Preordered one today. As long as it fits will be throwing a CCxRC motor in it first think. Then just some brass to keep the rubber side down. Then it’s down the rabbit hole really. Serves, wheels, tires, maybe over drive gears to the front.
I always wanted the AX-10 but never pulled the trigger. This one is getting added to my collection. 👍 1st Mod will be some beadlock wheels & tires with inserts...
@@2fmrc I’m all for keep worm gears…at least for the crawlers. I don’t even think about them. I’m just glad that currently available parts work with them. Honestly, links don’t bother me for RTR either. The motor however. That’s an easy and cheap fix I think they should’ve fixed for a crawler like this.
I like it. Might even add one to my collection but, I REALLY wish Axial would revamp the Wraith and bring it back. A new 10th scale Wraith would be sweet.
As an original AX-10 owner who still has and drives the rig, this video was great! I love my old school Scorpion and I was delighted when I found out Axial would be remaking it. I don't currently own any 1/24th scale cars but I just ordered this new AX24 today. I cant wait! Haha
Great review Matt, I’m in!! As a 45yo kid myself I feel you on the AX-1, it came out when I was out of RC. My dive back in was in 2012 with a TA02 touring car and I’ve been neck deep since. The new truck seems like natural progression for someone that has all the scale 1/24s but doesn’t care to spend 1/10 money on 1.0 custom comp rigs or ‘flex Friday’.
I really liked my 4ws scx24 and the slt3 is probably my favorite rtr remote. They even brought it in at a price range close to the scx24. Great new release from axial
People are gonna eat this up, however sorta reminds me of the Losi 24th scale rock crawlers from like 10 years ago. Makes me think that Losi was way ahead of the game with their micros back then but the market wasn't ready. That being said it's a very good time for us guys who love modifying and building the micro vehicles, my 24th scale collection is gonna get one car bigger haha
Right? I loved my Losi Micro Trail Trekker. But I broke a transmission gear in it and can't find a replacement anywhere. I got a C10 Scx24 to fill the void. But this AX24 is more what I would prefer.
I installed 3mm OD 1mm ID silicone orings on the shock shafts inside the body to help with the bounciness, a drop or two of shock oil will give them some lubrication... not oil filled, but alot better than stock. I also installed them on every pivot ball on my rigs to take out the extra slop out. I can't share the link, I purchased them on Amazon. I just thought I would share.
Upgrades would be quite a bit, especially since its basically double front axles now. Think the AS-1 servo is exactly same but may have a bit of voltage boost to it from the new esc. Will still probably burn out just as fast as they always did. So upgrade double servos, double steering linkages to eliminate slop, double brass knuckles ( plastic is a fail point at the knuckle pivot) definite motor upgrade (prolly PN90), brass hex wideners ( thing looks narrow next to your shark) down low brass ( diffs covers, possible wheel weights in front), wheels and tires. Would get nickel and dimed to death on it and cost more than a 1:10 scale but has potential with mods.
That is so cool! Soon after I saw the 4WS feature and the Spektrum transmitter and esc/receiver combo it has, I called my local hobby store and asked them to reserve a green one for me. Cool video by the way! 😸
This thing reminds me of the Basher Rocksta but in that obvious Axial style. I just wish it were a mini MOA. I’ve been focusing on getting my Dashex Z2 MOA axles running properly on a Furitek Scythe II chassis. Basically built an RC4WD Bully II but in 24 scale. I’m sure there’s something on someone’s drawing board that will be similar to what’s going on in the niche 24 scale groups right now. Real rock crawling is taking place at this scale and it’s impressive to say the least. It’s not just trail trucking, it’s cliff hanging with near impossible lines. But these little 24 are making it happen. It's come so far in the last few years. I hope t see some companies embrace what's taking place and starting building out more metal chassis and components for them from the factory. I say make them the rigs they can be, they'll sell like hotcakes.
@@scalebuildersguild 4:01 The skid is smooth on the bottom with longitudinal ridges. All other SCX24 skids have a bump-out for the transmission output gear and no ridges. I'm not sure about how it affects performance, but it is different.
I wish I could get excited about 1/24 scale. I own 2 scx24's. The problem is , at 51 years old, my fingers can't manipulate those tiny fasteners that well and the frustration working on these KILLS the fun. I am happy for those that can enjoy these, but 1/15 is minimum for me😕
I love the smaller scale stuff, but I was hoping this was going to be the 18th scale Capra w/ 4WS. So, that'll probably be the route I go for myself. My kids, on the other hand, will probably get this. :P
I personally feel a less toy grade "looking" more Capra or ryft style for their first drop of the year really would have set it off and I mean come on oil shock is becoming a necessity I believe
Cant wait for this beast of a unit. Did not like the size of the trx4ms or the capra. 24/th is where its at for me. Best indoor size for the carpet mountain Ive built. This thing is going to be so awesomis!
Pretty cool, I kinda want one. There are a lot of guys saying on social media they wish a all new 1/10 trail/scale truck from Axial but I don't think the SCX10.3 is that old. When was the last all new 1/10 truck from Element or Traxxas?
I absolutely agree. Modifying and competing with 1/24 scale rigs is rapidly growing in popularity. Hell, I myself have modded my enduro24 trailrunner. Definitely gonna have to add this to my collection.
24th scale isn’t for me and I understand that but variety is the spice of life. Hope this release works out for Axial. Matt you bringing your budget build SCX24 to PLBTF? It fits the survival theme lol
Good to see a 4WS RTR. I think the first upgrade would have to be a more powerful motor possibly brushless for all the brass upgrades and then more supportive tires. Look forward to see your upgrades. Thank you again for the very informative video.
Hi Matt thanks for sharing this AMAZING truck with us Sir. I really like it. The market is HUGE fox the 24th scale. Hope you are having a great week and your weekend is even better 🇬🇧🇨🇦🕊️✌🏼🤩🤟🏼
I will get one at sometime. As far as first mods, probably it would be to the shocks. Throwing shade for bushings is funny but coming with even more of a bouncy shocks then the other 24's kinda lame.
You're such a KNIT LMBO 😂🤣 The 4ws and Rock Crawler chassis is a scaled down par to it's Great Grandpa 🤠😆🏁 Looks like Furitek is gonna sell some more Motor ESC combo's... Makes sense for Axial to not update the worm drive and power plant ... Nice show and tell Matthew 💯 ✌🤠👍 HFLPRCing =Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing 👍😎👍 AOAH =Association of Addicted Hobbiest 🙏 SSPH =Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friend
If you were in 4-wheel steering mode and full lock One Direction, and then flipped the switch to 2 wheel steering ...well the rear wheels automatically Center or do you have to center the rear wheels before flipping the switch? I've noticed on some of my RC cars that if I just turn off the transmitter, in a full left or right position, then the servo would position that's why I'm asking.
Apparently I enjoy the scale side more than I realized. There really isn’t much to draw me in here - 4WS is really the only intriguing item to note, if I’m completely honest. I’m sure I’d have a blast driving one, no doubt, but for some reason the last couple of Axial releases have appeared to be cousins of a Walmart buy with higher price tags. To be fair, I have not seen this one or the UTB18 in person. It’s just that my gut reaction is I would rather buy another SCX24 Gladiator or finally try a TRX-4M if I decide to part with this much of my money. With that said, I’m sure these are a ton of fun and will sell like crazy. Thank you for another awesome review!
I don't think that I will be getting one. I just can't seem to get into the 24th scale scene. I think I would of been more impressed with an updated version of the 10th Scale model. Especially since the original came out before I was into RC crawling.
very nice. i thought maybe they would release an 18th ish scale to compete with traxxas but they are doing such a good job on the 24's that it makes sense to stay. on harley designs page i called an 18th scale wraith or wraith spawn but this is close. maybe we'll get a wraith at the end of the year. y'all have a badass day \m/
Seeing as I had a spare set of 1inch Injora wheels I felt it was my duty to preorder 1 of these along with a set of RC4WD Scrambler tires , I hate this hobby *LOL* , and I'll be keeping an eye out for alloy chassis and steering links, that was a big upgrade on my SCX24
just when i thought i was done building scx24's. I stil have my ax10 chasis, never getting rid of it since it was my first crawler. Have a few of them built, now i will do the 24 scale. When do they come out ? They all say available to preorder

