BEST BUILD YET! Axial SCX10.3 Trailing, Upgrades & Kit Highlights
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I know it has been WAYY too long since my last video, but I'm back with a (long overdue) SCX10.3 kit build. In this video, I do some trailing in the Pacific Northwest, share highlights from the build, talk about the electronics I spec'd this with, share my early upgrades and initial impressions.
Spoiler - this was one of my favorite builds to date.
Thanks so much to the companies that provided product for this video: Tekin Racing, Team Ottsix Racing, Knight Customs, MyTrickRC, Proline Racing, and Powerhobby.

The Beach scene and the rock crawl at the falls could have had us fooled that this was a full scale vehicle and not a RC Model. Excellent detail from RC Girl, Haley.
I really enjoy your videos because your enthusiasm for the hobby is infectious and your attention to detail really shows in the quality of your builds. It also doesn't hurt that you find some really beautiful places to video. Great work as usual.
Good to see you posting again after a lengthy hiatus. Your videos have undergone a major transformation since the old days. Always good, they are even better now. Thanks for sharing.
Great to see that your back and very nice job done with the scx10 3. No need to rush a build and by taken your time you can choose your upgrades wiselly. Love the color and those HALO's wauwww they look great👍
Great build, great video. This is the first "crawler" video I've watched. I discovered your channel while surfing RC Plane videos, and enjoyed a couple of those that you put up, so subscribed. Now, this! I'm actually amazed at the complexity of your build; I can see why it might have kept you busy for a couple of months. I'm mainly into DCC model railroading myself, but it's interesting to see what's going on in other hobbies. I'm definitely going to go back and check out your previous "crawler" videos. Thanks for posting them.
I really love your vids! ❤️ I think what I like most is your craftsmanship and attention to detail. You have a very skilled hand and great eye for detail. You have inspired me to try my hand at a hard body crawler. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

Great video!!! I really like how you touch on all the upgrades with enough detail but not a complete install on them. I enjoy all your videos so please keep up the good work!!!
Amazing crawler footage and editing as usual! And the build looks incredible! That paint job is absolutely awesome! Thanks for posting the video! (I can’t believe I’m 2 days late watching it.) Also good to hear you’re doing ok. Just want to say I hope you haven’t been impacted by the fires. Take care, and thanks again!
Great job on the build RC girl . Love the color , looks awesome in the sunlight. What a beautiful spot, that waterfall just breathtaking, just like you, had to throw a compliment in there !! Glad you're back, Love your channel and what you do. This hobby is my passion too !! I love it. Until the next one.
Wow! R/C vehicles have come a long way since the R/C bug bit me in the mid 70’s. I’m mainly into aircraft but after watching this video, this crawler is definitely a future purchase. Thank you for your videos, very well done 👍

Its a great rig for sure! Welcome to ground rc 😊
For drag brake , run a Y cable to two speed so as u are in low gear drag brake will engage in high off ,as for winch can always go wireless ...I use the Y two speed setup on a TRX 4 with mamba x and auxiliary cable . Nice build love the color 👍
Love your build. I wish I was able to build this for myself, but hand tremors from 1 of my medication doesn’t allow me to do a build. If I tried it myself, I’d have a tire mounted on the hood. I’m enjoying your channel.
The detail you put into everything is noticed!! Beautiful rig!
Love the color! Glad you were able to come up the pnw for a visit. I live in Port Angeles! So much good rc playground goodness around here!
Fantastic video. I built my SCX 10 iii in June With HW 1080 esc, Holmes Hobby 550 torque master expert motor, Savox 1210 servo and a Flysky gt5 radio system. I painted a dark gray. I like the color you painted yours because it’s not to dark. The dark gray I painted mine the decals don’t stand out. I love your videos keep up the good work.
Build is gorgeous! Looked like a great spot to go crawling. Vid's worth the wait. Be well & stay safe.
Sweet I just built two of those last week spaz sticks candy orange and candy blue already broke a stock panhard mount got a treal aluminum integrated shock towers future proof (later non portal option) love ya✌️
Didn't see the link for programming the shift servos on the DX5. My first SCX10.3/DX5 and I smoked the dig servo while setting up. Also didn't realize there's a lockout spacer in the shifter. Always enjoy when you take us for a drive, peaceful and relaxing 😌
I had to get MyTrickRC square attack light kit for my Cherokee. Is sooo bright and i just have the headlights. Your the only one with a video on Cherokee headlights. Thanks Happy off roading!

