I was in for some serious upgrades and modifications if I was going to squeeze any kind of real speed out of this crawler. That’s the top speed of an Axial SCX10 II Deadbolt on 3S LiPo straight out of the box without any modifications. Ultimately, the Axial SCX10 II was never meant to go fast because crawlers are built for, well, crawling-as I found out when I checked its baseline speed with my GPS Speed Tracker: 7mph. I was willing to take on the challenge to see how fast I could make the SCX10 II platform go-hence, the name: DragBolt. But what if you don’t want to drive it off-road? What else is this iconic rock crawler capable of? Could it be an on-road speed demon? It is an easy truck to work on, has always been dependable, and is capable on the trails. Its unique looks and simple, straightforward design have been the basis for many of my builds over the years. The Axial Deadbolt has always been a favorite truck of mine.
