JEM BUiLDS! Her First SCX10 II 2000 Jeep Cherokee 1/10th Scale 4WD – Kit - PART 1 | RC ADVENTURES

The Radio Control hobby is growing at a rapid rate, and partners, couples, and singles - both men and women are delving into the world of these tiny trial trucks for some full sized fun. For the FiRST time ever seen on RC ADVENTURES, JEM builds her Brand NEW Trail Truck for all the viewers to see! For her first build, she has selected a Radio Control "trail truck kit" named the Axial SCX10 ii (2). This is her second trail truck - and some of you may know her iconic "PiNKY" Axial SCX10 Honcho. It came as an RTR (Ready to Run) version - and Jem has run that truck for about 7 years. Of course, over time - we have upgraded her truck - but, my wife wanted to try her hand at the building process!
Giving a true, real-life experience - from Unboxing a new Kit, to Building her first set of axles, Jem narrates throughout the film about her thought process while assembling this model. Full of laughs, learning, and some struggles - Jem demonstrates that a passionate RC hobbyist can tackle the most daunting jobs. Her advice: "Just start building, how hard can it be?" Words of wisdom :)
The truck kit she is building:
