Some info about the Axial SCX102: www.axialracing...
The SCX10 has been the vehicle of choice for scale trail fun! For the past 8 years the SCX10 has been the staple vehicle platform for scale trail enthusiasts around the world. Axial was one of the first companies to embrace R/C rock crawling and the first to mass produce a scale trail truck. Axial has been watching trends, tirelessly testing, and experimenting to create the next evolution of the SCX10. The SCX10 II is the culmination of many years of development, furthering aesthetic realism while maximizing trail performance. The next generation of SCX10 is here!
The original AX10 axle was developed in 2007 for Axial’s first kit, the AX90001 Axial AX10 Scorpion RC Comp 10 - 1/10th Scale Rock Crawler - Electric Kit. In 2008, the AX10 axle was used in the SCX10 chassis, which paved the way for the scale trail scene.
While developing the next iteration of axles such as the AR60, we started thinking about what kind of axle would be more suited for the future of the SCX10. Our design of a new axle needed to feature three key points. First, we wanted the axle housing to visually quench the thirst of scale enthusiasts. Second, we needed to create a gear set with the technical attributes to overcome the torque twist that is often associated with smaller gear sets. Third, the axle itself needed to be durable.
After seven years of utilizing the original AX10 axle and two years of development, Axial is proud to introduce the industry's first high pinion gear set in our newly developed AR44 axle! The next chapter of the Axial SCX10 begins with true technological engineering and scale realism!

Excellent work on sprucing up the RTR, but just one question. Is it truly a Hemistorm paint job without the use of Champagne Anodized Aluminum?
Hahaha, that made me laugh! Thanks man!
Awesome repaint skin!

jk, 😈
Hahaha!
You're somethin' else, you know that? This one was just so simple, but beautiful!
That is very kind of you :)
Impressive!
Cheers Luke!
Nice job man!
Looks fantastic! One question - when you paint bodies on the outside, do you ever have issues with the paint scratching or chipping when the vehicle rolls over or hits something? I'm planning to paint a body on the outside, and I'd like to know if there are any precautions I should take.
Just saw this today although it not recommended it will work. However when it scrathes it might dig down tocthe old paint or whatever lexan color its made from.
awesomely done dude! !!
Thank you!
that my friend is the dogs BOLLOCKS ! outstanding
Haha, thank you Justin!
Great work as normal mate :-)
Cheers Neil!
Your welcome!
cool to see you using tape again!!! :)
I'm still not tired of it, it offers great possibilities!

Cheers bud!

Cheers Chris!
Nice work!
Cheers Ben!

