Axial AXP8 Gilamon 4X4 RC Trail Buggy Overview

The wait is over. With the AXP8 Gilamon 2.2 RTR, Axial introduces the next level in RC rock crawling performance. It’s the most innovative and maneuverable rig you’ve ever seen.

A true rock crawler, the Gilamon isn’t made for overlanding or easy "Sunday" drives. With its 2.2-inch wheel setup and new AXP8 platform, this RC crawler has no match on the most challenging trails and obstacles. Because it’s ready-to-run, you don’t need experience to succeed. But if you have spent a lot of time on the trails, you’ll be blown away by what you can do now that was impossible before.

What’s so revolutionary about the AXP8? Let’s start with its heavy-duty, high-clearance, front and rear AF16P portal axles - and especially the rear-axle ASD (Axial Selectable Drive), a more advanced and highly capable drivetrain version of cutting brakes. While cutting brakes are only as strong as the brakes themselves, ASD physically and completely locks a wheel. It’s better than cutting brakes. And unlike front dig, which locks the entyre axle, ASD can lock either of the rear wheels individually. That gives you an even tighter turning radius and greatly improved maneuvering capabilities.

The AF16P front axle and advanced new AT6 transmission are also designed to accept optional ASD setups, giving you an unprecedented amount of vehicle control. With ASD assigned to a 3-position switch on your transmitter, you can activate locking or constant 4WD functions. Using a 5-position switch, you’ll be able to configure the ASD system to drive, to free wheel, or to lock (option parts and programable Tx required).

No RC crawler has offered this level of sophistication before. Nothing can stand in your way. The AT6 transmission is also equipped with a 30% underdrive to the rear axle that dramatically improves climbing and increases maneuverability.

Further improving the rig’s trail performance are the extreme articulation of its 4-link suspension and the additional clearance of its realistic, new IS10 internal spring shocks. An oversized, high torque Axial Boulder 550 21-turn brushed motor sends power through durable, heavy-duty WB12 driveshafts to officially licensed Raceline Avenger wheels and 5.5-inch tall Mickey Thompson Baja Boss M/T tyres. Surrounding it all is a durable composite cage that offers protection and challenge-ready trail buggy looks.

The included Spektrum DX3 radio and Firma 70A ESC give you the telemetry benefits of exclusive Smart technology. Other high-quality, factory-installed Spektrum on-board electronics include a SR515 5-channel DSMR receiver, S682 metal gear steering servo, and SX117AX metal gear micro servo for the ASD function. Just add your choice of recommended battery and charger - then you’re ready to take on any obstacle that lies ahead.

Get ready to go where no crawler has gone before with the Axial AXP8 Gilamon 2.2 RTR. It’s the king of the hill, the trail, the canyon, the ledge, and everything else off-road!

What makes the Axial C-AXI-1207T2 AXP8 Gilamon 2.2 4X4 RTR trail buggy red so maneuverable?

The Axial C-AXI-1207T2 waterproof RTR brushed RC buggy introduces the revolutionary ASD (Axial Selectable Drive) system, a drivetrain innovation that surpasses traditional cutting brakes. Unlike systems that rely solely on brake strength, ASD physically locks individual rear wheels, allowing for sharper turns and precise obstacle negotiation. This selective locking capability gives the Axial 4WD trail buggy with ASD cutting brakes – C-AXI-1207T2 an edge in tight trail conditions, enabling advanced crawling techniques previously unattainable in RTR platforms.

How does the Axial ready-to-run electric crawler with portal axles handle extreme terrain?

Equipped with AF16P portal axles front and rear, the Axial ready-to-run electric crawler with portal axles achieves superior ground clearance and reduced torque twist. These heavy-duty axles are designed to withstand high loads while maintaining smooth operation across uneven surfaces. The rear axle comes pre-installed with ASD functionality, while the front axle and AT6 transmission are ASD-compatible, offering future upgrade paths. Combined with a 30% underdrive to the rear axle, the drivetrain configuration enhances climbing ability and low-speed control, making the Axial off-road buggy with smart electronics and LED lights ideal for technical rock crawling.

Why choose the Axial brushed RC rock crawler with ASD function for tighter turns?

Precision matters when navigating complex trails, and the Axial brushed RC rock crawler with ASD function for tighter turns delivers exactly that. The ASD system is mapped to a 3-position transmitter switch, allowing users to toggle between locked, freewheel, and constant 4WD modes. For advanced users, a 5-position switch unlocks even more control options. This level of configurability is rare in RTR models and gives the Axial 1:8 trail buggy with Mickey Thompson tyres and LED lighting a competitive advantage in performance and adaptability. Whether you're a seasoned crawler or just starting out, the intuitive controls make mastering complex maneuvers easier than ever.

Axial AXP8 trail buggy with internal spring shocks and Raceline wheels – built for articulation

The suspension system on the Axial AXP8 trail buggy with internal spring shocks and Raceline wheels – C-AXI-1207T2 is designed for maximum articulation. The 4-link solid axle setup works in tandem with IS10 internal spring shocks to deliver realistic movement and high clearance. These shocks are housed in aluminium bodies for durability and filled with oil to ensure consistent damping. The officially licensed Raceline Avenger wheels not only add scale realism but also provide a strong mounting base for the aggressive Mickey Thompson tyres. Together, these components allow the buggy to flex and climb over obstacles with ease, maintaining traction and stability throughout.

Axial off-road buggy with smart electronics and LED lights – what’s inside?

Inside the Axial off-road buggy with smart electronics and LED lights is a suite of Spektrum Smart components that elevate the driving experience.
