AX90002 AX10 Rock Racer RTR

 (3 customer reviews)

The scorpion rock crawler is a good start for a competition crawler. However, if you want to get serious into rock crawling, you will need to make some upgrades. I would suggest an all metal gear servo, steel controll arms and to install the locker for the front axle. I put in these upgrades right when I bought this truck from HobbyTown and they work great. I would also suggest adding sticky rim weights into the wheels and cutting the inner tire fome into a "gear pattern" to give you maximum grip. This crawler will climb up rock and dirt piles and over anything you throw at it. Overall I think axial did a good job with this product and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

This crawler is a good start for a competition crawler. However, if you want to get serious into rock crawling, you will need to have the front diff lock. after installing the diff lock it became a real rock crawler also it was very good driving it on sand dunes.
Overall this crawler worth the money.

First, let me say that this review is NOT for a Rock Crawler. I picked up this RTR version of Axial's wildly popular AX10 kit, and decided to make it a true racer.

On went a new Castle Mamba Max motor/ESC combo. I also switched out the stock pinion/spur gears with a 31T pinion, and 73T Traxxas spur gear for their Bandit.

I switched out the stock shocks with Traxxas "Big Bore" shocks, with limiters between the shock piston and shock body. I also used the softest springs I could find, as this set-up would be STIFF over jumps (hard on the chassis), but you get the torque twist inherent in this design (strangely, it looks like a dog wanting to shake hands under full throttle).

I replaced the tires with Proline "Flatiron" tires, and on went a new body, worthy of the title of racer. With a Spektrum transmitter/receiver, to "tailor" the power delivery, this little machine flat hauls! With it's FWD drivetrain, full powerslides around corners are easy as they...Read more
