Start with your favorite scale trail chassis — the Axial® SCX10™ II. Top it off with electronics and your choice of body, tires, and wheels. Now you’ve got a custom rig with proven performance and a look that’s all yours: the Axial SCX10 II Raw Builder’s Kit!
In 2008 Axial introduced its first SCX10 as a builder’s kit that avoided the technical hurdles of scratch-building. Scale trail enthusiasts could focus their attention on other things, like visually personalizing their rig. The SCX10 chassis platform proved to be a highly effective driving machine. Standout features included an all-metal twin C-channel frame, solid transmission, and axles with realism and capabilities to match.
With the SCX10 II, Axial kept the essence of the SCX10 and its metal frame rail chassis, but added scale AR44™ high pinion axles, a chassis-mounted servo, redesigned transmission, front mounted battery tray, all aluminum suspension links, suspension designed for nearly zero bump steer, and more.
These are some of the features that make the SCX10 II optimized for performance. Now, with the Raw Builder’s Kit version, you can drive a machine that’s as personal as it is capable!

Has anyone gotten this kit yet?? I am looking at crawlers in the $200ish price range that are RTR, but as I have extra tires, servos, motors, etc, this might be an alternative.
Any thoughts on that guys?? Compared to a RedCat Gen7, an ExceedRC crawler, etc that is RTR what would I be better off doing? |

I picked up this kit for my wife, largely for the reasons you posted. My wife wanted a custom body if she was going to enjoy doing driving with me and our son, and I already had all the extras except an extra ESC, which is cheap. The build has been pleasant and the SCX10 ii chassis is very reliable. One major disappointment was that the transmission is not the same as the full kit, so you can't drop a 2 speed conversion into it. Had I known this from the beginning, I would have probably gone a different route. That aside, I'm happy with this because it gives all of the parts for all three major wheelbase options. Her build is going to require the short wheelbase, but it can be swapped for a long wheelbase later with no additional purchases. I can't compare it to the other brands you listed, though, as I've never driven those.

A friend and I both bought our first ever rock crawlers last month, he bought the SCX10.2 and I bought a Gmade Sawback (he had more money). Both kits are pretty good quality but the scx has a better turning circle and a fraction more movement in the chassis, I like the Sawback though as it's unique looking.
We've both started buying useless bling for the cars... |

Only issue I've really seen about the kit is it uses plastic body shocks...how do those look? Quote:
As far as useless bling, that's half the fun ![]() |

Yeah my friend has easily spent over a grand on his SCX10.2. All the alloy upgrades and extras even though he rarely drives it and these things are all pretty tough out of the box and generally only potter along at walking speed. I scored the open cockpit Sawback, goes well just needs some bigger wheels. |

Yeah it's crazy the money people put into something that goes like 10 mph
![]() The Sawback looks awesome, I like those wheels/tires you have on there. Are they stock? If so then they look pretty scale, if not then good choice! I don't believe the Sawbacks are as popular over here in the US; don't see much about them compared to the Axials. It looks really cool though, my GI Joes would love the open cockpit ![]() |
