That body is sick.


Hopefully you won't have to pour a couple of Ben Franklin's into this rig to make it truly competitive like the AX10.

 

[slowngreen]

I'm glad theres only one thread about it on here lol, theres been like 100 on rcc over the past month, I'm already sick of it before it even dropped lol.


BUT I'm glad they finally came out with a MOA. No matter what any one says, MOA's are better.

 

[robmob]

I love my MOSI.

I will give this one a fondle at the LHS when it comes out.

 

[slowngreen]

Too bad proline didnt crank out a new tread for this. Not to say the chisels dont rock, thats what I'm running at the moment it siped to to the nuts chisels but it would have been cool to see something new.

 

[robmob]

Tires shown are only for the promo pics.

It does not come with any.

[slowngreen]

Oh I missed that. Still though, would have been cool. I'm guessing they realize theres too many options for great comp tires now to waste time/money on including tread.

 

[robmob]

At least Axial didn't pull a Kyosho with their "Something Big" Mini-Z track. LMFAO!

 

[slowngreen]

Or a losi jk.


Would be sweet if they offered the axles for sale by them selves.

 

[MGT8.0owner]

It looks pretty cool to me, i've been thinking about getting a comp crawler for a while, maby i should wait a while longer lol.

Or a losi jk.

shouldn't be too hard to find after they start getting chopped and sold on ebay

 

[hamz9561]

You'll probably will be able to buy them as an assembly from Axial when the rig drops.

Plastic housings = fail

 

[abadk9420]

Well when I get my money right I think I see A new MOA in my future, that thing is sick, can't wait to see one in person...

 

[The Cow]

I am not a crawler guy... I am learning slowly, lol

No matter how many times I look at this rig I can't get over how sexy she looks... I know it doesn't equate to a good crawler but on looks alone I am in love

I know, so shallow

Plastic housings = fail

How can you say that ? The truck is not even out yet. You are the Crawler Guru so you would know. I will take plastic over metal or aluminum any day.

 

[slowngreen]

I'm not worried about the housings at all personally, if it was a serious weak point, they would have already done something about them before releasing it, like in delrin or something. Thats actually the only thing I want from one, is the axles.

 

[SMaxxin]

I have been getting the itch for speed so I was hoping for something fast but it does look like a sweet crawler with a lot of great features....I like the idea with the rear cutting brakes!

 

[robmob]

I like the plastic housings. They will slip over the rocks easier than aluminum. I don't see durability being an issue. Axial knows what they are doing.

I bet there will be a lot of berg and bully axles going to feebay soon at rock bottom prices.

I think the double shear knuckles is pretty slick. IMO

Cutting brakes are going to open a hole new can of worms on the comp seen. Back in 05' I tried it on my TLT-1 comp rig with a hacksaw chassis but could never get it perfect. It is gonna be spiffy to have C.B.s

I bet there will be a lot of berg and bully axles going to feebay soon at rock bottom prices.

Agreed, I liked my MOAsi but could not get use to the worm gears. The MOAsi didn't sound like a trash can being thrown off the side of a cliff like Bergs and Bullys do bang,clank,clunk,ping.

 

[robmob]

I want one. LOL
