Axial SCX24 – Hot Racing Oil Shocks Review

If you’ve been around the Axial SCX24 very much, you know that the shocks that come on them aren’t very good. They really don’t do much at all. The problem has been that even though they aren’t very good, there weren’t really any good upgrades either. There are aluminum shocks that some people use but they just look better. They don’t perform any better than the stock ones.

So, needless to say, when I saw the Hot Racing Oil Shocks, I was anxious to try them out. I got a set and put them on an otherwise stock SCX24. Check out the video below to find out more about them.

Axial SCX24 – Testing out some upgrades…

We finally have some nice weather, so we figured we’d go out and try out some of the upgrades we have made to our vehicles. Our favorite spot is a pretty good drive from our house and we didn’t have time to head out there, so we went over to a local park to see what it had to offer. There wasn’t a bunch there, but we were able to try out some lines on some tree roots which proved to be more challenging than we thought.
