New Axial SCX10III BaseCamp - The best SCX10III?

This as a raw builders kit (no wheels/tires electronics or body but with straight axles) would be an amazing success. I could see most of us having more than one if it was offered this way…

Definitely want to see a 10.3 raw builder's kit! With no tires/wheels, electronics or body it would become the go-to platform for high performance builds and would offer stiff competition to Element's kit if similarly priced.

I would like to see this as a kit with the straight axles!

Great work Matt. I think this base camp will serve as the future base line for a high performance crawlers with a few simple modifications. I’m excited to get one set up with some performance mods

Somehow your polite bemusement in these reviews is more devastating to the product than someone trying to be critical or mean on purpose. Maybe it’s just a Canadian thing but I really enjoy it 😄

Just get an Enduro. Problem solved! I will say that if they released this in a kit with ar45 straight axles or even ar44 3 piece straight axles and could hit a price point of $240-250, I think it would be a huge hit. I'd def buy one or two lol

I love it, I have an scx10iii already but hate getting it wet, simple is much easier to work on after getting it muddy

I wondered what Axial was going to do with all those portal axles! Good review. I like how you got right down to the core of things quickly with the transmission and showing the internals. I’m excited about this RTR and think a lot of people will choose this over the Traxxas. Also, shout out to the real true star of the video Mr Rear Bumper Leaf! 🍂🔥🍂 🔥💪

Great review👍 completely agree about the licensing issue a base model RTR should not have any unessasary cost considering that the TRX4 sport has no licensed components that should have been a move axial paid attention to.

Awesome job of filming this video Matt and what a fantastic area to drive in, love the terrain there. I was going to pass on this rig until you made the comment about using it as a loaner truck, what a great idea. I have a small fortune of both time and money invested in my trucks and feel very uncomfortable at the thought of letting a newbie try out one of the rigs especially on our home course. Having something like this for guests to run would take away all that anxiety of them using my more expensive ones however I wouldn't want to spent a lot for something that would be used only once and a while. Anyways another great video, mind you the soundtrack this time was a little, monotonous for most of it but hey you cant please em all. Thanks for the great review, keep em coming.

I actually just picked this up for how simple it is. It’s like a great starting point for new crawler drivers. I will definitely trim the front fender arch after seeing how badly it rubs under full compression steering. I for one actually dig the body. Again, simple and i won’t mind getting it dirty and scratched up and just using it on the trails

Needs to come as a kit with straight & portal axle versions.

I'll recommend this to someone wanting to test out hobby. Looks like a good matchup to the Element's but since I already have 3 Elements, not sure I'd pick that over a Sendero Hd. if only for parts.... but they really did seem to be shooting for value here. accounts making decisions ? Yes it would make a terrific Raw builders base kit. toss the parts you don't want or build as is.

Great video Matt. I appreciate your opinion and views on the Basecamp. This would be a great contender for a budget build off.

Good morning from Israel, as the owner of Axial 2 Cherokee a few years ago rtr and today I have Axial 3 bought as a kit people happy to see the hybrid beast that came out of the two above vehicles .... less complex and more reliability and net enjoyment.this rig will be hugely successful in my opinion and as usual .... the buyers will improve it with brushles and fuels .... as it comes it is not enough .... for you - an amazing video as always well explained in a convincing and fascinating way! well done!

I love axial crawlers. I've had my scx10 I for probably 7 years at this point and I've only had to replace a servo. my nephew is 4yrs old and he beats the crap out of it and it still runs great 👍 I love my scx6 even more now that I have an RS2500 servo in it now

Looks pretty fun to drive, with good performance. An ok starting point for somebody new to the hobby. It's unfortunate it's more expensive than a TRX4 Sport. I like the quieter and simpler transmission. I'm still very happy with my 10.3 JLU RTR.

Perfect timing on the video as I have a friend who wants to get back into the hobby being his son is old enough (5 years old) and asked me about this truck as he definitely wants an axial rig so I sent him this video. I told him I have zero experience with the scx10 lll but I have the scx10 ll honcho and deadbolt for several years now and both took a ton of abuse. I also told him they're both much cheaper and me personally is a good platform to start for an rtr. But that's just my opinion,lol

If this were a raw builders kit, I would purchase almost immediately. Thank you for such a great review, as per usual.

I absolutely love my basecamp. Out of the box it was way to light and definitely ate fenders with the suspension cycle. Since my first run its now on a vs410 chassis and a jk body with treal strait axles and a 3 gear transmission so maybe its not a basecamp at this point but i still loved it in its stock form.
