Axial Racing XR10 crawler

Axial Racing have released details on their latest crawler kit, the XR10. This sick looking ‘no-compromise’ competition ready kit features all new front and rear strong durable composite plastic, lightweight axles, all New behind the axle (BTA) steering and over sized 12.5mm universals with 4mm and 2.5mm cross pins. Utilizing a 37.9:1 gear ratio, using the included 14T pinion, the gearbox allows the use of 12-19T pinions for gear ratios ranging from 44.2:1 through 27.9:1. Dual motors allow you to easily adjust your front and rear gear ratios independently while compact and lightweight gearboxes keep the motor positioned closer to the axle housing and above the axle center line for extra clearance.
