The Axial RC Drivers have unleashed the mighty Axial AX8 Helon onto the world, a formidable 2.2 four-wheel drive trail buggy priced at $579.95. This beast features a composite molded cage, a belly skid, and a front shock tower loop with multiple tuning positions. The body panels are adorned with intricate details like gauges, a steering wheel, and unique figures for that personal touch. Not to mention the dazzling LED light setup that adds a touch of flair to this rugged machine.
Underneath the Helon's aggressive exterior lies a suspension system that's as capable as it is eye-catching. With droop setup, IS-10 shocks, and metal pivot balls, this buggy is ready to tackle any terrain you throw at it. The Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tires mounted on Race Line Avenger Wheels ensure maximum grip, while the all-metal drive line with portal axles and selectable drive system promises unmatched performance and durability. And let's not forget about the electronics - a powerful steering servo, boulder 21 turn brushed motor, and waterproof components make this buggy a force to be reckoned with.
But the real magic happens when you put the Axial AX8 Helon to the test. Our intrepid reviewer took this beast to rocky terrain, showcasing its impressive turning radius, traction, and slipper clutch engagement. The Helon navigated the challenging obstacles with ease, proving its worth as a top contender in the world of RC trail buggies. In the end, the Axial AX8 Helon is not just a machine - it's a statement. A statement of power, performance, and pure off-road prowess.
