Back to your roots, literally, back down to hit every root
THAT'S THE JOKE.
@@scalebuildersguild Maybe I should have added "I see what you did there..." 😉
@@scalebuildersguild I do like the realism these axles offer. Love the offset pumpkin.
I hope a bunch of people make this conversion because I would love to pick up a used set of the portals to go under my UMG10 to make it more scale.
How many crawlers you have brother?
@@kravenkrawlhobby5438 Never enough!! Is the Capra a crawler? I just have that and the UMG but looking for a Traxxas TRX-4 Sport for Christmas. I've also got a Yeti but that is hardly a crawler.
And then take the old umog axles and make another build.
Ty Little it’s probably gonna be another option in an RTR!! ??
Ty Little there’s some truth for Horizon Hobby
Yes I'm going to use the axle kit to finish my Vanquish chassis kit and Vanquish low profile transmission kit. This way I'll have a poor man's Vanquish VS 410 pro!
I totally get why the love for straight axles but being able to clear a rock with portals priceless!
This is what I was waiting on, I wanted a straight axle SCX-10 III, and now I actually have a reason to buy a 10 III
If snagging roots is your thing, just flip your portals upside down. You can tell your buddies you have an scx10iii pumpkin dragger!
if your snagging roots with these straight axles then the 1:1 jeep would do the same considering these are 1 10 scale of a real vehicle. I've yet to snag roots in my 1 to 1 jeep & I nor anyone else owns a 1 to 1 Jeep with Portals there's no such thing it's goofy & causes your center of gravity to raise way up, side hillings awful & they just look dumb
@@ConditionZero76 yes I agree with you, in my comment I suggested to use the stock portal axles and flip those upside down for a more challenging experience. Imo the 10iii kit should include straight axles and portals should be the aftermarket option.
Good. Now i have a reason to buy this Jeep.
Now we need a builders kit with these axles. Can’t help but wonder if the plan was to sell these after the fact because they knew people would pay extra money and want to do this. 🤔
Marketing can be brutal bro, lol.
New axles look great! I too am looking forward to seeing what new trucks / RTRs / body styles Axial might come out with next.
I'd be happy to see the JL RTR with the straight axles.
I won't get my hopes too high though. The way Axial is doing things lately, they'll probably release a new Bronco with the straight axle, then come out with an IFS, and put it on a Power Wagon!
Yes! That's a great looking kit! I will be getting one and will use the stock 90mm shocks. No need for more flex! Gonna keep it scale! Thanks for the review!
Sticking with my 10.3 portals. I added trx-4 shocks with 5mm of fuel tubing to limit articulation, dropped some weight from the body, printed the Knights Custom kit for it, and she's been a joy to drive minus our frozen tundra in Montana lately.
Sweet love the look on the jeep. Great review as always 👏 thanks SBG.
Axial's first scale front axle! Heck yeah; thank you Axial!
I first have to but an SCX10.3. Been putting it off until the straight axle RTR.
Got ‘em on order. Plan to run shorter shocks like your mini me, even got those replica wheels already (thanks for the tip!). Start with the 90mm but may go 80mm again like your mini me. See how it goes. Thanks for the preview!!
Back To Basics. Nice 👌🏼 Great Vid Mat Thank You.
AXIAL needs to try some Nissans. GU for instance. 4 door wagon, 2 door shorty, 4 door ute, 2 door Ute with flatbed or tub. So many options with just the 1 model.
going to put these on my gcm cross canyon, been waiting on these for a while!
Yes these definitely give a more scale look. Now I wish someone would make portals for my comp crawler where portals belong (along with cutting brakes) 😬
I hope to be able to get a couple sets of these to experiment with a couple different rigs I have.
I did preorder this kale kit just to have the axles and shocks for another build. I do not have a 10.3. Just wanted a decently good complete axle set. 👍🏼 great video Matt!
Great idea
Great Video.... Informative and to the point. Thanks SBG.
Glad it was helpful!
