Both will be receiving Pro4 Motors, RX8s and Protek 2S packs for the powerplants.
The build starts in T-minus 3 hours.......

Ok so it took me just over 5 1/2 hours to get the EXO to roller status. What a fun build! Went very smoothly, everything fit nice and the quality is A++ Axial style.
First up, build the front end:
Then the rear end:
Fluid filled diffs that went together quick and painless and they supplied 10000CST fluid. Good O-rings so these puppies won't leak!
Center diff with supplied 20000CST fluid and 52T plastic spur:
Starting in on the chassis. The center backbone is a thick 4mm plate, WOW! I also like how the side mudguards mount from the top side, screws thread into the 4mm chassis plate. Loctite!
Front, Center and Rear sections on the chassis:
Nothing like a mondo can of Rockstar Recovery to keep you going ;)
Front bumper assembly and aluminum skid plate; kudos for realism, love it:
Servo mount, RX box, ESC mount plate, trick ass battery strap system in place:
Cage assembled and resting (sorta) in place:
Griffin Radiator = sick! Check out the realistic fans! I can see this going places for those that can't leave them alone ;)
Check it out, no one is stealing this buggy:
Shocks assembled, 30wt all around. They feel really smooth, just like all the Axial shocks:
There she is, roller status. Wing, light bars (front and back) in place just begging for LEDs. Hankook tires, I am impressed by the whole thing. This buggy has so much potential I can't even see straight! Maybe it's the Rockstar...Either way, job well done Axial, looking forward to tossing in some electronics and running this amazing buggy!
