This is really helpful.. I am currently trying to get into the crawling thing. There are a lot of Hawaii crawlers and I gotta take part in this bad boy... I have a HPI WK right now and was reading on how to modify the WK to crawl..but the AXIAL looks like something right up my alley... AAWWRIGHTTTT!!  |

I saw a vid on youtube the other day and it was the HPI vs the AX-10 and the AX-10 went thru it like a hot knife thru butter and the WK got bounced and pushed around. I'll see if I can find it.

Both trucks may have cleard that rock pile, but keep in mind that the scorpion can do it right out of the box. The Wk will not. The WK underwent surgery to do what the axial did. | |

I own the PTI also. It will take more mods than the WK to be a formadible competitor.(hence the vouch for the AX10) Quote:

Hey guys new to the forum. I want to buy a crawler kit but do not know anything about crawlers. This will be my first venture into dirt. Is the Scorpion a good first purchase?

If if you were going to build a crawler from the ground up you would start with AX-10 axles over the WK? I only ask because I have NO parts or anything at this time and I don't believe the place I would be crawling at has any Hobby Shop so I would be on my own for parts either way. Thanks, Chris Oh, I should say I can fab just about anything I need...  |

I should mention that I will be using a GT2 (or similar) tranny. Not sure if that will influence your answer or not. Thanks, Chris |

hi my first ever build was a PTI Goliath with Extension kit, and ist was kind of frustrating, because if you lack experience, it is hard to make the car drive in a satisfying way. The Goliath definately is for the expert to build and to setup. It has tight tolreances on many aspects (torque-twist, link-length, shock-location, ...). the ax10 on the other side is a whole lot easier to set up. There is not half of the pain in the finger-tips to build (call me a sissy, if you want). so it depends on what you are looking for |

I dont agree at all .. A year ago when i decided to get into crawling I made the choice to get a PTI Goliath .. After it arrived and i put it together i was soo eager to get it rolling i stayed up all night .. When i finnished it would hardly crawl .. I though maybe i did somethign wrong so i called PTI .. I got ahold of Paul .. he claimed he was one of the founders of PTI ( which by his admittance is a small company ) .. He said our kit will NOT DO WELL OUT OF THE BOX .. What you need is the extention kit .. So i said well along with some other things i wanted to keep on hand send it my way .. I paid him with paypal while on the phone and he said my order would be shipped the next day FOR SURE .. 2 weeks later i made another call and loe and behold got ahold of Paul once again .. Needless to say my parts went out that day 2 weeks late .. When i got them and installed them the truck did NO BETTER what so ever .. So i called again . Paul then claimed that the truck actually needed a gear reduction unit for the mere price of 80 bucks .. SO i spend 179 on the kit, 50 for the extention and now he wants me to spend another 80 for a reduction unit .. PTI made a rock crawler that out of the box has no more ability of cralwing on rocks than Steven Hawkings does ... I did wait a few months and bought the axial .. it ripped right out of the box and for a total of 47 bucks less .. IMO if you want a decent out of the box crawler you cant get much better than AXIAL .. This is just my 2cents .. I know i am not wrong ..