This conversion kit might be a cool base for a ground-up custom build. But I'll wait for scx10iii straight axle builders kit (i.e. I hope)
This looks 100x better
Looking for the first SCX10.3 with straight axles from Axial but going to be keeping it portal for now on my kit for now😁
Bro, those roots are so dank and soooOOO Deep. Your new computer setup really makes the videos very high quality complete.
Appreciate it!
Mad Crisp every time yo.
Planning on building a low cog 2dr xj and these would be perfect under it, will wait a while hoping they bring out a iii builders kit with these axles though
Im happy Axial put this out. It just expands what we can build. I would want this ExCepT for one tough comparison... a complete 10.2 builders kit is $200. I think $ for $ it may not add up. But i still like it.
I've decided to go with the JL kit and also ordered the straight axle kit but I also ordered the Bowhouse 3 gear trans adapter and am gonna run the og trans. Once again your videos have given me information in helping me make the decisions on which route to go on this next build. 👍
Glad I could help! Enjoy your build!
I'm hoping I get the chance to meet you at Scale Nats and say hi and Josh too. Lol
Hemistorm stayed with the 90mm shocks and went with a bit shorter tire on his JT and it looked great.
I dont have a 10iii but I might have to pick these up for a project.
Coming next is centre pumpkin front axle conversion for your SCX10III Standard Axle Conversion Kit. Including a set same shock absorbers, scale body interior details and a scale kettle.
Doubtful, needs an offset front diff to work with the transmission. Maybe the kettle though. 😉
1st world problems.
"Oh, I don't want portals on my 10.3, I want straight axles on it."
Meanwhile, I'm over here with my OG Trail Honcho. Wish I had the 10.2 axles and the nice CMS kit. :p
I’m still running my scx10 dingo kit. I don’t see the need to own a 10 ii or 10 iii
You have pre-historic problems, Jura-axles 😁😉
@@BishopsRCCrusade LOL! Tried and true though. 👌😁
@@soggycivic8594 WOW somebody else has one too, like mine every time I say i have a scx dingo I get a (huh) haahaa keep crawling 👍
First generation scx10 guys like me should make a Statement about the bad turning radius. I should have a receiver that goes that goes beep beep beep ever time I use reverse. Turning radius is nearly 3times larger than my gmade.
Awesome axles 👍
I want those axles haha.
They send a very nicely done box set up.
I will be doing those axles when I get the 10.3.
Id put the portals on something else.
Great video man.
👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As always haha.
Love the portals for crawling, but like you, I'm building a replica of my 1:1 JLUR & it needs the straight axles. Ordered a set yesterday.
I'm getting these for my SCX10 II, they're an improvement over those!
Me too
WAIT!! $170!!???? 😲
These were great for my GSpeed build! I imagine that’s how they will sell a lot of them.
I'm getting this kit, and running the 100m shocks so I dont have to go down to the 4.5 tires for proper clearance under compression, and so I can build a 1 to 1 of my daily Ram 1500 I own
It's a great value I want them alone
Man you got some cool and real looking jeeps jls! Awesome upgrades!👌😎👍that's the only reason i havent bought that axial jl, i dont really care for their portal axles. I like those upgraded axles thought.
awesome my guy 👍🤝
So I'm not an absolute purest, but I'm /t/ staying with the portals, liking the looks and extra ground clearance of the portals. I have straight axles on my SCX 10 and 10II, so I'm happy with those. I'd rather spend the $ on another builders kit.
Don't own a scx10iii but I'd definitely get the axles for custom builds
Great video, im going to be swapping them onto my 10.3 gladiator and will probably be keeping the 90mm shocks as im running 4.19 km3s on it.
The 90mm shocks make a world of difference in the looks department. You lose a little uptravel, but that's a compromise I'm willing to make.
If I had a scx10iii I would def do this. I would be mad I had to spend the money on it though. Hope we see the rtr with straight axles. Other body choices would be the ultimate. Maybe a umg10 short wheel base portals. Then something new that has straight axles. We def need new licenses for bodies.