Both of those guys are cool.
Great little rig for sure but I'm about to turn 40 and am more interested in that sweater at this point, looks comfy AF haha
forget the car the sweater is the star of this episode. I love the sweater, good job wife!
Thanks!

You guys should do a 24th scale terrain build off series.

1st Mod will be some beadlock wheels & tires with inserts...
Yes the OG Axial stuff was great they set the mark for everything we drive now
This is the perfect rig for the the new 1/24 injora buggy frame that looks like a mini axial capra, such timing hehe.
🤔Thanks a lot…now you’ve got me thinking I may need one of these. Your idea sounds like a perfect match if it works!
Right on! Excited about this. Glad they kept the axles the same. That’ll make for some easy upgrades right away
And there’s a ton of upgrades on the way apparently!
@@scalebuildersguild I saw! They look great
Would’ve been nice to get rid of the junk dog bones and worm gears though. I preordered but this one is kinda half done imo
@@2fmrc I’m all for keep worm gears…at least for the crawlers. I don’t even think about them. I’m just glad that currently available parts work with them.

That flat bottom skid is new from Axial. Great overview!
Yep, I stand corrected!
Bought my Orange AX24 two or three weeks ago and I love it! Bone stock right now, but new wheels, tires, weights coming soon!
I've been cutting switchbacks into the plow piles near me. Several days of an inch or so of new snow has made for many fresh tracks for c10.
This will be added to my small crawlers as well. Definitely like how they set up the 4 wheel steering.
I like it. Might even add one to my collection but, I REALLY wish Axial would revamp the Wraith and bring it back. A new 10th scale Wraith would be sweet.

