Introduction

The iconic paint scheme of the classic Grave Digger® 1950s-style panel van — a ghoulish blend of black, purple and green — has thrilled fans of the full-scale Monster Jam® legend for many years. Axial® Racing obtained the license from Feld Motorsports to offer the Grave Digger® for the first time as a true-to-scale, 4-wheel drive, straight-axle RC monster truck. The RC Grave Digger® rides on the Axial® SMT10™ tube frame chassis, which was developed for maximum bashing strength and an extremely detailed appearance. High-quality electronics also contribute to the Grave Digger® model’s never-say-die performance. Available ready-to-run, the vehicle comes with a 2.4GHz Spektrum™ radio system and powerful Dynamite® motor and ESC. Together with incomparable Axial® engineering, they make the 1/10 scale SMT10™ Grave Digger® the perfect bashing monster truck for everyone from scale RC enthusiasts to full-size monster truck fans. On grass, gravel, pavement and asphalt tracks, it’s ready to make your competition scream!

Overview

Monster Jam® is the world’s largest and most famous monster truck tour, where world-class drivers compete in racing and freestyle events before capacity crowds. One of its most celebrated attractions is Grave Digger®, which thrills monster truck fans with jaw-dropping, gravity-defying feats. For its part, Axial® Racing has become synonymous with RC crawler vehicles that inspire endless adventure and creative freedom. Put them together and you have a true-to-scale, 4-wheel drive, straight-axle Monster Jam® RC truck that’s the perfect basher for everyone from scale RC enthusiasts to full-size monster truck fans — the Axial® SMT10™ Grave Digger® 1/10 4WD Monster Jam® Truck RTR.

Licensed from Feld Motor Sports, Inc., the genuine Grave Digger® ‘50s-era panel van body is as ghoulishly real as it gets, from the trademark graveyard paint scheme and chrome Zoomie headers to the driver figure with glow-in-the-dark helmet. BKT Monster Jam® style tires with foam inserts add more scale realism along with impressive grip and handling on a wide range of terrain.

Everything going on beneath the scale body is just as exciting. Axial® designers went all out when creating the chassis and roll cage for the SMT10™ Grave Digger® monster truck. Very similar to those of full-size Monster Jam® trucks, the SMT10™ tube frame chassis was developed for maximum strength and has an extremely realistic appearance. There are a variety of shock mounting points for suspension tuning options, with additional mounting points on the cage and at the axle for moving the shocks to a more scale, vertical position if desired. Mated to the proven Axial® AR60™ axle, the 4-link suspension soaks up any obstacles in its path.

The Axial® SMT10™ Grave Digger® 1/10 4WD Monster Jam® Truck comes factory-built and ready-to-run with updated, improved electronics and radio gear. The Dynamite® 550-size motor provides higher torque and top speed for pulling off radical monster truck moves. It’s matched with a LiPo- and NiMH-compatible Dynamite® 60A ESC that features forward/brake/reverse, forward/brake and crawler drive modes.

The included FHSS 2.4GHz radio gear is all high-quality Spektrum™ brand equipment. The STX2® 2-channel transmitter and SRX200 receiver provide fast response and outstanding range. Enjoy precise, interference-free control while striking terror in your bashing competition!
