The Advanced AX10- Axial’s new Ridgecrest

Spotted at the Toy Fair is Axial’s new Ridgecrest that carries the Ax10 chassis designation. At first the RTC machine looked cool with its grippy Ripsaw tires on Renegade wheels and its tube style bumpers bolted to the low mounted body, but once we popped the lid we realized this wasn’t and ordinary AX10 we were checking out. The AX platform appears to have undergone a major overhaul with bulky steering linkage up front. Plastic tube style frame, enclosed radio box with ESC mount for Axial’s AE-2 speedo, threaded shocks and a lot more. The rig is equipped with a 2.4GHz radio and the battery sits in a cradle towards the rear. The overhaul is very impressive!

RC Driver Magazine Editor-in-Chief: My radio control hobby started in 1985 with a Tamiya Falcon. The first time I drove the buggy I finished 3rd in the A-Main out of forty-eight drivers; needless to say I was hooked. From then on I competed in a lot of races in many different segments. At sixteen I started my first job at a Hobbytown USA and at seventeen started as a contributing writer for an RC publication. A few years later, I started full-time as a magazine editor while attending college for graphic design. Little did I know down the road I'd be offered a chance to start up a new RC magazine. I jumped at the opportunity and with a talented group of professionals launched RC Driver Magazine. Throughout the years I never lost my passion for RC and spreading the word about this wonderful hobby. I hope you enjoy our magazine and website!
