scale truck
John Holmes was in town and we took the opportunity to get together, sit down, and discuss the options available in 2019 and tell you a few stories of where we came from. This was a good time to just sit and talk about the history of scale RC and some of how we got to where we are now.

The Axial Capra is the first attempt that Axial has made at competing in the portal market. I have found many things to like in this build, but also no shortage of issues to look at.
The SCX10-2 Trail Honcho Budget Build has begun! We spend $50 a week and try to build the best rig we can. This week we take our new Axial and add a bolt in interior setup and do some free suspension tuning modifications!
