Bought my daughter the deadbolt for Christmas last year and after swapping out my esc from my gladiator, adding a light kit, and a camera mount for it she absolutely loves it!!!

I have this truck as 1/24. Really enjoy it. Upgraded the shocks and steering link and servo link. That took the bounce of the suspension out.

Good platform for newbies! Tons of aftermarket parts to make it your own custom rig. Endless possibilities!

You can't go wrong with the SCX10ii. Excellent intro RC and the aftermarket support as you said is good. Vanquish parts always good. Pro Line tires. Like button energized.

I wanted to mention one additional thing. When I clicked on the link for this crawler it takes you to the Horizon listing for one price. At the same time when you go to Horizon or Tower the name of the crawler for the past version is the same as the 2022 version and it's cheaper. Some people might think they're buying the new one. They definitely need to have a different name for the listing.

I think the cheaper version you’re seeing is the previous version (green rig I show) I’m sure they’ll take that listing down soon as it appears stock has run out.

@@rcdriver You're right. Older version is green. It's out of stock in some places, but it's still available on Horizon, Amazon etc. It would've been nice to add 2022 to the title.

I just received an email from Horizon telling about the new release.

I thought this is a great video with a brief intro and a demonstration of the crawler's capability. It appears to be a great crawler.

Thank you for this REVIEW

So I just got the SCX24 DEADBOLT version from my brother for Christmas. Finally took it to my local hobby store crawler track. It's my first crawler and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed my first crawling experience. I might get this one in your video. 😅

The more options to potentially get someone into the hobby is great!

Always liked the Deadbolt body style, now the blue takes it up a notch. I'd have to go with the skull guy in it.

The motocross driver 4sure 👍🚲💨 Thanks for the review. The SCX 10 II here to stay ❤

Cool RC and great off-roading review

I love my 1/24 deadbolt. It's more fun than my EXC Temper. I've got to get one of these!

The 315 would have been nice. But the SLT protocol is good. I’ll never forget chatting with a custom RC boat company that said they only use SLT radios in their $1000+ boats.

It would have been nice if you’re already in the Spektrum system. Or for a beginner upgrading. They’re most likely going to a dx5c or rugged.

Definitely the skull...I got a skull head driver for my Axial '69 Chevy Blazer...

So basically they ran out of stock of the original Electronics they use for the deadbolt and then re-released it with different electronics that cost more? Groundbreaking axial, just groundbreaking😒

No law in RC that says every RC has to be ground breaking. Simply continuing to serve the incoming base of our community is an admirable gesture by Axial.

Old Greg you're funny. Forget that Axial noise. Years ago I would've recommended the SCX10 II for beginners but, there have been so many better options since then. You'd be better off with a Gmade GS02F, Carisma SCA-1E 2.1 or a Element RC Enduro.

@@rcdriver Yeah definitely. Back in my racing days in the 80s and 90s it was like that. First it was you were either a Tamiya fan or a Kyosho fan. Then in the 90s you were either Team Associated or Team Losi. Granted there were other brands but, when it came to racing, there was the big rivalry. Honestly, I'd buy from Axial if they still made nitro engines but, those days are long gone.

Hi. Never owned an scx10 platform rig before, can the dog bones be swapped to cvd ?

If only they would make the interior able to add your own 6 inch figure this would be awesome.

Got this far without an SCX anything and nothing here is gonna change that.

We already had the deadbolt, it’s time for something actually new. This is 💩. Axial needs to go back to the drawing board and start listening to there customers. We want the 6x6 unimog not this old crap that can you can get for 200 bucks on Amazon . I’m really surprised you even bothered reviewing this. Kinda a waste of your time and everyone else’s.

What a joke by Axial probably parts left over so they made this im not impressed
