Axial SCX10 III Base camp RTR crawler review - 10 differences vs Traxxas TRX-4 Sport

[davo]

Finally a good video on de Basecamp. All the other channels don't talk about the pro and cons like you do. Looking forward for part 2.

I've been checking your channel for a review of the Basecamp since it came out, so I'm super glad to see this. I think this Basecamp, with its reconfigured transmission and motor placement, finally puts the SCX10 III back on the evolutionary path of its excellent two predecessors. I, too, felt that the original 10 IIIs gave up too much of the balance and simplicity that this line is known for - all for marketing features that the original pre-Horizon Hobby Axial engineers never would have chosen. I'm not necessarily in love with the body of this, but I'm super glad to see a single speed transmisson and mid/low mounted motor. Can't wait to see how it performs at your crawler park!

The reversible gear is used for when you want to upgrade to the non portal axle. Remember portal axles run in reverse.

Both seem to be very similar in specs and performance! In my opinion, the choice for the TRX4 brings the benefits of a longer history of bullet proof construction and option parts everywhere. But in those fields the Axial has a lot of benefits too...

I really wish someone would just come out with a Tacoma gen 3 body licensed Lol. Axial missed a good opportunity there I think. Make it have options for lights and some bling and it would of looked sharp and they woulda sold a shit ton! Great video as always Francis. Looking forward to the 2nd. 👍

This video and your other base camp vs trx4 camp video is exactly what I've been looking for! Looking to purchase another crawler for my daughter. Good work

I can’t believe I have gone this whole time without subscribing. 🤦🏻‍♂️ just subscribed bud! Love your content!
The base camp has definitely impressed me and with a couple mods it will hang with a trx4. Props to axial and at a lower price tag. 💪🏼

I just want to say thank you guys for being the first channel to cover this I have never been so "underwhelmed" about an Axial release, and it looks like it was designed by committee (compared to their previous releases) I'm already tired of Horizon Hobbies' corporate bullshit, and especially considering the target market for this thing, consumers need an honest comparison. So thank you

[ericbolyard]

Miss your test and comparable videos! You do great work!

[nemesis]

I despise Traxxas but I must admit that the TRX4 body looks better overall. On the other side The axial comes with far better electronics, just for that I'll keep the Axial. Both are still using "U" shaped frame beams... (That's funny if we think that the underrated Yikong Pro/Absima Khamba comes with one piece machined solid chassis). Not my cup of tea but acceptable to a certain degree. Good honest review and comparison, thanks. sir.

as always, the best channel for rc reviews very detailed and informative as always..

[laserbeam]

My trx4 and several people I know came stock with metal horns. I think they started that early 2021

[derricksazrc]

I love your insight Brother. I can’t wait for the kit to come out.

[rcmakingtracks]

Nice video, with unbiased points of view. Both nice trucks, to improve however you wish...

[RcDungeon]

As always a great video was considering getting a base camp for my daughter thanks for these awesome videos

[adamj]

Look forward to the running test. Appreciate the honest reviews!!

[HoundStuff]

I sense a little drama/tension between you and Axial based on those opening comments 😁 Nice vide, take care!

[DavidFernandez-scws]

Currently on the market for a crawler. Probably gonna go with a vs410 RTR

[montesamapping]

As usual one of the best review of this new car.

I agree with all negative points of SCXIII, in fact I bought Gladiator only because my child like it... and finally is really cool !
I tried Proline Gladiator body... but is a toy.. too small for 1/10 chassis... a really strange mistake from Proline quality.
Fortunately I found a better RGT Gladiator like body... but in any case Axial Gladiator is really better looking.

I also agree that this cheap body is awful.. I don't understand why not place a bit more attention to the look... SCXII as many better bodies with a reasonable cost...
