I've spent most of the afternoon watching all the review videos for this model. I'm curious; how long have you guys had this and kept it under wraps? I was completely gobsmacked when I received the email from Horizon earlier today. Totally did not see this one coming.
YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!! Pre-ordered mine today! Been waiting for a large scale crawler/trail truck. This will be my new hiking rig. Strap 3 batts in it. Carry extra in a backpack, good workout. This thing will get ALL the looks while out in the Smokey's. Awesome vid as always my friend. Opening was great.
This thing is amazing. I love all Jeep’s as I have just about every scale made. I do hope that aftermarket will support. I would live to see someone like Scaler Fab make bumpers and sliders. It could definitely use metal in those areas.
I'm sitting here with my morning coffee and this thing is all over my feed... WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?!?! I thought it was the redcat marksman at first. CRAZY!!!
You mentioned sometime interesting about this. When you said no portals actually help with center of gravity and that this truck was very stable, that makes so much sense. There’s gotta be more metal and thicker plastics on here, giving it a more scale weight distribution and feel.
About 13 years ago Walmart carried a large crawler from some company I forgot. But I had extra batteries and bodies. The tires had great air down simulation it crawled better then many hobby grade for a a while. The body was decent thick plastic that never cracked or broke. But it was moved by a worm gear. And that is where the 200 dollar toy would break. I believe it was 1/8 scale. High low gearing. It was just awesome. Battery would last hours. It was a large 3 or 4 lb brick. And I remember it being like 6 to 10 hours of charge. You planned the day before to crawl. Lol Oh it was nylint. That crawler was fantastic. And didn’t break the bank.
We got the chance to take our LHS Eliminator Rc in winnipeg mb demo unit out all day today and are also completely blown away by it! We agree this is a game changer! Trailing footage will be up tomorrow! Cheers Matt!
Nice, and for sure it's capable! So much capable that probably for the places I'm used to have fun with 1:10, it would end up being...let's say...boring? Not for everybody, for sure. I'm not overly scared by the price tag, but also think that aftermarkets tires wheels accessories etc. will step up from the average 1:10 price tags too!
OMG I love this thing! Plus I've been building 1/6 trucks using New Bright hard shells for years now finally a chassis and spare parts to match the size!
SO excited about this Matt!! I've known for a while that we needed a LARGE Crawler/Scaler. The MASS makes the experience far more realistic! I've recently bought 1/5th Scale Buggies and Desert Trucks... A Crawler was needed! 👌 I've pre-ordered the Aluminum one!!
Just heard of this tonight on Reddit. Saw about 30 seconds of Axial's intro video, insta-pre-ordered locally and then watched your video through. ...aaaand then stopped and realised I have no idea where I'm going to store this monster! 1st world problems of crawler addicts, I guess! Great video, thank you :)
I’ll say it again, your reviews and run videos are fantastic!! Nothing like the guy that says it’s gigantic like 18,000 times and never tells you what the vehicle has on/in it and then proceeds to giggle uncontrollably and say things like ‘oh my gosh’, ‘oh wow’, ‘holy crap’ and ‘this thing is awesome!!’ over and over and over again as they just run the thing in some random fashion all the while making the viewer motion sick with the herky jerky videography. So thank you sir for your contribution to the RC world. In regards to the steering servo I’ve heard that if you wire it directly to the battery and not through the ESC it makes a world of difference. I know this video is nearly a year old but thought I’d mention that. I’m gonna try that with the SCX6 Honcho I’m picking up at the end of this week. Yay!!! I’m kinda JEEP’d out honestly. Good day sir.
I don't quite understand "I’ve heard that if you wire it directly to the battery and not through the ESC it makes a world of difference.", but I'm a newb. Is that with a 2s battery? With a 3s at 11.1v that sounds way too high. There is also an option to program the servo voltage to 7.4v, from 6.0. Why not just program that parameter to get the same voltage as a 2s?
I have been waiting for a larger crawler like this for years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really hope other companies take not and start building these bigger crawlers. I would love to see a larger scale TRX4 from Traxxas!!!!
The SCX6 looks like a must-have, but I’m so torn. I’ve always loved Axial vehicles and I have several, but the selectable lockers of the TRX-4 were a game changer for me. I get so much enjoyment driving with selectable lockers, just the way I drive trails in my full size Jeep. On the flip side I hate that there is no Jeep in the TRX-4 lineup. Hence my current build blending TRX-4 running gear with an Axial Jeep body. 👍✌️
I still have a 1/6th scale Nylint Jeep buried in the back of the closet. I would have never thought someone would ever produce something that big again in a crawler.
Bro that's a big truck glad to see another great review. I need that in my life, but the price will keep me away for awhile. The scale will deff have us out looking for new and bigger places to go wheeling. I deff see all the normal upgrades coming soon. With it being Axial all the companies know people will be getting one and will want all the upgrades that come along the way.
The size of the jeep, in the running videos, makes it look much more realistic when compared to the size of the rocks. it actually looks like a 1.1 scale wrangler.
