Got my Axial SCX10 iii Jeep Wrangler JLU just yesterday. Today it got to go on trail to see what it can do. Headed over to my now favorite spot, Peabody town forest, which I had "discovered" yesterday.

For my Redcat Gen8V2, I've been using 2s 5200mAh lipos, but I want to see how long my significantly smaller 3s 2200mAh lipos will run for. Reaper had little issues taking on this trail. Climbing wise, it outperformed my Redcat, Jalapeno, but Reaper is built for class 2 category, whereas Jalapeno is Class 1. So, not a fair fight. Also, Jalapeno sports a metal roof on it's already very tall body.

The turning on Reaper is not near as sharp as Jalapeno's, but Reaper comes stock with a dig unit. I've never used a dig before, but I really, really like it! Unfortunately, Spektrum's tiny micro servo crapped out. I've heard about this on many YT reviews. Regardless, it was a great outing!
