The only thing the Axial Base Camp drove away with was some body damage. For example, adjust the shocks to be softer and you will see the instant transformation.īroken parts: Our Axial Base Camp had its fair share of roll overs along with a few lawn dart moments. Now these issues are all easily fixed with just a few adjustments to the rig itself. It doesn’t sound like much, but that all adds up to weight we have become used to having. By bare bones I mean, you have no inner fenders, forward facing motor and a basic body. The light rig has a tough time on step inclines and sidehills due to the bare bones of the rig. The only down side we have seen while testing the Base Camp was its weight. Along with being able to switch out the internal gears for standard axles the LCXU transmission has a lower center of gravity to help keep the Base Camp stable. The new LCXU single speed transmission is smooth and has a nice low-end throttle control for those critical times. With the body off the Axial Base Camp resembles the older SCX10 II with the transmission in the center of the chassis, but that’s where the similarity’s stop. Equipped with AR45 Portal axles, the Base Camp makes it’s way over just about any terrain with the higher ground clearance you get with Portal axles. The tires have an aggressive tread and with a slightly narrower width than past Falken wildpeaks on Axial rigs. Starting with the tires, the Base Camp comes with 1.9 Falken Wildpeak M/Ts. The Base camp is a very light rig compared to the others in the Axial family and that helps the servo do its job better and last longer, but being lighter can cause the rig to tip easier at times.Ĭrawling: For as basic as the Base Camp is, the rig can get down with the best of them. And yes it is really waterproof, we tested that right away and had a blast doing so. The Axial Base Camp comes stock with a Spektrum S614 metal gear 15kg high torque waterproof servo. Turning: The turning radius is impressive on the Base Camp. Having an extra channel will let you install lights or a servo winch right away without having to upgrade as fast. Radio: The Spektrum SLT3 3 channel 2.4GHz that comes with the Base Camp is more than capable for the basic rig. This will help you avoid tire rub with the Base Camps stock body. Set up notes: Before you hit the trails pull the front bumper out to the post hole just before the last one. Primary Competition: The Traxxas TRX4 Sport is the first rig that comes to mind. All nuts and screws were properly placed and secured. Part Numbers: AXI03027T1 (blue), AXI03027T2 (green), AXI03027T3 (gray)īuild Quality: The Axial Base Camp came out of the box in tip top shape.