About time that Mr Roger's finally reviewed real toys, wait, hey Matt. The rig looks good and it's great that Axial I'd going back to their basics.

SOLD ! ! ! That's the next truck in my collection. Great Video Sir..

Oooh matt. You might just have changed my mind about this. I actually want one now. Dang it.

Would get nickel and dimed to death on it and cost more than a 1:10 scale but has potential with mods.
I like it. Definitely going to have to add it to my fleet of vehicles!
The SLT3 transmitter came stick with my Basecamp and it feels great. Awesome that they implemented it with a truck of this size.
I like the SLT3 radio. Can use a tactic tr325 or spektrum slr300 receiver to run brushless.
Love love that little thing!
I still have my Losi Micro Rock Crawler TVP chassis! Oh the nostalgia. Axial tapping into it with this little guy.
Thats a pretty cool little truck for 1/24 RTR
Thanks a ton.
Excellent cold open. 10/10.
Definitely didn't see them launching this today
That is so cool! Soon after I saw the 4WS feature and the Spektrum transmitter and esc/receiver combo it has, I called my local hobby store and asked them to reserve a green one for me. Cool video by the way! 😸
Thanks for watching!
not a bad sweeter that :) Will be good to see the comparison between them. Thanks for the vid.
I’ll have to pick one of these up to have a 1/24 version of my AX10!

DEFINITELY getting one of these!!! 👍👍 As always, good, thorough look, Matt!
Awesome! Thank you!
Well I may have to redesign my small scale corse before I build it lol. This truck will definitely devour the course I had in mind.
The skid on the AX24 is different from every other SCX24. The servos may be getting 6v (rather than 5v) from the new 2-in-1 electronics.
The transmission skid is exactly the same. The slider elements are different.
@@scalebuildersguild 4:01 The skid is smooth on the bottom with longitudinal ridges. All other SCX24 skids have a bump-out for the transmission output gear and no ridges. I'm not sure about how it affects performance, but it is different.
@@derrickwilliams2903 ah you’re right my apologies. I think I was thinking about the trans and it’s mount positions. All good.

Looks some sweet, I cant wait to get one of these. Wish I could get my hands on a 10 scale version. Awesome video.
Welcome to Sweater Builder's Guild

Definitely needs inner fenders. Could be an interesting crawler bodyshell.
Pretty cool rig. Not my style, but can still appreciate a cool rc!

Yup. Gotta have one of those!
Thank you for not having some forced intro. They can be ok, but got very stale. Its refreshing having a change in your intro videos. Nicely done. 💪
Forced intro? I don't understand. Every cold open is off the cuff.
Feed it make it grow into a ax10. Axial needs to make the ax10 available again.
A scale builders guild 1/24 indoor course build would be awesome.
Great vid as always! Gotta be motor and shocks. Power, less noise and get rid of that bounciness…
Good to see a 4WS RTR. I think the first upgrade would have to be a more powerful motor possibly brushless for all the brass upgrades and then more supportive tires. Look forward to see your upgrades. Thank you again for the very informative video.
Kind of like it but will wait to see what motor and shock options come out before buying.
Gotta grab one to go with my Ax-10
I made this Sweater, well actually I put it on.... On another note, "Crab Mode" also reminds me of ... My Truck needs an alignment mode. ;)
Should be able to bind any SLT receivers like the tactic tr325 with built in antenna or spektrum slr300 for brushless.
Funny i just picked up a used XR10 to get back in the hobby, its cool to see "Comp" style crawlers are still a thing ^-^
Welcome back to the hobby!

For a 4ws comp style that looks extremely top heavy 😂

Extra power in the servos might be due to the new esc.
This will be fun.Slightly smaller more grippy tire and some heavier wheels with offset.Should be good to go.

Well, it ends up that my Daughter likes the looks of it because it doesn't look like a truck, so I pre-ordered one for her. LOL.
Have to call it the orange Jello truck because it's so bouncy
Where can I buy one of those squares with the wholes for holding end while soldering. Please an thank you

Definitely want 1
The sweater gives me Mr rogers vibes. Matt is the Mr rodgers of the rc community 😂
I take that as a compliment!
Matt! 🙂that's a cardigan your wife made 👍
Will definitely have to pick one up. Shocks, brass and a furitek system possibly?? What do you think about motor and esc?
Very cool!
I have one on preorder from White Rose hobbies.
I thinking of getting the Controller for my SCX 24 Chevy C10 im wanting to give it rear steering
Personally I’m super excited on this one. Living with a budget i feel like this is a great platform to get into c3 runs.
It's a bit small for C3, but I like your Moxie!
It’s ok,nice to see more smaller RC’s. But I’ll stick to my Trx4M
I wonder if you can use the electronics on the scx24
Next, they need to bring out a 1/16 scale XR-10, that would sell like Oreo's😋
Seeing as I had a spare set of 1inch Injora wheels I felt it was my duty to preorder 1 of these along with a set of RC4WD Scrambler tires , I hate this hobby *LOL* , and I'll be keeping an eye out for alloy chassis and steering links, that was a big upgrade on my SCX24
