Here's another quick look at the upcoming Gen8 Axe Edition.  I'll keep you posted with more specs, details and pricing once it becomes available

I was about to write a blog post covering some of the latest information on the upcoming Gen8 AXE when I discovered this video by exocagedrc.  It spills the beans on pretty much everything we know to this point on the new truck.  Including the fact that it will be coming with a bunch of upgraded drivetrain components, a genuine Hobbywing AXE 2300 brushless ESC / Motor combo, Reef's RC 422HD servo, and Flysky GT5 transmitter!

Pricing and specs have not been officially released by Redcat yet so we may see some changes but, from the teaser pictures and leaked info I've been able to find, I think he has covered it well.

Stay tuned for more info!
