Axial RC Truck 1/10 SCX10 III Base Camp 4WD Rock Crawler Brushed RTR (Batteries and Charger Not Included), Grey, AXI03027T3

Purchased this in green, of which green is so not My favorite color. After I got the vehicle, the green didn't look so bad and began to grow on Me. This is a great beginner truck, or a great truck for those looking to add a good solid RC truck to their collection. Typically, with Axial vehicles, I always want to upgrade them to improve their performance. This is one of those RC vehicles that runs good out of the box without upgrades, and of course, probably a beast with weight down low. I Am going to run this vehicle stock for several months before I even consider upgrading it.I chose a Spektrum IC3 2S 5000mAh battery and I have more than enough juice for what I do (primarily rough terrain and light mud. Actual rock crawling is okay, but NOT my primary objective.Articulation and modulation are pretty good. There is no On or Off switch, so the remote needs to be turned on prior to connecting the battery so that the vehicle doesn't accidentally move potentially damaging something. When finished using, disconnect the battery first and turn off the controller last. Always disconnect Your battery immediately after usage.On a last note, one of the first things that You MUST do upon receiving the Base Camp RC is TRIM the rear of the front fenders because they rub something awful when the vehicle is turning and articulating at the same time (I hate modifying RC bodies, but in this case, it was VERY necessary.) Only a few mm needs to be removed. Secondly, You MUST also loosen the front bumper and slide it out and away from the vehicle one (1) notch. This will prevent the wheels from scrubbing the front bumper while turning. Do the aforementioned two things and You will love this vehicle. Axial really needs to do better with this particular body and its front fender wells.I would still recommend the Base Camp as is because it is really a nice truck, a.k.a. unlicensed Toyota Tacoma. A great truck with a lot of potential.

The media could not be loaded. This thing is a blast and the first RC vehicle that I've owned in over 20 years. Things have come a long way. I wanted to try a crawler for the first time, and my personal experience is that this is a great entry point for a 10th scale crawler. It has been very durable with the only broken part for me so far being the front axle housing. It happened after a very high fall and then me continuing to drive it afterwards. If you like to tinker, be warned that customizing and modifying this thing can be as fun if not more than driving it. I have already changed so much. Your first mod should be trimming the body and bumpers. I also recommend going with a smaller 3s battery like a 2200Mah and mounting it next to the steering servo for some front weight.

Absolutely love the truck was exactly what I was looking for I am a content creator and wanted something that would be very reliable and perform good. This is one of the best trucks out of the box I have ever driven.

Basic truck that is very capable without paying for all the bells and whistles. I'm running mine on a 2200mah 3S mounted up front behind the front bumper. I also pulled the bumpers in so they don't catch on as many rocks. Body is a generic style that reminds me of a Tacoma. Definitely my go to machine for crawling/light bashing.

Went out with a buddy and played around with our RC trucks at a gravel pit. His is a bit modified and mine is stock. Only things he had on me were grip(aftermarket tires and foams) and he was a little faster(upgraded motor) but we were both surprised at how capable it is out of the box. Very happy with this purchase and will be putting many 1/10's of miles on this bad boy.

A great out of the box RTR(ready to run) crawler! For a budget release of Axial's scx10 iii it holds it's own on the rocks and as a trail truck. Very customizable and the nonlicensed body is very lightweight compared to the bulkier jeep bodies seen so often. If you're just starting in the hobby or looking for another rig you won't be disappointed! The spectrum remote/transmitter is a good entry level remote for beginners, but has settings that are more customizable for the seasoned crawler as well. I've had mine for a few weeks and I crawl hard. So far nothing had broken and the minor issues I've had like links bending or balljoints popping loose have all been fixable on the spot and without tools. Overall it's a great buy and performs far better then you'd expect from an RTR. As good if not better then the trx4 sport. I highly recommend it!

The media could not be loaded. This is a huge upgrade coming from the scx10-1. The 10-3 is absolutely amazing. I love the super grippy Falken tires. Portal axles for improved ground clearance. Just an overall design improvement. It's awesome out of the box and I can wait to start upgrading to make it an absolute beast of a machine. Great platform!

My first RC vehicle so I don't have much to compare it to, but I'm impressed with the build quality and performance. Surprised by some of the places it can go. Accidently drove it off the edge into the shallow end of an empty swimming pool, sounded bad, but didn't seem to phase it.