Thanks Jay!
Wow, you do such amazing work! Great job bro and a big Thumbs up! ;-)
Thank you! I hope you are well!
HemiStorm RC - Custom RC builds, painting videos and more Your welcome! We are doing the best we can! Thanks bro for caring! ;-)
Straight into the action, no blah-blah-blah - Showed all the important stuff without padding. Great video! But as mentioned in other comments, I did miss the Champagne Anodized Aluminum (or did you spray that as an undercoat to make scratches look more authentic?) ;-)
Hahaha, I had to really hold back to not use it!
Amazing sir!
Thank you, sir!
Awesome body👍
Thanks Kenny!
Very Good job!!
Glad you like it!
Fantastic!
so good man...
Cheers bud.
hello. as i can see, u just put a new layers onto original one, right? so i just buy a colour i want and just spray it? no matt the surfece before? cheers!
That is absolutely right. Have fun!
very nice wheel bro!
Thank you!
Great job !!
Amazing. I worry about painting the outside of a body because I don't want to scratch it all up.
It stays very well put, just give it a shot.
That would be a cool paint job on my real xj!!!!
Make it happen, haha!
very cool
Thank you, Jeffery!
nice job!
Cheers!
Sick man really amazing.
Thanks!
waho is did a great job, I congratulate you, thank you very much for sharing 👍 👍 👌 👏
Thank you, and you are welcome!
dang my axial kit scx 10 II was a clear lexan body.
Then you have the kit, I did a painting video on that one as well. :)
I bought the hard body one and have stuff that is not on the directions, go figure, by any chance you do a painting video on that one?
I can try doing one later this year!
Was wondering , would spray paint that one would use on lexan body work on the hard plastic body? Or do I need to buy a different type?
WoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW very nice work
I have a couple questions on how to do this right. Christmas is coming up and I have to buy a present for one of my little cousins. Hes a huge Chase Elliot fan so I wanna customer paint a car for him. Does it matter was kind of spray paint I use? Or do you recommend a certain brand? Will the spray paint chip and get scratched off if he plays with it? Last question, if it's an already colored car does it make a huge difference?
Sorry for the long post but I really wanna do this for him and want to do it right.
New intro? Nice video btw. Thumbs up!
Sometimes I switch it up a bit, thanks!
So you just paint over the old paint?
awesome dude! youre a real interesting and inspirational person. i gotta ask what kind of career do you have? its gotta be an artistic one! love watching your vids.
I'm a carpenter by trade. Thank you for the kind words!
Does that have some kind of clear coat over it? I have some badly painted second hand bodies and was hoping this would show how to remove paint without fogging up the clear
Yes, I used the PS55 flat clear from Tamiya. It works fantastic!
Thank you very much for showing such a great breakdown on how to paint an awesome scheme like this. Im curious though on two things. 1. Do you have to go light color to darker color on the pattern colors and 2. that last paint detail you did, was that clear coat? if so how many coats did you do? Thanks
amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi! I want to paint my RTR TRX-4 Defender, but I don't want to buy a new body, at least not yet, so it will be reliable to paint over the prepainted body? What do you recommend me? Thanks!
awesome
Thanks man!
HemiStorm RC - Custom RC builds, painting videos and more WYour welcome bro :)
Do I need to primer lexan outer body shell first
You make it look so easy. How?
nice 👍
old video but looks great
Trying to do this...ill tell you hiw ut turned out later
Please do, have fun!
so? how did it turn out?
How durable is an outside body paint? From cracking etc? I really wanna do this to my rtr painted body
Very cool video Chris👊 Stellar execution!! I'm curious... how well does the paint hold up ? well I guess we'll find out soon enough after some running video🍻
Very well, it kind of fuses with the lexan and forms a very strong surface. No worries on durability!
@@hemistormrc hiya buddy just a quick question. What type of paint should be used on an rc body?
I love your moves! M
3:48 is that a paint clear coat you're putting on there? Does that kinda lock in the paint or smooth out the surface a little? Just curious. Thanks.
Hi Steve, it does both actually. It is way easier to take pictures of a truck with a dull finish as well.
Fantastic job man! I really like your videos. But I have to ask, do you live in Norway? In this video there's a Norwegian milk carton in the backgorund :P
I do indeed, I live in Halden.
wuaooo
fantastic!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great looking Rig Buddy, just bought a Land Rover hard body my self, ill deffo try something like that aswell :) any tips about what paint I have to use ?
Best Jannick / Denmark
Hello Jannick, start with a good Tamiya plastic primer, and use regular automotive paint afterwards. It is the cheapest and most efficient way to do it.
Perfectomondo !!
Haha, thank you man!
Hey, I'm looking for an entry-level Short Course and was hoping you could help me out. I currently have the HPI Blitz, the HPI Jumpshot SC and the Team Associated SC10 as options. Which one should I get?
The Proline Pro 2. Seriously. The code Hemistorm10 gets you a 10% discount in their webstore, putting it right in your budget.
To those who say perfection is not of this world I would say: go watch Chris's videos!
Haha, that is far too kind.
would you mind telling me all the collor you used??
Hi Tiffany. I used a silver, silver anodised aluminium, gun metal, white and black I believe.
Can i buy any spray paint and do that onto a PVC rtr body? Thanks
Ho there, with PVC do you mean an ABS hard body?
HemiStorm RC - Custom RC builds, painting videos and more Sorry not sure what that is, I mean just a rtr body that isn't lexan e.g. pvc. :)
+zHyper well for lean bodies we use polycarbonate type paint. maybe if your application is pvc, maybe try plastic type instead of polycarbonate. but if I were u I would try polycarbonate type paint first
Bro. What lights are those in the roof?
how purchage it?
Link is in the description. :)
OoO way too cool to drive and scratch it though XD
Auch hier? :D
It's never too cool to use it, it will only look better when I do. :)
wow
can you share the exact tamiya colors that you've used?
Let's see, black, white, silver anodized aluminum, gun metal, silver, bright silver and a flat clear to seal everything.
Correct me if I'm wrong, for the camo part I think there are 5 colors, right?
-the base gray
-white
-aluminum silver
-gun metal
-black
Which white and which black? cause there are so many options
how many coats of clear did you put on?
I just eyeball it until it looks flat enough. :)
How did you get the stickers back on?
I didn't, masked them off or replaced them with paint. Thank you for watching!
Where is the light bar from?
From Proline! :)
Dam A1 🔥
High five!
