Axial's 1/30 SCX30 Toyota Tacoma launches today at $99.99 in the US

Axial lists 23 September as the release date for its SCX30 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro 4X4 RTR crawler. The $99.99 package includes the truck, Spektrum SLT2 2.4 GHz transmitter, 2S 160 mAh LiPo, USB charger and transmitter batteries. The chassis uses a brushed 88T 030-size motor and a combined ESC/receiver.

The 1/30 platform pushes hobby-grade crawling into a genuinely small format while retaining replaceable parts and a growing accessory ecosystem.

This is an RTR rather than a performance kit. Builders interested in tuning should pay attention to tire, body-clearance and weight-distribution options before replacing electronics that may not be the first limitation.
