Axial SCX10 II 2000 Jeep Cherokee 4WD kit

Axial have introduced their new SCX10 II 1/10th scale 4WD off-road vehicle. Originally introduced back in 2008 the popular kit now received a make over, keeping the essence of the SCX10 with all-metal twin C-channel frame rails, but that’s only two percent of the 98 percent of a completely new design. The “II” offers scale AR44 high pinion axles, a chassis mounted servo, re-designed transmission, front mounted battery tray, all-aluminium suspension links, and a properly designed suspension for nearly zero bump steer. All this is topped off by a 2000 Jeep Cherokee bodyshell with moulded scale detail parts.

We bring you more information on the subject as soon as they become available.
