Axial SCX24 2019 Jeep Wrangler JLUC CRC RTR truck

Coming from Axial is their new SCX24 2019 Jeep Wrangler JLU CRC 4WD micro RTR truck that can be taken both indoors and outdoors. It allows to go crawling on the desk when stuck at work and a messy room becomes an ideal obstacle course. The vehicle can also be taken outside — where its water-resistant electronics are safe from the elements. Full-time 4WD and a 3-link front/4-link rear suspension let the driver muscle over big challenges. Worm gears on the axles increase ground clearance, while realistic steel frame rails stand up to hard knocks. The truck offers exceptional performance with looks to match. The realistic body rides on licensed KMC Machete wheels and Nitto Trail Grappler tyres. For quick battery access makes a tilt back body. Two LEDs in the front bumper light up the trail for night-time crawling. The truck comes ready-to-run with radio and electronics included and installed and it is available in two body shell colours.
