Upgrades and Hop-ups for the Axial RR10 Bomber
When I added Axial’s RR10 Bomber Rock Racer to my collection of radio-controlled vehicles, I didn’t expect it to become one of my favorite rigs to wheel. However, after my first full battery run, I was in love with this 1/10-scale off-roading beast.
Although the RR10 Bomber is an exceptional model in stock form, giving it custom flair and personalization is part of what makes this hobby so enjoyable. Below are a variety of options to customize not only the look but also the performance and handling aspects of this popular off-road warrior.
