| Used Scorpion or new Deadbolt?
I have an opportunity to get a used scorpion in lieu of a new deadbolt. Seems like the main difference is the chassis? Is newer better?

There's two Deadbolts on the market. The original has the same axles as the SCX10 (and Scorpion). The newer has the same axles as the Wraith. |

When it comes to crawling, I don't recommend ever considering used unless you know the person and know it's in tip top shape. Crawlers get abused and are subjected to many nasty conditions that wreak havoc on bearings, electronics, etc.

Does the Scorpion AX10 have any upgrades? Is it the Kit version or the RTR? and compare the electronics with the New Deadbolt too.

I've never been scared of used trucks and have bought several. The money you save by buying used can be used to upgrade it the way you want it. The RTR electronics are medicore at best and usually get upgraded anyways. Just make sure to test drive it before buying and thoroughly look it over.

Buy the deadbolt. The ax10 in the picture would require multiple upgrades.
