SCX10 vs. X-Trail chassis
 

Well i looked up the scx10 bc people said it was goo well i want to hear from u guys !!!! x-trail is cheaper yes i know"thumbsup"

i dont want to do want to copie this guy http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/1-9-scale-rigs/188237-chassis-scx10-xtrail.html

Well besides price, the scx10 is more scale looking because of the c channel frame but it is also very capable.
However, every one's scx10 pretty much looks the same.

I think you could get more performance out of the x trail


they each have there pro's and con's

Granted there are a large number of "Box Stock" SCX10's out there but look around before you say "They all pretty much look the same"

Here's a few samples of "different" SCX rigs

Sorry I don't have action shots for each, they are all in their owners garages now.

I dont want to start an arguement but with the xtrail its almost impossible for someone to copy another person's work.

So you can make an xtrail more unique.

thanks:mrgreen: r urs in there?

Not yet, I'm actually building an X trail. Kinda funny huh? And my "Shop Truck" is an old mountaineer.

I think they both have good qualities. Nothing wrong with either. I picked up the Xtrail because it was such a great deal. I'll build a rig for my 5 year old to run.

oh what body u planning on using?

not all the same
 

This has a leafed scx10 frame under it. Maybe thats what your lookin for

If you're looking to go scale, then go scale. Get the scale chassis. How many 1:1 trucks use flat stock for their frame?.... Hopefuly none:shock: But, if your looking for something kinda semi-scale, then go for the x-trail. Its kinda like when hardcore crawler guys put an hpi truck body on a moa rig and think they have a scaler. Get serious.... Trucks use c-channel or box frames. Not flat stock.

ok still i want a scale crawler but both r good

how did u mount it?

i bulit both the x-trail "thumbsup"

what body do u have?

I've never understood how an x-trail, Reign RC or similar chassis fits within the 'scale rules', but an AX-10 or similar chassis doesn't. While the x-trial is a great performer, look at it from a design stand point- short, verticle side plates and a few cross members. Sounds like a TVP chassis to me.

I know it's been argued before, I'm not trying to start it all over again and get 'demerrit points' against me, I just wish we could all figure out how to have fun together with all of our rigs.

I use a Tamiya F-350 body with a droop bed. (Work in Progress)