Well since Axial made one, it will sell even though the 1/8th scale crawlers were always glossed over for being too big. Weird. Wonder how long before Traxxas up sizes the TRX4? Great review by the way and extra points for pulling yourself along on a skateboard with it.
I highly recommend the SCX6 if you want to step up from 1/10 and 1/8, it's a very capable truck which will climb hills in both gears, i'm so glad I purchased it. I connected 2 off 3s 5000mah Spektrum batteries in parallel to mine with the bluetooth module so I can keep an eye out on remaining battery power and speed and stuff on the phone app.
Looks great and exciting to see what's next now this gate has been opened. 1/10 scale stuff can be expensive so I dread to find out what price aftermarket items will be on this. Will be more of a neiche market but I guess we will see.
being so large it certainly brings the terrain into a more scale look as well , hopefully proline do a body or two for it and some tyres too, what size are the wheel hubs , im guessing 17mm ? great vid tho
Nice review Mat. Can't wait for Proline to come out with some different bodies for this platform. Maybe some Ford and Chevy pickups, or would the wheel base be to short? The body is nice, but I already have the SCX III JLU.
I’m selling 2 1/10th scale rigs and having to toss a old 1/5th HPI Baja Trophy truck to make room for this Jeep. Prepaid for the new one and can’t wait till they release it.
Excellent video, very nice. Thank you for taking the time to tear into the internals and give some real dimensions. Oh, we cannot wait to get our hands on a few of these.
This will be nice in the cricks that are just too deep to get a 10th scale wet without going too deep. I don't like going above wheel level or so on 10th scale so this will be nice.
I'm really curious that every single video i've seen regarding this new SCX6 they specifically say that despite the fact that the ESC is 4S capable you shouldn't run it with 4S under any circumstances. Now waiting paciently for a 4S video testing
Dam that thing is really YUUUGE!!! I'm glad it exists, but I don't think I add that to my collection. I can't imagine carrying it to the car with my other gear, and don't have any place I could park it). But given it's size, I'm sure it'll be a ton of fun on the trail. :-)
I own a Traction hobby cragsman 1/8 scale and love the larger scale and seems like Axial have learnt some things with larger scale that i wish that Traction hobby would do, namely the links..
I literally just bought a gladiator because of the gladiator builds lol I like the size of this one because I’ve always thought crawlers were a little small I understand the weight but they have always looked more toyish because of the size. This looks proportional like you said I wish I would of known about these because I would of waited 😭
Great video Matt, but I can't even look at that thing. I think they missed an oportunity there. When you look at something at this scale, you wanna see more details, not stickers for hinges and headlights. Looks pretty dull and toy-like. Also I'd Iike to see lockable diffs since there are lots of room for that kinda stuff in there. I don't see this going too far down the scale trucks world, but that's just me, what do I know!
I really like this truck and the size of it is wild and what draws me towards it but man $1100 is a lot of money. So the chances of me owning one is pretty low I guess I’ll be sticking to 1/10 scale.
Will all I'm saying is yes its very nice an I was waiting on them to bring out a 1/6th scale. but it's a good thing it's a crawler so it can crawl up to that price tag that's on it at $1100 bucks wow
I would like to see your lifted mud truck version of this monster, I think it is awesome that it dwarfs the X-maxx. Also it's pretty damn cool that it can pull a grownass man down the street on a skateboard 🙃
Great review Matt! Thanks for your honest assessment of the new offering from Axial. Thinking that this SCX6 would look good parked next to my Axial Yeti XL. Excellent running footage, gives us a better idea of the running features of this JEEP.
Definitely gonna be buying one unfortunately probably not for a little bit at 1k and my real truck I daily is only 2k😂. I spend all my money on scx24s they’re cheaper and doesn’t take as long to be able to buy but then you get so many of them plus parts and then it all adds up to one of the scx6
That rig certainly takes up some serious shop space. Great video sir!
Yours too! That outdoor intro shot shows the scale really well
I've spent most of the afternoon watching all the review videos for this model. I'm curious; how long have you guys had this and kept it under wraps?
I was completely gobsmacked when I received the email from Horizon earlier today. Totally did not see this one coming.
I need a Garage now
@@bamabiker750 I’ve had it for about a month or so.
@@scalebuildersguild that must have been HARD to keep to yourself 😅
I’m just seriously impressed that Fed ex was able to deliver anything, let alone a huge 25 lb truck
fedex weight limit is a 150lbs fyi.
I bought a 70lb kettle bell on Amazon Prime once. The box was pretty banged up but the driver actually got it to my door.
With this thing,would an axial scx24 be considered scale points if it was strapped on the roof?
LOL
Scale points... we're going to need a new class and rulebook for the comps, now. Look what you've gone and done!
Lol I ordered an scx 6 today I have a scx 24 so I will let you know haha
That price tag is so steep but it’s a beautiful rig!
The motor alone retails for $250
15 months and counting! I came back to watch your review again because I’m still saving up so I can purchase an SCX6 JLU one day, can’t wait! 👍✌️

