Description

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, 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. 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 tires. 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! Ready-to-run - just add your battery and charger In The Box Needed to Complete Axial AXP8 Gilamon 4X4 RC Trail Buggy Features Heavy-duty, high clearance AF16P portal axles are among the design innovations that increase maneuverability for success on challenging trails. The rear axle comes with ASD (Axial Selectable Drive) function installed, and the front axle is ASD compatible. The Gilamon has a durable, realistically detailed composite cage with Lexan body panels for protection and challenge-ready trail buggy looks. The rig comes factory-finished and is available in your choice of two color options. The classic 8-spoke design of these officially licensed Raceline Avenger 2.2 wheels adds to the Gilamon rig’s authentic scale trail buggy looks. Expand your strategies for overcoming obstacles with the Gilamon trail buggy’s 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, The front axle and transmission also accept optional ASD setups. Axial puts the emphasis on durability and versatility with its all-new AT6 transmission. The transmission includes a 30% underdrive to the rear axle that dramatically improves climbing and increases maneuverability. It’s also designed to accept optional ASD (Axial Selectable Drive) setups for an unprecedented level of vehicle control. The high-quality, waterproof Spektrum on-board electronics are ideal for crawling in any conditions. The Spektrum S682 metal gear steering servo has the industry standard 25-tooth spline count and an aluminum servo horn for strength. A Spektrum SX108 metal gear micro servo is included for the ASD (Axial Selectable Drive) system. A big rig like the Gilamon needs a big motor. The oversized, factory-installed Axial Boulder 550 is longer than a typical 540 motor, providing more torque and greater durability. The 21-turn design offers the perfect blend of power and wheel speed. The included Spektrum DX3 Smart transmitter, SR515 5 channel receiver, and Firma 70A Smart ESC are ready to deliver the telemetry advantages of Smart technology. Install a Spektrum Smart LiPo battery and you’ll be able to follow vehicle battery capacity on the transmitter's voltage level indicator. The Gilamon features all-new, aluminum body, internal spring IS10 shocks that increase ground clearance and scale realism. Its smooth, high-flex 4-link suspension geometry reduces the effects of torque twist and provides consistent articulation without the bump steer found in 3-link designs. For nighttime crawling, preinstalled LED rock lights illuminate each wheel. Housed in rugged cases, the bright LEDs are clamped to the cage, which allows the lights to be moved. Multiple colors add clarity for crawling and style. The Gilamon rides on 5.5 inch tall, officially licensed Mickey Thompson Baja Boss M/T 2.2 tires. They look authentic and supply the aggressive traction needed to climb over and conquer any obstacle.

  • Best RC car I've ever owned (50+ cars and I'm 53 yrs old)
Color: Green
Best RC car I've ever owned. I have a ton of upgrades on it now and it's a real monster. It's very capable out of the box, but a set of tires really makes a huge difference for a small investment. Would definitely recommend and but again

  • Fantastic crawler
Color: Green
The Axial Gilamon absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I opened the box, the quality and attention to detail were obvious. Everything feels incredibly well-built, durable, and thoughtfully designed, which is exactly what you hope for from Axial. Performance-wise, the Gilamon is outstanding. It handles rough terrain with confidence, has excellent stability, and delivers a smooth, controlled experience that makes it fun whether you’re casually driving or really pushing it hard. The suspension setup and overall handling feel refined right out of the box. Another thing I really appreciated was how easy it was to get everything set up and running. The fit and finish are top-notch, and you can tell this wasn’t made with shortcuts or cheap materials. Even after extended use, it continues to perform flawlessly. If you’re considering the Axial Gilamon, I highly recommend it. It combines premium quality, impressive performance, and great reliability into one fantastic package. Easily one of the best purchases I’ve made in this category. ... show more

  • Axial Gilamon is the real deal..!
Color: Green
Excellent Trail Buggy/Rock Crawler (It doubles as both). This vehicle is "Huge" & very capable. I like the "Rock Lights" & the "ASD" feature as well. The DX3 radio is pretty sweet as well as when using a Smart Specktrum battery you get via telemetry and indication on how much power you have left. I recommend the Gilamon to any Rock Crawler or Axial enthusiast. ... show more

  • the BEST crawler I've ever driven the BEST crawler I've ever driven
Color: Red
I've been an RC addict for 30 years. I've owned more cars and trucks than I care to admit. The Axial Gilamon is quickly becoming my favorite of all time. The driving experience is just perfect. 6th scale is just way too big and heavy. 1/10 scale is a little toy like. The 8th scale Gilamon is so capable and stable. It immediately impressed me with it's natural drivability and performance. The stock tires were fine, but a good set of tires will really send this thing to the next level. My son also really likes the Gilamon. It has reignited his enthusiasm for the hobby. The is seriously the best value RTR crawler available for any age or skill level. the Gilamon has become the most popular truck in my local group. ... show more

  • Larger than a 1/10 scale.
Color: Red
They advertise as a crawler. It is more of a trail vehicle. The battery compartment under the hood is awesome. The front wheels moving 30% faster than the rear does help when you you do crawl with it. The locking rear brakes help turning in tight spaces. I really liked the size and the vehicle.