Love the video. great job on the rig. tons of, just enough great information and not TMI. awesome camera work. looking forward to the next vid.
Having a trx4, I never thought I would want an scx but the scx10 3 gladiator is so tempting. That paint looks great btw
Hey girl, watched a few of your video's and they're all fun to watch. Good editing, nice job! Those foams look cool and that body is WOW. Almost finished my 8y old son's SCX10 III and looking forward to drive it! I hope there will follow more scx10 video's! Grtz from Belgium!

Nice to see ladies getting out there showing there talents
Awesome truck and footage. Can't decide between this and the TRX-4 Blazer. I think I'm leaning towards the TRX-4, but I do see myself getting both and some point. Thanks
Love the color nice job just got mine a month ago and not finished cause I can't decide the color but other then that she's running excellent and keep up the great work hope all is well and have a wonderful day.
very nice truck, I really like the way you keep it scale most are climbing huge rocks and it looks unreal so rediculas its funny. Keep up the great builds and videos a pleasure to watch Cheers.
Nice to hear from you again love those falls I've been there's before🙂 awesome job on your Jeep came out really nice 👌
You were worried about the paint? It turned out great! At certain points it even looked green (like a forest or hunter) Love how you painted the hard top different than the body, sets it off nice.
Brings back memories from en trip i haven taken years ago...portland to L A😀all down the coast...thanks Haley
wahou !! this jeep is simply awesome !!! I love all details on this truck !! , youn make a cool job my friend ! , I realy like the result !! cheers from france , and stay safe !! :-)
Nice rig! Looking forward to see what you find in a 6 channel+ Tx. I'd love to stay with a Spektrum Smart Tx for the battery life read out, etc, but 5 channels isn't enough. I have a Flysky 6 channel Tx that's great, but channels 5 & 6 are dials, not switches, which isn't ideal for 2 speeds, DIG's, winches, lights, etc. Don't feel like changing everything to Futaba.
R/C girl glad to see your ok and well. Wondered where you went. Your vacation photos are fantastic. Nice review on the SCX10-3. I bought the Gladiator RtR on Tuesday. It’s pretty cool. It does need a few minor tweaks. Thank for info on servo winch mount and other cool stuff. Thanks
Color turned out GREAT!!! Looks like a lot of fun building and running.
The natural scenery in the intro is amazing. The pilot is beautiful, too. Beautiful scenery, beautiful rc car, beautiful pilot.
Cool job and beautiful landscape!
Always Worth The Wait Beautiful Build Great Color Awsome Play Grounds Just All Around Kool Video Thank You.
Loving my scx10 3 gladiator, great release. Minus the dig servo which is weaker than a baby pinky. Can't beat the old traxxas blues for micro servos in my opinion.
Wow that colour is stunning and cool, nice too see you are ok and still doing vids 🤘👍. Take care with what's going on 👍 hope to see more cool vids
Great paint job!!!
Black grill is perfectly matching with the body colour!!! Love the build👌😍😍😍!!!
Great Video! Really informative! Keep up the good work!
Dang I’ve got the same one in all black without the hardtop though,omgosh I love that color though -like a faint metallic Olivish color though 😍...gnarly!-thanks for sharing your positive vibe and your take on personal recent RC experiences and geographic sceneries you ventured😄😄😄😁😁☺️ ☺️😌😌😌🤙🏽
Came out nice! Great job as usual, nice paint scheme and crawling. 💪🏾💯
Great video as always! I just picked up the Gladiator. Can't wait to give it a try.
Another great video, and a really nice build. Great choice on the color.
I just ordered this kit from Horizon Hobby. This will be my very first RC build and I am looking forward to it. Thanks RC Girl for a very good video!

