LIVING LARGE
It is said to build something up better, sometimes you need to put it through its paces and break it down first. In the case of Axial’s SCX6, I had a hard time breaking it down—even after running on some rougher-than-rough trails. In fact, I was unable to manage the feat even when I ran it on a 1:1-scale trail. Instead, I decided just to bypass the breaking-down part and fully lean into building it up.
I had put relentless hours of trail time on my SCX6 JLU Wrangler in its completely stock form. After some major trail runs and bash sessions, the large vehicle hasn’t flinched a bit. I didn’t break anything on it, but it had plenty of trail rash and has waded through its fair share of water crossings, so an overhaul was much needed.