I thought it was the redcat marksman at first.
CRAZY!!!
I would love to see the original Wraith make a come back in 1/6 scale. That platform was so open to be a basher and a crawler.

I've recently bought 1/5th Scale Buggies and Desert Trucks... A Crawler was needed! 👌
I've pre-ordered the Aluminum one!!
You've got more than enough room up front, where if you wanted to get 10mm LEDs, for a flooding light, it looks easy enough. 😉
I hope people and manufacturers jump on this!!!! I'm excited, bigger is better!
Would be awesome to see the gladiator follow this path too!
Thanks for the Hugh updates, I am going to see one tomorrow, 3 hour round trip.
I tought I was a 1/10 scale fan … since I got me a SCX6. For me there is a before and after 1/6 scale! Love it, in my top 3!
Just heard of this tonight on Reddit. Saw about 30 seconds of Axial's intro video, insta-pre-ordered locally and then watched your video through.

19:49. Wow! Thing definitely crawls in superior fashion!!
Yeah looks like he was pulling it up off camera lol. But not saying he was!
I’ll say it again, your reviews and run videos are fantastic!! Nothing like the guy that says it’s gigantic like 18,000 times and never tells you what the vehicle has on/in it and then proceeds to giggle uncontrollably and say things like ‘oh my gosh’, ‘oh wow’, ‘holy crap’ and ‘this thing is awesome!!’ over and over and over again as they just run the thing in some random fashion all the while making the viewer motion sick with the herky jerky videography.

Imagine a Vanquish 1/6 kit VS4-6 😎
@@Cachapeluo Heck yea brother and an RC4wd would be wicked cool
Excited at this scale, what creative things you will do Matt. Definitely will need to get my hands on one of these behemoths!!!!!!!!!!!
That what i am talking about every time i roll out my woodies to the trails. It IS just another level of enjoyment. Thank you for the video!
Couldn't agree more!
I have been waiting for a larger crawler like this for years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really hope other companies take not and start building these bigger crawlers. I would love to see a larger scale TRX4 from Traxxas!!!!
I liked having the review and first drive all in one video. Nice mix with driving video throughout. Looks like a fun truck
Thanks 👍

2 yrs in the hobby. (Mojave&6S senton)
Great video ! U make me want to get it as my first crawler.
👊🏻😎👊🏻
Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays!
Great run down of the new rig. I absolutely love it and welcome a larger size to enjoy. Be interesting to see how it transforms the usual spots.
This is the first video I am seeing this thing go over some serious terrain. Love it
I'm buying this ASAP! I've wanted a large scale crawler like this!
Man I would give anything for half of the collection you have with crawlers very epic builds
I just got mine delivered today in silver and yes it's pretty damn big and heavy! I'm already looking forward to making a few upgrades...
Enjoy it!
Awesomeness....I agree 100% painting the Roof or Vinyl Wrap it
I hope there’s a kit version that they’ll release soon too. Would be amazing especially at this scale!
Great Axial SCX6 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon RC Truck, fantastic technic information and amazing drive video. Thanks and Thumbs up. Greetings Andy.
Thanks a lot!

Some glad I just cleared out my garage and room for this beast
We are all that opening shot. Great work Matt!
They need to make a honcho version of this.
What I really wanna see is some hardbodies come out for it! The scale fun that could be had!
I'm chuffed about this. Looks like a super fun trail truck.
Well since Axial made one, it will sell even though the 1/8th scale crawlers were always glossed over for being too big. Weird. Wonder how long before Traxxas up sizes the TRX4?

