Awesome car with great specs. Have fun at the Axial Fest Fil.
@@RCBirds thanks, Dirk! 👍🏻
Hey Fil, I can see why you are so stoked about this truck. Tons of cool features and upgrade options, plus it looks so freaking good! And it passed your test run with flying colours! I was a bit concerned about that clicking from the transmission, I wonder if they all do that? Great video, stay excellent dude! 😎🦫👍
@MarkBryanRC thanks, Mark! It sure is a good looking rig. These highly detailed bodies are something to admire. As for the clicking trans, I'm going to inspect it a little further. But if my old man memory is right, these SCX10 III's all did that. It was a big deal when they came out a few years ago. But I'm gonna disassemble it and give it a once over just to be safe. Thanks for watching! 👊🏼 😎
Hey! You beat me, Mark!!! That's one deep, thick box. Looks like it will take a pounding.
You are up early Paul! But not early enough to beat me! Yeah baby! 😎😅🦫👍
@@Paul__FC Bwahahahahaha!!!!! 🦫
@@MarkBryanRC hahahaha! 😂
Haha doing the Sam Sulek cap mic. For anyone else reading this… if you know, you know. Welcome to crawler heaven. I’m getting ready to resto-mod a Radio Shack Golden Arrow. Do you have one yet? Love the channel.
Sam totally stole the hat mic from me. Lol! 😂
I've never had a Golden Arrow, but man, are they sweeeet! Good luck with the resto, and welcome to the show! 🍻👊🏼
Really nice Fil! Love a big box 🤣😂 The details on that body shell are brilliant and I am sure you are going to have a blast with it at Axialfest 🙌🏻
@@theoagrc thanks, Craig! I'm super excited to go! It's been many years in the making... 😉
what a great rig, have fun at axial fest👍
@@MechanicallyFun thanks, pal! 🍻
Have fun at axialfest! I gave up on axial. They have become junk since the 10.2. I still have my gladiator just because of the body. They did a great job on the body! I also got the grey one!
@@TheRCBuildersPost thanks, dude! Too bad you've fallen out with Axial. But man, that Gladiator body is so nice, hey? 🤩
Awesome
@joasama9763 thanks for watching! 👊🏼
Have fun at axial fest.
Thanks, brother!
Your going to have a blast!
Thanks pal! I think it's gonna be awesome! 👌
Yeah, man, what an awesome machine! I think this is pretty much the top of the pops when it comes to an RTR crawler/trailtruck! Axial seems really nice quality! Very neat function with the dig, I have never tried that before...
I hope you're having a great trip there, dude, lots of fun, lots of RC'ing and watch stuff, hopefully a few good brews in the evenings, dude!
@@madsrcbuggy you said it, pal. There's gonna be tons of great action, lots of cool rigs, and you know I'll make sure to get an IPA or two in me. 🍻👊🏼
Thats a huge wheelbase. I've got 12.8 wheelbases with my Rochobby Mashigan with leafs. Talk about a challenge. Excited to see what you will do with this one, should be good thanks to your varied perspective. Keep it up!
12.8" WB on leafs mus the interesting... Haha! Hey, it's nice to have a challenge while driving these things, isn't it? Thanks for commenting! 👊🏼
It ran great out there but that drivetrain does sound a bit crunchy! Something does sound off to it. Hopefully it is something that will wear in! Have fun with it and have fun at Axialfest.
Yeah, it's a little crunchy, isn't it? Lol! Hopefully if it pops, it pops in grand fashion! Lol!
FIRST!!!! Lets see what it's all aboot! 😅😅👍👍
@MarkBryanRC hahaha, it's aboot good looks. It's aboot functionality. It's aboot Axialfest 2024!!! 😂😂😂
Really nicely detailed and well built! Crawls superbly :) and love the clanky motor :) and didn’t realize how tricky it can be to drive!
@tm_vis-rc it's just tricky when you find yourself wearing Birkenstocks while filming, driving, talking, trying not to die. 🤣
@@poorboysrc hahahah!
I have the scx10lll but in the shorter wheelbase (bronco). Never used the 2 speed but love the dig. All I have done is weight bias mods. Fun truck. Enjoy!
@andrewcaldrewood2387 awesome, good to hear! I do have some brass goodies coming, so hopefully that'll help with performance. 😎
What an awesome rc! Definitly feeling the excitment in the unboxing👍 Makes me want to get out and crawl.
@JIPPERR_1 yeah I was pretty excited when this bad-boy showed up! It's a very different crawling experience. Time to charge a pack, and go for a rip! 😎
@@poorboysrc love your take on this one, its an interesting rc with the long wheelbase it will have certain pros and cons that can make for a more interesting drive. That spear grass was thick though! My feet hurt thinking about it
@JIPPERR_1 haha yeah buddy, it's pretty prickly at times. I love that spot, the grass/rocks/moss is always changing. 👌
Hey Fil, just saying hello pal. Great video as always. I mentioned before that I do not have a large scale crawler. And have had my eye on the Rlarrlo MK07, and the Redcat Ascent Fusion. Now you got me thinking I may need to get one of these. I'm considering selling some of my cars so I can get a crawler. That Jeep looks super sick. I absolutely love the surf board. Very nice touch. Have fun at Axial fest. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures. Be careful, stay safe, and have a great time brotha.
