American brand Axial has unveiled the new rock crawler SCX10 III Jeep CJ-7 V2, featuring updated electronics and a stunning new Laredo tribute color scheme. After World War II, the rugged Willys-Overland military Jeep emerged as a popular commercial vehicle, designated 'CJ' for 'Civilian Jeep.' The CJ-7 model, introduced in 1976, became a favorite among rock crawlers and remained in production until it was replaced by the Jeep Wrangler in 1987.
More than any other 4×4 vehicle, this legendary Jeep symbolizes off-road adventure and is now ready for 1/10 scale escapades with official licensing and all the performance of the renowned Axial SCX10 III chassis.
Building on the success of the original, the V2 enhances everything fans loved about the SCX10 III Jeep CJ-7. Designers have upgraded the electronics for improved performance and easier customization. The T2 variant pays homage to the iconic LAREDO trim level with a Copper Brown body color, chrome grille, and period-correct badges and graphics that capture the spirit of the late '70s and early '80s. It’s a tribute to one of the most beloved Jeep configurations ever produced.
The SCX10 III Jeep CJ-7 confidently tackles any trail, but its incredible scale detail has Axial fans eager to transform it into their next rock-crawling masterpiece. In addition to the officially licensed Jeep CJ-7 body, this platform features Gen-Right licensed bumpers and armor, a full interior with an opening center console, a roll cage, and more. Even the wheels and tires add to its authenticity. The wheels are officially licensed Raceline Daytona beadlocks, and the high-traction tires are officially licensed Mickey Thompson Baja Boss treads.
The new Axial SCX10 III Jeep CJ-7 V2 comes factory-assembled and ready to run with a brushed power system and a Spektrum SLT3 transmitter. This new model is equipped with updated electronics, including a separate ESC and receiver for easier upgrades, a more robust steel gear servo with standard 25T spline, and a dual-protocol receiver compatible with advanced Spektrum controllers.
