The Axial AX10 Scorpion 1/10, 4WD Electric, R/C Rock Crawler ARTR (Almost
Ready-to-Run). Just add your choice of electronics, and you'll be able to
hit the rocks in shorter time than having to build your entire crawler.
The ARTR was designed from the ground up, and every detail was thought through to provide a competition level base kit to work with. Previously the only way to build a competition capable rock crawler was to buy bits and pieces of several different kits here'n'there. This long and sometimes frustrating process could take as long as several months just to get the right parts together before you could even start the build. Now you can get a factory built rolling chassis, and within approximately an hours build-time you'll be able to hit the rocks with your competition ready AX10 Scorpion rock crawler.

Features
- Pre-built version of the award winning AX10 Scorpion Kit. Includes all the aluminum links in anodized orange
- Pre-printed orange XC-1 Body that was specifically designed for competition rock crawling - meets 2.2 class rules.
- Pro-Line M2 Hammers tires are designed to resist side-wall tire rollover and utilizes a super soft M2 compound. Pro-Line Memory Foams allow for greater tire flex, added stability, larger contact patch, and less bounce action.
- Rear axle lockouts prevent hang-ups on the rear axle.
- Heavy duty sintered lockers front and rear
- High clearance lower links installed on the rear to prevent hang-ups on the rocks.
- Matte chrome 8 hole beadlocks with orange rock rings. Re-use your wheel. No messy glue required.
Axles
The axles have been designed with many features that are not
available from other products on the market. Everything from the axle
strength, pinion angle, caster, and ground clearance were taken into
consideration when designing these axles. The result is a far superior axle
that will stand-up to some severe punishment. To ensure added longevity from
the start a hi-tolerance sintered diff locker is included along with
hardened drive shafts.
Chassis
The AX10 Scorpion chassis is lightweight and stiff. Twin 2.5mm
aluminum side plates are tied together with aluminum posts that create a
rigid structure. The molded nylon skid/transmission plate is designed not
only to be strong, but it's radius edges aid in preventing hang-up's on
jagged surfaces. Additional design features include channeled grooves which
assist in directional stability. Scale was also taken into consideration,
and the chassis was made as small and compact as possible to cut weight as
much as possible. A simple, yet highly functional battery/radio tray makes
installation of your electronics quick and easy. Wheel base is adjustable
from 304mm ~ 320mm.
Transmission
The AX10 Scorpion transmission was designed to place the
weight of the motor as low as possible to maintain a low CG (Center of
Gravity). The ultra compact transmission doesn't compromise performance
because it also allows for a wide range of gearing choices. The overall
ratio can be adjusted from 15:1 all the way up to 74:1 using different
pinion/spur gear choices which allows for super high speed or to competition
level crawling speed. The transmission is locked with no differential action
which allows for both wheels to get the maximum amount of traction. The
out-drive shafts come in a hard anodized aluminum for added durability.
Shocks and Links
Super long nitride coated shocks offer a wider range of
articulation. An optional range of spring rates allow you to custom tune
your crawler to work on a wide range of terrain. All suspension links are
made from strong lightweight aluminum and anodized in orange. Rear high
clearance links are included to help increase ground clearance and prevent
hang-ups.
Wheels and Tires
No crawler would be complete without the essentials, and the
AX10 Scorpion is outfitted with the popular 2.2 8 hole beadlocks sporting
orange rock rings, and the Pro-Line Hammer™ tires.
The 2.2 8 hole beadlocks not only looks great but were engineered to meet
the needs of competitive rock crawling. Designed to fit most of the
competitive tires available on the market, they are true beadlocks and
require no gluing. Made from strong composite materials to keep the weight
low while still adding strength where needed.
The Pro-Line Hammer™ tires were inspired by The Sledgehammer and Jackhammer
trails located near Johnson Valley, California. These are some of the most
brutal trails known to crawlers around the country, and the need for the
right equipment is crucial for getting through the trails successfully.
Knowing the needs of competitive R/C rock crawling, Pro-Line M2 Hammer™
tires were chosen because of their super soft compound and tread design.
