Axial is where RC adventures begin! With an Axial radio control rig, you’re sure to have the most exciting and enjoyable off-road RC adventures possible — whether you’re exploring trails while hiking with friends and family or joining other RC rock crawling fans for a club outing or radio control crawling event.
The first RC rock crawling vehicles appeared in the early 1980s but only looked the part. It took Axial®, founded in 2005 and based in California, to incorporate full-scale off-road design elements into the RC rigs that now represent the best in the radio control crawler category. Axial products have earned fans of all ages who enjoy the realism, camaraderie, and adventure that are unique to this fast-growing segment of the RC car and truck hobby.
The initial Axial product lineup consisted of a nitro RC engine and miscellaneous RC accessories. Seeking their own niche, however, the Axial founders — avid off-road enthusiasts who loved camping and the outdoors — soon realized that RC crawling fit like a glove.
The Axial AX10™ Scorpion, released in 2007, propelled radio control crawling into the mainstream. Anyone could build and drive it. Even hardcore full-scale off-road enthusiasts admired the realistic looks, articulated suspension, and big tires. The AX10 quickly became the most influential RC rock crawler in the industry!
Many more successful Axial platforms have followed the AX10. With more emphasis on scale, the SCX10™ became the perfect foundation for another RC crawler hobbyist passion — creating the most detailed and realistic looking rigs. Axial also signed a major licensing agreement with Jeep®, the first of many such connections forged between Axial and the most popular full-scale automobile brands.
Axial is now the biggest name in RC Rock Crawling.
