choose from: www.amainhobbies.com/axial-rc-trail-trucks/c9489?fb=182&s=III&fk=26_453&fb=182&lg=fb -Brett
any idea when this rig will be released? i been on back order since day i bought it on April 28. it was back ordered to may 5th, then it changed to may 24 and now it says it wont be out may 28th.
Trucks have been trickling in but not enough for all preorders, and there were a lot of preorders for the truck. Your truck should be coming in soon hopefully. It will be worth the wait, thanks for being patient. -Brett
I'm guessing from the way it looks, they don't offer a spare tire and wheel, can you order that if you want that set up and will they offer a spare tire mount
No sadly. Since it's a kit, you must supply the battery and charger, as well as the other electronic components. Congrats on getting the truck though, it looks like a fun build. -Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies That stinks Im a Big Bore type of guy 😂.. What different options would you recommend in 540 that has close equivalent power of a 550? Thanks
@@ConditionZero76 The Hobbywing Axe systems are really nice, Holmes Hobbies has some nice Brushed motors, Tekin are also great. There are a lot of options for Brushed and Brushless setups, which do you want? -Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies I currently have HH 550 Trailmaster in my Redcat but if I buy the SCX10 iii Im thinking brushless, Ive heard really good stuff about the axe as you mentioned but i wouldn't know what size for the SCX10. I almost went with the axe for my gen 8 scout I believe it was the 3300kv I was gonna buy. would the 3300 fit the axial or know? would you recommend mamba x with a different sensored brushless motor over the axe set up. I know with the Axe esc/motor your limited & cant split them up?
I NEED HELP!!!!! Please if anyone knows where to find a 1993 jeep wrangler YJ HARD BODY kit please let me know. I am trying to make an exact replica of my existing 93' Jeep. I cannot find anything beyond 09'
I'm just in the minority ... not a fan of 4 door Wranglers. Would have preferred that if they had to use a Jeep product they would have gone with Honcho or Comanche. The tech is very nice.
That's a good question but I do not know. I don't think you can just swap them over easily. It would probably require some modifications, and probably additional parts. With the motor so far forward, the II servo mount may not work, and the II battery placement would have to be moved to the back like the III. And you would need the III skid plate which may not directly bolt up to the II rails. And the front transmission output is off center on the III, but the axle is not equally off center, so that would be an extreme axle angle. It would be a lot of work, and expensive to find out. -Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies it would be beautiful if it would work i m building a landrover defender 110 pick up body for my ii but the transmission case is in the way so that i had to do a cutout on the bed With the iii transmission i wouldnt have that issue and the battery could lay in a aluminium like box in the back so that its quickly accessible. The whole body i would bolt on even if its discusting for maintenance, its more beautifull than clips and stronger than magnets
Pro-Line gave that to us at Axialfest years back. Not sure if they had them made or bought them somewhere. I think they were selling them at one point but that was a few years ago. It's very heavy, so I imagine shipping was expensive. You should shoot them an email, maybe they still have some? -Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies thank you. I did find them on prolines site but unfortunately it says they are discontinued. May email them just incase they have any left. Would make for some cool pics, my friend at work uses a full size one for his full size jeep thought itd be funny to set them up next to each other lol
Did you see the RTR was announced? Should be available soon. www.amainhobbies.com/axial-scx10-iii-jeep-jlu-wrangler-rtr-4wd-rock-crawler-orange-axi03003t2/p1224709 -Brett

Knew it wouldn’t be much longer before Axial did the portals and 2 speed trans. They wouldn’t let Traxxas stay king of the new tech hill for ever.
I think you are right about it being a great offering but I still love the 1/8 cragsman offering!
4:40 - "Nitro Trail Grappler"? I think you meant NITTO ;)
Just when you thought the second version was good they bring the third with better options. Thanks Axial for taking my stimulus, ✊
Got mine today!!! Such a nice looking crawler.
I just got back in to the hobby after about 10 years. Finally bought some upgrades for my stock SCX10 Honcho while you guys are getting the 3rd version. Scale RC certainly has gotten better after all these years.
The realism in this kit is through the roof!!! 😳Wow!!😎👌🏼👍🏻
Got my kit today, can't wait to build it.
Finally I know what a dig system is...been hearing about it a lot but never knew what is was. Thanks for the video chief.
I'm not a trail or rock crawling guy but this rig looks sick and like he said so real looking
You really should try them out you'd be surprised how fun slow is lol
He makes anything sound great I don't even like crawlers and I want this thing
Received notice that AMain was shipping out my SCX10-III yesterday (Thursday) and it arrived this morning (Friday). Wow! Quick! Thanks AMain.

I so need a kit in my life!!!!

Trx4 for the win.

Not that I know of. You could buy a pair of tires and rig one on the truck somehow.

Just a heads up to others. Do not order your kit through Amain. They are months behind on pre-orders. Ordered early march and still nothing.
That Sx107 micro servo is HOT GARBAGE. DO NOT BUY TO USE FOR THE DIG FUNCTION ON THIS CRAWLER! Ask ANY scx10.3 owner!
