It looks like Axial Racing has finally got their website updated with some real information, pictures, and even a video of their until now secret Axial Wraith. No lie, watching the video gave me chills! I’m not sure what it is that has me so pumped up about this truck. Maybe the fact that it looks [...]
Axial just posted up a teaser of their new rock racer, the Wraith, which is still pending an official announcement. There’s not anything new in this video, but it sure does look cool. Check out the video after the break, then hit up Axial’s website to patiently await the official announcement, coming in a couple weeks.
Last week we received a few pictures from a reader of what looked like a possible rock racer coming from Axial. This week we received this picture. Maybe it’s a mud racer? That or this guy has never heard of a car wash! Rumor mill has it this thing may pop up in a very limited release around mid [...]
Looking to add some strength, bling, and better heat transfer to your XR10 Crawler? Axial Racing’s new heavy duty gear plate has your covered. Precision machined from billet aluminum, the plate is 4mm thick at the motor mount, and designed to dissipate heat quickly and efficiently for better perfomance and all-day crawling. It even comes with three [...]
A reader just sent in a link to a few images of what may be a Axial rock racer in the near future! Now were talking! I always enjoyed having the ‘fastest’ rock crawler when I was at events.. while others were climbing, I was jumping! I’m excited to see where this goes. We don’t have a lot of [...]
We would like to start off by thanking Jeff and Axial for their time, and for being the first in one of our new segments where we talk to people at the top of the fastest moving companies in RC. These interviews are not just with the company PR guys, we go as high up the food chain as possible, [...]
To paraphrase Lee Iacocca Charles Wilson, as goes full scale, so goes our hobby. Axial has a new set of large tires for rock crawlers, and in the announcement for the new Ripsaws Axial says Within the 1:1 crawl & off-road race segments, overall tire diameters have been on the rise, literally and directly influencing the R/C crawl segment… [...]
Axial is expanding it’s RR line of budget nitro engines for bashers and weekend warriors. Their new .21RR-1 engine is Axial’s first .21 size engine for 1/8 scale buggies and totally fricken awesome 1/10 scale cars and trucks. But being for bashers doesn’t mean that they took any shortcuts in it’s design. It’s got that fancy ABC construction, a 7-port [...]
Axial really wants the budget bashers to open up their wallets today. Their new, low-cost, 2.4, 2-channel radio is about as bare bones as you can get. The AX-2 features throttle and steering trims, plus servo reversing. And… a wheel for steering… and a trigger for throttle control… oh and there’s an on/off switch too! Ok, so it doesn’t really have [...]
Axial has partnered up with Castle Creations to develop a new ESC for the budget minded rock crawlers in the crowd. The AE-2 is a fairly simple and straight-forward ESC that comes from the factory programmed with drag brake and zero delay forward/reverse. In addition, it is also programmable with Castle’s CastleLink programmer, has a preprogrammed cutoff for 2s LiPos, [...]
Axial‘s flagship crawler, the XR10, is a tough truck. But even the toughest trucks can be improved, and Axial is aware of that. There’s now a bunch of new options to further bullet-proof your ride. Axial promises that their new lightweight, CNC machined gears will not only be more durable, but also more efficient, the complete set will reduce the [...]
So last night while watching Mythbusters, we had another RC ON TV sighting! They were trying to cause a truck to flip similar to a scene in the Hellboy movie where something smashes the front end of a truck, and the vehicle flips end over end. Mythbusters does a lot of RC, but usually [...]
Good friend of Big Squid RC, Rodney Wills (seen here in a blurry shot with yours truly) has left HPI Racing and headed off to Axial! Rodney had been with HPI for a while, and I think it’s an interesting move in the RC industry. It reminds me of another recent Axial addition. It’s great to see [...]
Well, they need you if you know what you are doing. Our friends from Axial have let us know that they are looking for a qualified product designer to work out of their so-cal office! How awesome is that?! If you have some engineering and design skills and want to apply them to some kick a$$ RC projects, [...]
Axial is releasing a little upgrade kit for the RTR AX10 and SCX10 trucks called the RTR Steering Upgrade Kit. This kit replaces the stock plastic steering links and increases strength and precision with aluminum steering links. Check out Axial’s site for details.