Wow a lot harder than I thought it would be. I'm not good with tools, so I am seeking help from friends who have built this sort of kit before. Definitely do not get this if you are like me. Get the RTR version instead.
I love the colour choice!
Awesome video I'm thinking of getting one of those or the gladiator not sure which one yet though.. lol . I absolutely love the color you went with it looks way cool .. 🤙🏼✌🏼
Good video..it shows the interest u have..keep up👍🏻 RC Girl

Nice build. I don't have the patience for such a detailed build. The lights are very cool, I might add them to my Axial crawler.
Beautifully done
Just saw this again 🙂 It deserved some more credit. Really great work you did there👍🙂
Love the detailed vid. Super nice rig.
welcome back RC Girl!! brava!
Great video as usual. As a suggestion, why don't you free up a channel on your Tx by getting rid of the on/off switch for the light kit? Turning on an off the lights is cool but you can just plug in the lights when you indent to run at night. Now you'd have a spare channel for the winch. You'd want one of the three position switches for the winch.
Absolutely love these new 6 bolt ring gears!!!
Yes, that is some awesome bodywork, love that color.
Thank you for a nice informative video with good tips and advice as always! Champagne colour, that explains why I got thirsty watching the video :-). I was about to write the red differensial covers looked toy grade on a otherwise high quality kit, but you solved it with the Treal diff covers, and now the axels looks scale like the rest. Axials lexan bodys now look very nice and sharp in all nooks and corners, and it shows you can have a scale trail truck in lexan now, it really comes close to the plastic bodys in details, especially kitted out with nicely selected aftermarket details, like the hinges you chose, will you glue, or use very small screws for an even more scale look to attach them? I look forward to see this truck when it is broken in and on a trial course like in your backyard with some challenging obstacles for it, perhaps you can make a comparision video with the Traxxas Defender you have? Axial portal axles vs Traxxas portal axles :-). A very nice build by the way, and airbrushing really made the paint nice! Cheers.
Good job on the video, i know that takes time and energy but it's well edited. I am curious about the ottsix foam, per the forums.. i went with crawler innovations so i wonder how those compare?
Another great build and awesome awesome awesome choice in color!!!!! Keep up the great work
Awesome looking truck, so man mods, not sure I could justify the spend as I have so many other interests buts interesting to know what you can do. I was just watching a video on the Absima CR3.4 jeep copy, comes fully loaded at a very keen price but wonder watch’s the catch, now I know.
I just love my flysky noble 4 or nb4 transmitter and the receivers are super affordable… I have 8 channels on my trx4 2021 bronco… you should look into it, spektrum receivers are very expensive
Excellent video, a beautiful RC
Hé RC Girl, nice you post a video again. And what a fine one. Beautiful color on the jeep and a wonderfull environment.
Awesome video and really comprehensive review! I was looking out my window at 12:15 and i had to relisten as i thought i heard something else XD. It was me who sent a video to you on the transmission clicking fix. Did you get a chance to give that a try yet?
Yours is a lot nicer than some of the others online that I've seen! Good job Hayley

I would suggest checking out Flysky for radios, pretty solid for less money than the Spektrum stuff. I have one of each and the build quality and functionality are equal. Though the Spektrum is a 4 channel and the Flysky is a 10 channel for an up coming snow plow build. The Pacific northwest is a beautiful place to go do anything outdoors.

I never knew there was so much to rc cars/crawlers/bashers I'm more into planes. An affordable tx Spektrum compatible dsmx/dsm2 option I've found is Orangerx from Hobbyking, about half the price of Spektrum. You mentioned your truck isn't waterproofed yet, what's involved with that? Is it a matter of sealing the vehicle with some kind of caulk or do you conformal coat the electronics? You did an amazing job with the kit and your upgrades, your footage looked like a full scale jeep! Amazing!

@@RCGirl I'll keep that in mind planning on buying the FliteTest Widgeon and as a seaplane I'll be flying off lake Washington, I'll coat the internal organs & try not to crash. My RC group is trying to make the hobby less unattractive to women, as an exception to the general rule that the majority of women have little interest in RC, besides being more evolved what drew you to it and do you have any suggestions? I believe man, woman or third option anyone who gets to try it oncewill become more interested if not immediately addicted, is there anything you can recommend to get more women to try it?
