Default Upgrade or replace

I might be asking the wrong crowd this question...

I have two options, first is to upgrade my AX10 with a SWX chassis and BTA, or to dump the truck completely for a LCC. I want to be a lot more competitive, but I know my crawler right now is limited, and really has no chance of hanging with the bergs and LCCs, I just don't know if the SWX and BTA will improve the truck enough to be competitive.

Thoughts?


My AX10:
Kit version...

your truck just needs a lil tuning and maybe a swx . i don't think the losi lcc are all that ... i have done well against them even with the moa kit. the bergs are a lil tuff to comp against but it can be done on the club level

X2, at the chassis and the axles. You will get alot less hang-ups, use button heads in the lower part of the chassis to keep it as smooth as possable from all angles....every little bit helps.

Go rc4wd bully axles and use everything you currently run. I was so anti moa till I drove one. I was thinking about going losi from a few locals and reading on the board i decided they are just big money pits. Bully axles you buy them an extra motor, punk dig and your set up really well. Don't need to upgrade the axles, buy new offset wheels, lockouts, or worry about tearing sidewalls.

Go bully

If ya want to be competitive dump the axial for a berg. Ya will have less in a built berg than a built axial or losi and end up with a truly competitive rig.

Berg owners are lazy, stupid, and spoiled.

No matter what you get, if you want to be competitive, you're gonna have to do the work. Tune your truck, get it what it needs, and drive the piss out of it. I see lots of aftermarket parts, but no real work done on your rig.

Or spend lots of $ on something you drive once a month. Just get used to sucking.
