Rich, any plans on making the hidden body posts available as a group of various sizes/shapes, like the bag-o-posts that’s in the kit? It would be great to utilize the hidden mount system with aftermarket bodies.

Speaking for myself, but I'm sure many others agree, we're pumped to have you here reading, listening and answering.
Despite the criticisms of this new truck, and from what I've seen most of it has been small complaints, I hope you are taking away that most of us love what you and your Horizon crew are doing with Axial since taking it over. I sincerely mean that.
It's no secret that I was not a big fan of the SCX10 II mainly due to the lack of quality. That meant this truck had more to prove to me on a personal level and you appear to have met my expectations. You are really stepping up the quality side of Axial and I believe this truck is what the II should have been. You have also added innovations to this truck such as the hidden body clips as a small example. I'm not completely finished with my build yet and I surely haven't had the chance to run it and test its performance and durability, but I already feel both will be at a high level. Well done. "thumbsup"
BTW I will try the included tires out.
What plugs are you speaking of?
That looks sick!

I'm watching this through our customer service (every call is documented in a data base that I can review)..right now we're sticking with the design as is. FB and forums tend to blow these out of proportion, if you guys knew the numbers of these reports to the number of vehicles out there, you might have a different opinion of the issue.
I'm not saying we wont address if it becomes a serious issue internally. I will be following up with the vendor to make sure they are being consistent with mold times and processes etc.
We did some serious drop testing on that front corner over and over and over, actually failing the pan hard bar link itself.
I'll be watching.

No, super hard without having the 3d files from other companies etc. A lot of these other body makes don't have an actual 3D file as they hand make body bucks. With so many bodies out there, it would make it almost impossible to come up with these hidden body posts that would work.
Wish i could though.

Jato..... the “plugs” are the core from the leather punch I use, most tires the plugs come out as cylinders, these looked like hourglass’s....

Ah OK thanks. I am just going to use the stock holes in the wheels instead of venting the tires. The foams seem soft enough and the truck is heavy enough that the tire should still deform for obstacles.

I swapped out the wheels already, but tires and foams seem pretty good.

It seems like no matter what you buy, and when you buy it, something potentially cooler is only 1-4 months away.

As someone who's custom-built computers for people for 25+ years, I know that one all too well. Computers & RCs have one major thing in common: upgrading is a never-ending process.

"The rubber found in aftermarket tire companies is far more expensive and different..making it cost prohibitive...and even if we did include killer compounds 90% of users would still change them out or say they suck LOL."
100% agree! Trying to spec a kit with a tire that meets everyone's criteria is akin to saddling and riding a Unicorn. Won't happen and does not exist.

Oh boy, I've got tear the transmission apart. There is a super weird ticking noise coming out of it. Something is hitthing something or there is some crap between the gear teeth.
I already detached the driveshafts completely, tried to disengage dig and changed gears, yet still, tick tick tick as I slowly run the trans. Going fast you can't separate the sound any more, but going slow it's very noticeable.
Anyone else had any weird standout noises coming out of the trans?

I purposely tried to block the air holes with the wheel faces and they move air no matter what.
These are noisy transmissions. Some videos I've seen have them clicking.

I had nothing like that with my transmission. I did have that in front and rear axles though. I found that I had tightened the diff covers too tight. once I back the screws out a smidge the clicking went away.
When you tear down the tranny to inspect, and if everything is good, make sure when putting it back together you don't crank on them like a grey back gorilla as I did with my diff covers! :lmao:

took my scx3 out today after building it during the week and as above the truck doesnt seem to be as quiet going forward as it is in reverse and when you move the wheels by hand you can feel its a bit clicky/notchy feeling but in reverse it feels a bit smoother and would loosening off the casings as suggested above be the plan for this or is this if noisey forwards and backwards and if so what should i look for?
also alloy beadlocks...might get some cheaper ones off ebay and are they the same rims that fit the trx4? and also will the scx and scx2 compatible rims fit?
cheers.

Yup. I caught this video when it showed up in my notifications this morning.
I'm going to have to tear down my transmission to see if I did it correctly or not. I haven't powered mine up yet.
Rich just mentioned that video in his life stream that Axial is doing right now.
