  • I have been doing a lot with the brand new Axial SCX10iii Base Camp - but it is time to get it out in the wild!
    I took the truck to Long Hunter State Park here in TN to see how it handles a longer trail drive and the rocks that are offered there at the park.
    Overall, the truck is really doing well - but clearly has a few more things for improvement on it.

    I think this is a good all around truck I've tested many surfaces and terrain and it does good in all conditions nice run

      Thanks!
      I still want to do more to it though.
      That rear bumper is really hanging up on things - and now if I catch it in reverse - it starts to bend down. No good.
      I'm a big fan of overdrive, so want to throw that and some weight at the front axle also.

    I'd say it passed the trail test with flying colors. That's a beautiful state you live in Troy! Great video as always. Many thanks.👍👍

    Definitely looked like it performed a little better, yes I agree that a 1080 would help it fly under the radar 👍🏼

      @RoadsideRC  2 роки тому +1

      YES! It is really starting to come together.
      MUCH more planned though. Need to get it down low - improve that center of gravity, and I like to try some overdrive and adding a little weight to the front axle.

    I thought it did pretty great actually. It tackled a couple spots there that I didn't think it would make.

    What a great place to have to go crawling and trailing. Awesome.
    The truck didn't sound too loud, but I know what you mean. I didn't think my TRX4 was noisy, but compared to my new (to me) belt drive Carisma Sca1e Coyote, it sounds like a bag of spanners!!! That's running a Holmes Hobby Crawlmaster Sport motor and a Hobbywing 1080. I might try to change the settings, as you mentioned. Cheers. 👍🏻

    • @RoadsideRC
      @RoadsideRC  2 роки тому +1

      Yes! I found the PWM setting on the Hobbywing 1080 had the opportunity to quiet a motor down. Not 100%, but helped some.

    Very enjoyable video. Beautiful area you live in. I saw the BF Goodrich Baha tires, but can I ask what wheels you're running? They look nice and I'm about
    to upgrade mine from stock today down at my local shop here in Florida. Thank you!!

    I have a canyon trail tires with some beadlock wheels on my new base camp and when i turn to the right, the back of the wheels rub on the spring of the shock. Does yours do that with your wheels that u have on this video?
    Idk why, its weird. I will have to buy hub extenders i guess to fix that problem.

    • @RoadsideRC
      @RoadsideRC  Рік тому +1

      It is just all about the geometry there. It is a fairly common thing when you are trying to max steering angle - something will always hit!
      You nailed it - some hub extenders will do the trick. On this truck, I ran these: amzn.to/48RzMGZ

      Like you said, most state parks are good if you are respectful.

      Yeah, it is OK. I promise, better in person than folks make it out to be. You get used to it real fast.
      I have plans to really cut it up and make it look worse. :)