What an incredible bit of kit.
Looks great and exciting to see what's next now this gate has been opened. 1/10 scale stuff can be expensive so I dread to find out what price aftermarket items will be on this. Will be more of a neiche market but I guess we will see.
You and Matteo do the best running videos❤️
I’ll wait for a different body though😎
Glad you like them!
I just got my first 1/10 yesterday.
Now I feel like spongebob his first time in sandy’s terrarium.
I NEEEEEED IT!!!!
Nice truck, nice review. Totally agree with your take on Portals. Good work. Love from England.
Man... That's crazy! Just a monster.
Now that's what I call a "Big boy's toy"! awesome.
Considering Axial and Proline are both owned by Horizon Im sure it will get some aftermarket love.
being so large it certainly brings the terrain into a more scale look as well , hopefully proline do a body or two for it and some tyres too, what size are the wheel hubs , im guessing 17mm ? great vid tho
Nice review Mat. Can't wait for Proline to come out with some different bodies for this platform. Maybe some Ford and Chevy pickups, or would the wheel base be to short? The body is nice, but I already have the SCX III JLU.
Good video. I will never have this kind of scale truck, i drive a car to work everyday that is cheaper, but it looks very good, this one.
My big gripe with axial is that they don't do unlocking locking axles like Traxxas
The fact that 3 or 4 scx24s could fit inside it is just crazy
You got me at "It's HUGE!", lmao! Got to have one of these!!! 👍
I’m selling 2 1/10th scale rigs and having to toss a old 1/5th HPI Baja Trophy truck to make room for this Jeep. Prepaid for the new one and can’t wait till they release it.
Came to your review first because you have the best running videos! Looks great in those shots.
Awesome, thank you!
Scratch built 1/6th scale styrene body coming next Matt? LOL. That scale is crazy.
Love your videos man! Ordered one on release day thanks to you and Josh. The videos you guys release are amazing!
Great review, I ordered mine today, seems like it is a hit people are loving it, and I like my big rc, xmaxx been my fav...
Enjoy it and thanks for watching!
That’s enormous and you are a cool guy to purchase it. 🎥👍🤝🏆💰
Excellent video, very nice. Thank you for taking the time to tear into the internals and give some real dimensions. Oh, we cannot wait to get our hands on a few of these.
I think the PL Hyrax for the Losi Super Rock Rey will mount up AS per R.T.
Greatly vid Matt explaining Axial's new green meanie 👍🏴
Thanks! 👍
This will be nice in the cricks that are just too deep to get a 10th scale wet without going too deep. I don't like going above wheel level or so on 10th scale so this will be nice.

The motor isn't rated for 4S, plain and simple.
@@scalebuildersguild They obviously didn't consult Mr. Holmes when making that decision. 🤣 Interesting but I don't dig large scale so not for me.
The price is the real reason this is comical!

There is a dude named Bermpeakexpress who bashes it on 4s
Yay now we have $2000 trucks. Thanks for sharing
👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
No problem 👍
You'll never need to drive to work again with that tow truck set-up 🤣🤣🤣🏁😆👍.
I’m in awe! This is awesome! I hope it inspires a completely new market.
I hope so too!
BTW the intro is going to be a classic! 👍👍👍
I’m holding out for the SCX1
Dam that thing is really YUUUGE!!! I'm glad it exists, but I don't think I add that to my collection. I can't imagine carrying it to the car with my other gear, and don't have any place I could park it). But given it's size, I'm sure it'll be a ton of fun on the trail. :-)
Awesome, thank you for your info. I am supporting your channel
I own a Traction hobby cragsman 1/8 scale and love the larger scale and seems like Axial have learnt some things with larger scale that i wish that Traction hobby would do, namely the links..
So nice! I had a feeling someone would do this...can't wait to see if others will follow.
Very thorough review. Very nice Tiny Truck? Can we still call it that? I really like how the tires go from clean to dirty in the review.
Waiting on the Gladiator version
I literally just bought a gladiator because of the gladiator builds lol I like the size of this one because I’ve always thought crawlers were a little small I understand the weight but they have always looked more toyish because of the size. This looks proportional like you said I wish I would of known about these because I would of waited 😭
This is awesome jeep 1:6. Scale . Thank you for the info. Wish ford bronco RC will come out with a 1:6 scale too.
SCX 6 gladiator? Please
Great video Matt, but I can't even look at that thing. I think they missed an oportunity there. When you look at something at this scale, you wanna see more details, not stickers for hinges and headlights. Looks pretty dull and toy-like.

The redcat is under 500 for the same size.

Please Axial, release a green Gladiator in this scale. I think it'll sell.... I'm ready to throw my money your way.
Cool video.
A fun SBG presentation and that is a big rc truck! Cool running footage in the park. Thank you :-)

My pleasure! Thanks for the kind words!
Great review! Love the idea. NAJ (not another jeep), I hope some one prints a Toyota body….
I hope they release this in kit form putting it together would be awesome.
So very cool. It's likely not for me. But if there ever comes an SCX6 Deadbolt...
Epic truck. Cool, but I don't think I'll be getting one. The 10iii JLU is just so satisfying for me, it will continue to be my go-to.
Definitely gonna be buying one unfortunately probably not for a little bit at 1k and my real truck I daily is only 2k😂. I spend all my money on scx24s they’re cheaper and doesn’t take as long to be able to buy but then you get so many of them plus parts and then it all adds up to one of the scx6
SCX24s are great! There are tonnes of great things you can do with them, and take up a lot less space. Thanks for watching!
