AX90027 SCX10™ 2012 Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon - Kit

I have the pleasure of being able to call this work as we release the Kit version of our popular and my personal favorite chassis, the Axial SCX10. The particular SCX10 comes with the ever popular Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon body along with Maxxis Trepador tires mounted on Walker Evans Racing Wheels. The vehicle is wrapped in Poison Spyder proptection with the inclusion of the Poison Spyder Rock Brawler Bumpers. This kit also includes the Poison Spyder Rear swing out carrier to mount the spare tire on, just like the full size Jeeps! I did say the Jeep was wrapped, thus the kit also includes the Poison Spyder Crusher Flares to protect to body and to meet the regulatory laws for wheel coverage. This is a very cool package of aftermarket accessories for that scalistic look! We've have also introduced some new ICON Vehicle Dynamics adjustable threaded aluminum shocks. Aside from the 1:1-scale relationship we have with ICON Vehicle Dynamics and brought their look into this package we also delivered on shock performance with the inclusion of precision machined polyoxymethylene pistons for a more precise fluid control. When assembling these shocks, don't forget to grease the caps for a more sealed final assembly.

DAKAR 2013 ROUTE MAP

The 2013 Dakar will be unlike any other! Peru, which hosts the start of the rally for the first time, brings its unique geography to bear: competitors will face the first strings of dunes on the second day of the race. For its 5th edition on the American continent, the rally will resume its traditional north-south journey, which will run alongside the coastline of the Pacific this year. The rapid encounter with the Peruvian and the Atacama Deserts will transform the usual level of difficulty, but the stay in Argentina will immediately call upon all the drivers’ and teams’ resources. To reach Santiago, they will ultimately have to face 3 highly intense stages in the middle of the Atacama Desert. The day before the finish, the outcome will remain undecided.
