rc4wd Trail Finder or Axial scx-10 chassis?

[BigSki]

I recently sold my K2-5 Yota scaler, so I'm trying to decide what to build next. I always wanted a Tamiya Bruiser when I was a kid, but my news paper route didn't pay me well enough to afford one! The K2-5 rig was just to whet my appetite, now I want something nice. I like the scaleness of the TF, but it seems like the leafs don't flex as well as a 3 link with coil overs.

I'm not asking to start a flaming contest, I'm just looking for real opinions about the 2 different rig, preferably from people that actually own one of the rigs. Tell me the pros and cons of each rig. I plan on using another Yota body, I just like them. I don't care how many of them are out on the trails.

my opinion is .. Trailfinder kit.

cause its more scale and ... all aluminum no plastic parts only the body that you will put

i would get a Trailfinder with Scale yota axles .. with wheels and tires of your choice ... and if you need articulation .. just buy 3link or 4link not the complete package .. just one .. so you can put it in rear

well thats my opinion .. many ppl have the SCX10 and i know it crawls much better .. so it all dpends on taste .

i prefer all aluminum ... and not all plastic :?

When I ran my Trail Finder on 1.9's I used stock hi-lift leafs and TLT shocks. They seemed to do the job. But when I stuck on a set of 2.2's the leafs I was running didnt cut it. So I stuck on a set of Rc4wd super soft leafs (Reds) and now if flexes even better. Of course it doesnt flex like a three link but still pretty darn good for a leaf spring set up.
(Dont have a pic of it flexing but I thought I'd share anyways)


I Really like the SCX10 chassis and think its more scale