Your funny informative and entertaining - Subscribed 🙆
I should get these to fix the IFS problem on my trailrunner.
Bout dang time! 😁. I just want the front offset for my Comp rigs 👍
why would you have offset with straight axles vs portal?
@@ConditionZero76 low CG. At our comps, str8 axles rigs tend to do better than portals.
I might be able to build it the 4th time but maybe not, but maybe maybe? Very nice jerping by the way.
It’s half a kit! Surprised to see shocks in there too. Or shocked, rather.
Back to your roots, get it? Because the axle pumpkin will hit the... oh never mind.
"shocked" 😂
I was in the process of cutting and modifying the portals into a portal delete kit, but will just use this instead. These will be going on a VS4-10 chassis kit with a VFD transmission, under an XJ hard body.
Also, I think I'll toss the 100mm shocks onto an IFS Element build so that I don't have to use the shock mounts they give in that kit.
Love it!!! Awesome !!! So happy to see it. Now. Can we buy the builders kit with Straight axles instead of portals? I wonder... Looks great sir. Thanks for sharing it.
That'd be a nice addition too!
Thats awsome...
If they come out with one Scx10III with straight Axles out of the Box i probally have to buy one 😬😅 ...
Best regards from Germany
Hannes
Well, that should help bring the weight closer to the ground... But there would be some roll center changes too (the links will have different angles). So it should handle a little different in comparison to the portal axle equipped model, and I'm not just talking about having more snags from the reduced ground to axle clearance.
Those shocks look decent - are they going to sell those separately?
@@nukedathlonman my guess is they're the Capra's shock body/shaft etc with maybe a different rod end to take them from 98 to 100mm (or just the same).
So yes a decent shock sold separately.
Cheers mate 👍
Awesome video bro, I'm a straight axle guy and after watching this video, I'm wondering who's gonna use this conversion on the 2020 Axial Gladiator 1st?
I have a buddy that has an scx10iii and only wants the portal axles off of it so I might get his chassis and put the straight axles on it
I think it looks great and to each their own. The whole reason I picked up the iii was because of the portals. Axial has put out a really great product for a long time with straight axles so it was nice to see an addition to line-up. I love my ii and quickly becoming attached to the gladiator. Appreciate your videos as always!
Thanks for watching!
Bro, you're the man
I appreciate that!
Wouldn't removing the portals reverse the direction of wheel rotation? Did they counteract this by flipping the differentials?
It'd be nice if Axial scx10iii in a kit form one with straight axles and one with portal axles. I'd be interested in seeing a head-to-head of each. Oh crap now I got to build another 10-3 one was straight axles LOL
Up grades for the scx10 OG builders kit. Nice
I doubt very much these would just link up without some major changes to geometry. But give it a go!
I already have shock mount with the panhard bar mount I originally made one of these out of a cutting board and Link arms it was a very good crawler
if i had one id definitly put straight axels on it with the smaller shocks
I like the straight axles better 👍👊
i just need the axles :)
also would be nice if they offer the v3 portal axles as a kit
Really cool Matt....really cool. You know what would be even cooler man????sending me that extra set you got there on your table. I’d say I’ll speak much good of your name but I already do so that’s not gonna work. You know what will work??? That extra set of axles sure will work on my 10.3
Oh yeah...how’s the torque twist??
Thanks for saying something about seeing more than just Jeeps, there cool but so are a lot of other bodies as well
I guess I’m just gonna keep writing comments. It’s still data to the channel
I'm going to hold off for now. But at some point, it will be done...
This is awesome and the price is even better!!! So long to all the guys that ask $125+ for regular scx10ii axles 😂
Is it weird that I heard the headquake cheer intro in my head?
Nice squares 👍
Glad you like them!
That kit is a game changer for Diy builds. What size are the mtrs?
