The All New Axial AX10 Scorpion RTR

Axial is well known to the RC community for their great products and now they have come out with the new RTR version of the AX10 Scorpion.  The RTR version has a few different features then the kit version like a factory painted body and flexible steering links in the front to help from breakage. The front differential is not locked like the Kit version, instead it comes with a differential for better handling. However, the front axle can be locked by installing axial's locker (which is sold separately). Another key feature on the AX10 RTR is a double pump control for reverse. This means, in order to put the truck into reverse you need to stop the truck fully and hit the trigger again to put the truck into reverse which helps from accidental engagment into reverse. Here are some of the new features:
