RC Axial SCX10 III Jeep CJ-7 4WD grey 1/10 RTR

Product detailed description

RC Axial SCX10 III Jeep CJ-7 4WD grey 1/10 RTR              Axial AXI03008T2

RC model of Jeep expedition car and SCX10 III chassis for remote control. The model is almost completely ready for operation, as it comes with already installed electronics, drive unit and Spektrum DX3 Smart transmitter. However, it is necessary to purchase a 2-3S LiPo battery and a charger. For example, with the Spektrum Smart battery, you can use the possibilities of the SPEKTRUM SMART technology, which will allow you to monitor the battery status in real time directly on the transmitter.

Officially licensed JEEP CJ-7 body
The CJ-7's officially licensed body is made of durable polycarbonate and features numerous details, including officially licensed Gen-Right bumpers, a fully functional roll cage, and a complete interior, including an opening center console. The doors can be opened or even removed.

Chassis SCX10 III with steel C profiles
The CJ-7 model is built on the proven, realistic platform of the Axial SCX10 III chassis. Durable and rigid chassis with steel C-profiles, increases the resistance against bending of the frame and increases the precision of suspension and steering.

Aluminum Coil Over shock absorbers
The aluminum bodies of the shock absorbers are filled with oil for smooth running and authentic driving characteristics. Spring preload can be easily adjusted using an adjustment nut.

Function Dig
With the advanced Dig function, you can instantly switch to front-wheel drive, with remote-controlled rear axle locking for better cornering and control. Servo Dig is included and installed.

Optimized suspension
The front suspension is optimized to limit the Bump Steer effect, while the rear 4-point suspension reduces roll when throttle is applied. The tie rods have stainless steel links with a diameter of 6 mm and ball studs with steel balls.

All-metal gears
The CJ-7 transmission includes a complete set of ball bearings and metal gear wheels, necessary for the performance you need on the trails.

Installed power system
The installed electronics and drive unit includes a Dynamite 35T 540 series motor and a 2-in-1 control unit with a Smart Spektrum Firma 40A controller and a Spektrum receiver.

Mockup details
The car's cool interior details include a functional center console, removable coffee cup, raspberry can, dual stick shifter, automatic shifter, seats with seat belt holes, folding side mirrors and more!

Transmitter SPEKTRUM DX3 SMART
Together, the Spektrum DX3 Smart transmitter and the 2-in-1 Smart Firma 40A control unit with the Spektrum receiver offer the benefits of Smart technology, such as real-time display of the power status of the Smart LiPol battery used. The third channel of the transmitter has the CJ-7 Dig function.

Run-in of the new electric motor
New model with engine, needs to be run in first. Before starting to use the DC electric motor, it is definitely recommended to run it. Some manufacturers require it as a condition for recognizing a possible engine claim. The purpose of the run-in is to seat the rotating parts well, smooth the friction surfaces of the contacts, and grind the carbons into the correct shape. The current enters the motor on the commutator surfaces using the so-called carbons, which may not have a perfectly adapted shape from production. If the new motor is loaded to the maximum without a previous run-in, the commutator surface or the carbons may be damaged due to large "sparking". The run-in will allow the carbons to settle on the commutator as perfectly as possible. Thus, the carbons will wear out less and last longer.

Electric motor run-in procedure:
-If you have a new RC model car or boat in which the engine is already mounted, proceed as follows. Place the model on the mat so that the wheels rotate above the surface. Let the engine run at the lowest possible speed for at least 20-30 minutes. You can then drive the model for 20-30 minutes at a lower speed and gradually increase the speed. Drive the model at full power only after the run-in phase has passed.

-If you have a new engine that has not yet been installed in the model, you can do the run-in in the traditional, proven way by immersing it in water. Connect the motor to the ESC controller and lower it by the cables vertically down into a container of clean water. Start the engine at low speed and let it run for 10-15 minutes. Then you can gradually increase the speed for a few minutes up to the maximum. finally, take the motor out of the water and let it run for a while to blow the water out of the motor. You can mount a run-in engine in the model and you can immediately drive at full power. You don't have to worry about the engine submerged in water. It will work normally and the water will cool it during the run-in. In addition, it washes out carbon particles during grinding (the water visibly darkens).

Protection against overheating of the electric motor:
Since the stator is made up of permanent magnets, it is good to know that these magnets gradually lose their "power". However, temperature also has a big impact. Each electric motor heats up during operation and can reach a temperature of 60°C (therefore, the motor must never be touched with bare hands after driving!). However, if the engine is not cooled or cooled insufficiently, or if it is driven for a long time at maximum speed, it may overheat and thus weaken the magnets. Even after cooling down, the engine will no longer reach its previous performance. Of course, other parts of the engine can also be damaged by high heat. It is therefore advisable to change the load mode, or to drive with two smaller accumulators with a break for replacement and cooling, rather than with one large-capacity one for a long time at full power.

Electric motor replacement, tuning:
If you decide to replace the electric motor in this model, pay attention to the following recommendations.
The new motor should be of the same type (size), have the same number of turns and the same supply voltage value as the original one. That way, you will be sure that the model will retain its original driving characteristics.
If you are planning a tuning motor, first of all, check whether the original ESC controller in the model will be able to work with the tuning motor, in order not to burn the ESC controller, or to prevent the ESC-motor system from working. When tuning a motor, it is usually necessary to replace a pinion with a different number of teeth.

WARNING! This RC car is not a toy, but a more sophisticated, functional model that behaves very much like a real car. Due to its realistic parameters, if it is not properly assembled and operated, it can cause you injury, or injure the viewer, or damage property. The model is intended for driving in a large room or outside on a dry surface. Driving in water, in snow, in puddles, mud, sand, in tall grass without appropriate waterproof treatment can cause damage to the electronics of the model. Driving on public roads and other places (e.g. parking lots) with car traffic is prohibited. Do not drive in thick grass, you will overheat or burn the engine!
This model requires regular maintenance, by disassembling it correctly according to the service manual, you will not lose the warranty.