I'd be interested to see comparison tests between sintered gears and machine cut gears (hardness tests, destructive running tests). For my VS4-10 Ultra, I bought the upgrade machined gear set for the VFD transmission, because the portal axles came with machined gears and I have a bit of OCD... All sintered or all machined, but a mix is annoying for some reason. Anyway, I hear a lot of negativity toward sintered gears and people spending money to upgrade, but is that money well spent? Sintered gears are VERY durable, literally ALL cordless power tools use them. Milwaukee, DeWalt, Porter Cable, Bosch, and even Hilti, and when these tools wear out, it's the bearings, motors, and electronics that generally fail, not the gears.
For 99$, i would consider getting this kit for a future overlan gladiator build. But at 170$ it’s quite expensive (plus the 520$ truck)
Your opinion is indeed fact, straight axles looks better....haha.
How about running 50% droop? That is what I would have done.
I will be waiting till they bring out a SCX10 III Raw Builders Kit with straight axles.
What would happen if I don't change out the transmission gears??
It's...about...time!!
Just need HH to step it up with distribution so the masses can get these parts for our builds. Glad I held off building my 10.3 kit; this just resurrected my plans to build off my VS410 chassis kit.
I still think Axial’s 69’ Chevy is by far the best!
Now you have two portal axels for the UMG.Ha ha!
S.A.4.L Straight axels 4 life!
I like the 90mm shocks better
How about that kit on a 10.2? I wonder if anything would be gained
Nice information about scale builders. Great job and nice video. Greetings Andy from Modellbau-Kanal.de
I think they should have put portals on the umg10 as the 1:1 version has and keep straith axles for normal trucks, unless jeep decide to put portals on their trucks ;) or like someone said, they also could give the option when you buy it at the start. Btw I've installed portals on my umg10 with shorter shocks and it's now my favorite truck of the 5 I have.
I'd love to get that rig someday. What shocks did you use?
@@Stoovey24 sorry for the delay for the answer, I've put 80mm chinese with internal spring
Matt, Let me know if you want to get rid of the Portals that you have.
When is axial gonna start selling all of their axle options this way?! needs to happen.
Matt, would this axle kit fit on a scxii without any modifications?
Do the 10.2 and 10.3 use same diff covers/ share?
Is the ar45 kit going to fit scx10ii chassis also ?
Might give those axles a try on my Ascender K10 getting tired of breaking them at the gears think that would work?
You'll only know if you try. Link locations are certainly different.
another project for after im done moving.
Hey Matt did u paint the grill black or is that knight customs as well. Really like the extended fenders to help tires clear the body. Thanks.
Grille is painted black, with inner mesh from Knight Custom’s. Thanks!
Interesting 🤔
What are your plans for the portals?
I mean, buy a SCX10ii if you want straight axles. Lol I just don't see the point of this. Those shocks are looking really sweet. I want those for my wraith XD
Are the diff covers different between the two axles? Also could the removed portal axles be swapped over to a Capra to give it a more narrow stance?
They are different.
Whats the difference with the panhard mount? I have a metal one so not really wanting to go back to plastic to swap my old gladiator
I can’t recall, but assume it’s required.
@@scalebuildersguild well hopefully its stronger than the stock one was for my gladiator, i couldnt seem to find any other designed metal one, atleast its going into summer so ill have a bit of runtime before i have to worry it
Have you run this on the stock 90mm shocks yet? Does it cause a bunch of rubbing issues with 4.75” tires on the 90mm shocks?
You lose a lot of uptravel, and will likely cause some rubbing.
It would be nice if Axial would sell just the axles assembled in a kit. There a very popular axle for custom builds.
That's how they are sold. As a kit, no truck.
with these axles offset can they be used on any build such as SCX10 ii or element enduro? Thanks
I don’t see why not.
The real question, do the shocks leak!!
I've upgraded my SCX10.2 with a vanquish chassis kit and I'm wondering if I could use the front from this kit with a vanquish VFD gearbox until I can afford the Vanquish axles?
You might. Geometry and link mounts might not work though.
