Yep, you heard that right! Watch the “>video above and you will witness the AXIAL Racing SCX10 completing the incredible trek across the infamously treacherous Rubicon 4×4 trail from one side of California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range to other. Starting at Loon Lake, the Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon crawled, climbed and clawed its way along the Rubicon Trail until it reached its final destination, three days later, at the Homewood staging area.

By traveling the approximately 15 miles through some of the Rubicon Trail’s harshest spots like Gatekeeper, Walker Hill, Lil’ Sluice, Soup Bowl and Cadillac Hill, the SCX10 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon earned the coveted Jeep brand Trail Rated badge. Like its full-scale counterparts, the SCX10 had to earn this badge. What better way to do it than on the same off-road trail Jeep uses as a proving ground for its vehicles.

This is no toy. Its guts are made up of hardcore technology, just like the real thing. Take the frame for example. The realistic high-strength c-channel chassis-frame is made of durable steel with cross-bracing for reinforcement. Realistic shock hoops with multiple shock-mounting positions allow suspension adjustment.

The axles are no different. Everything from the axle strength, pinion angle, caster, and ground clearance are taken into consideration, and the result is an axle that the manufacturer claims will stand up to some severe punishment. A high-tolerance sintered diff locker is included along with hardened axle shafts.

The suspension is a 4-link design in the rear, and is designed to reduce axle steer and torque twist. The company states that is also helps with steep off-camber climbs by having the proper amount of anti-squat and roll characteristic. The 4-link system is said to also resist suspension wrap-up in high power applications.