@ShawnMoreland317 hey brother, thanks for the great comment! You've got your eyes on a couple of beauties there. Nothing wrong with selling off some older kits to make room for some new ones. The SCX10 III is all sorts of awesome! If you get one, you won't regret it. Cheers! 🍻👊🏼
Nice! I got the build up kit version ( regular jeep version) I really love this platform. I was curious about the classic SCX210.3 Transmission clicking... yup, I think it is all of em. Cheers
Ok, phew, I thought it was just a thing they all do. I remember building mine a few years ago and the inking drove me nuts! 😂
I'll see ya there!! My first time. Had to buy my first Axial as well just to go. CJ7
@@EricsRC right on, dude! Be sure to say hi! I'll be rockin' the Poor Boys swag, so you should be able to spot me. 🍻
@@poorboysrc For sure! I'll have the CJ7 with a driver flippin the bird!
@EricsRC haha, perfect! See ya there! 🖕🤣👊🏼
axial make some crackin rigs. can u fit proline hyrax tyres because those things are awesome. i put them on my scx10ii and it was a huge difference. great stuff mate. nice to see an axial. always a pleasure👍
I've heard nothing but good things about Proline Hyrax tires. I might have to pick a set up! Thanks for the tip, mate! 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc the massive treads might rub the body is something to look into . they are 1.9 with a bit extra due to the grips .
@rc-dom-uk I'll check into that then, appreciate the heads up, Dom! 👍🏻
Dude! I want that crawler
They're so awesome!!! You gotta grab one, amigo! 👌😎
Damn, that's one big box. When will this year's speed run challenge be announced?
@andyknuckles2903 haha, isn't it?!?! 🤣
July 15th, all the 2024 SRC Rules are coming out!
Get some spare lexan if you have some and make some under plates. I dont have a crawler yet but we have plenty of great spot in the lpcak jungle here in Kuala Lumpur.
@@kanenstuff that's a good idea! Thanks, pal! 👊🏼
@poorboysrc well it's beer o'clock here so that helps the ideas roll out 🍻
@@kanenstuff Hahaha, beer O'Clock is the best time for idea generating! :)
Im not huge into trail trucks or crawlers, but i do have a few. I have a Traxxas High Trail (with the '79 F150 body in black, sexy asf) Got a trailer for it too, so i cam pull around my Sand Scorcher, or my Kyosho Beetle. (If you don't have a Kyosho Beetle, you should get one! I put a Castle SC sidewinder set up in mine and it's absolutely mental)
This Axial was the other one i was looking at. I chose the Traxxas, mostly because my boss has the Axial, and we are competitive lol can't have the same one as him now, can I?
Do they look good when they're new or what???
Dude, they're SO nice to look at! I can imagine how nice that '79 Ford of yours is... 🤤 🤤 🤤
As for the Kyosho Beetle, I've got the closest thing to it, the Turbo Scorpion. And funny enough, I'm also running a Castle Sidewinder 3 6900kv bl system in it, and it's SO AWESOME!!! I save it for the big beaches only. Check out this video I made with it a few years ago... czcams.com/video/giVrdyHbOoY/video.html
Fil are you a surfer
@leehurst6922 I surfed a little bit in my younger years. When I took up power-lifting in my 30's, my ability to surf went out with the tide, lol! 🏄♂️
I've snowboarder my whole life, and even with being a bigger guy, I'm still able to do that. But I lost a lot of mobility with power-lifting, and that killed my ability to surf.
Now that I'm recovering from my back injury, I've had to give up power-lifting. So I'm working toward gaining my movement back, and getting back on a surf board again. It'll take another year or two, but I'll get there. 🏄♂️ 🌊 😎
I can see you buying a real Jeep after you get back home Fil. 🤣
Hahaha, oh man, I would love one of these! I'm a cheap-ass though, and can't justify the $100k price tag! 😳
@@poorboysrcfor that price 100k I would get the C8 Corvette lol
@@JeepsCafe Haha, never enough toys, right? :)
@@poorboysrc heck yeah
That car don’t sound right definitely needs a strip down and going over
@@James-bristol yeah she's a little crunchy, right? I'm tearing it down today. 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc enjoying the videos great work
@@James-bristol thanks, pal! I love making them, so I'll keep going as long as you guys keep watching! 👊🏼🍻
I’ve had my 10.3 for a couple years and really enjoy it. I swapped out the motor for the FOC and added two light controllers from MyTrickRC. The Dragon DG1 and a UF7R. Great for the halo lights and a couple rock crawler light options as well as adding dash lights. The Hyrax along with some RoboSlug inserts made a big difference.
It’s a fun RC.

Awesome, thanks for the tips, Trey. Any thoughts on the clucking transmission? I remember my SCX10 III trans clicked a lot, too. But I'm just wondering if that's normal, or if I should look into fixing it?
@@poorboysrc If it was me I’d open the portals and regrease. As well as CAREFULLY pull apart the transmission to inspect. The transmission. Mine does not click like that. You might also check the two speed servo/position. If it’s not fully in low or high you might get that clicking.
@All_RC_Fun awesome tips, thanks Trey! I'm on it! 👊🏼
