Today on the Scale Builder's Guild, we delve into the world of the all-new Axial Hamon, a beastly trail buggy that defies convention. This machine, named after a slow yet poisonous lizard from the southwest, is a far cry from the typical off-roaders we're used to. With its 1/8 scale plastic cage design and portal-based axle, the Hamon exudes an air of ruggedness and purpose-built capability. It's a departure from the norm, signaling Axial's commitment to innovation and pushing boundaries in the RC world.
As we dissect this trail buggy, we uncover a plethora of intriguing features that set it apart from the crowd. From the hefty 21-turn 550 brushed motor to the Axial S682 steering servo, every component seems meticulously chosen to deliver top-notch performance. The interior, complete with plastic molded heads and a steering wheel, adds a touch of realism to the rugged exterior. And let's not forget the lexan panels with two striking livery options, giving the Hamon a distinct visual appeal that matches its off-road prowess.
But what truly sets the Axial Hamon apart is its innovative Axial Selectable Drive (ASD) system, a cutting-edge technology that allows for precise control during tight maneuvers. With the ability to lock individual wheels for enhanced positioning, this feature opens up a world of possibilities for off-road enthusiasts. And let's not overlook the LED rock lights, spacious battery compartment, and metal links with robust rod ends that further elevate the Hamon's status as a well-equipped and formidable off-road machine. Despite minor quibbles with tolerances, the Axial Hamon stands out as a trailblazer in the world of RC vehicles, blending cutting-edge technology with rugged design for an unparalleled off-road experience.
