Today I brought the AX24 to work and played a little at lunch. I think this one is actually the most capable mini that Axial has. Straight from the box I think it out performs the stock Deadbolt, and I love my Deadbolt. For stock tires these work great and might be what makes the difference.
Brought one of my little buddies to work today, at lunch grabbed some random stuff and made a small course to play on. Best lunch I've had in a while. :)
