I want a nice scale lookin crawler! Axial SCX10 TR??? good? or no???

[yellowpasta2000]

Im looking 4 a nice scale rock crawler! the Axial SCX10 TR looks extreamly appealing to me. would it be a good choice 2 go with it??

Also i want to put a faster Brushless set up in it. i dont mean a BL set up 2 go 60 mph but 1 that does about 25-30mph. would it b able 2 handle a motor like that?

Thank you!

honestly running 25-30 on a link type suspension is not really ideal.

you might want to check out the build threads in the scx10 section

You COULD make an SCX10 fast, but its called crawling lol, they are made to crawl over rediculous terrain, not go fast. I say try it and report back, would be an interesting build!!! I love my TR and it has been nothing but reliable and tough so I wouldnt hesitate getting another!

the tr is a badass setup, the top could be more realistic though, thats why i am going with the tamiya ford top

No not a trophy truck I want the same truck but just not stuck in 4w low lol I want it 2 have some decent speed n when I plan on doin slow crawling I'll jus change the pinion!

well i have the kit scx10 it has been reliable, tough, fun.
lots of the guys here have been getting the tr version and they have been just as tough , so as far as the truck, its great, i wouldnt hesitate to buy one now that have seen what they can do..

ive seen some videos of guys putting 2 speed trannys in them so they can crawl and go fast,, but like mentioned before,, they werent made for that..

2speed tranny would b just what im lookin 4! i wana go fast just on flat dirt... how does the 2 speed work? is it selectable gears or does it shift like a normal rc 2speed?

A low turn brushed motor works really good for crawling and going fast.
I have a 12 turn from a slash in mine and it crawls very well and can pull about 18-21 mph.

but i have a brushless motor n esc (waterproof) just begging 2 b installed in something lol n i was searching 4 a new rc 2 buy n have made my decision i want this scx10 tr!

If you're going to be replacing the motor and esc right away, I would suggest getting the kit version. If money's tight, just pick up a cheapo AM tx/rx and steering servo. Just my .02, good luck

i already have the radio and i already have servos laying around.... but does the TR come in a kit version???????

are then any benefits other then price 2 go w/ the kit? cuz i still want the TR body n light system... does the kit have better parts or better shocks or anything?

The kit comes with aluminum suspension links and aluminum steering links

Plus the satisfaction of building your own truck and knowing it's done right.

You can get lighting systems on ebay for dirt cheap. Plus most run on there own 9V batteries so they don't draw anything from your running system. I run 9 LED's up front and 2 reds in the rear, using 2 9V's. You can check out my build thread (click my signature) for pictures of everything.

I wouldn't count on it if you're planning on doing 25 mph. You're too young to be lazy.

If you go with the kit you should know you won't get that body, you won't get the side rockers, or the front and rear bumpers that are on the tr, also no lighting system. But as mentioned above all your links will be AL and you get to put it together yourself.

I think you may be suprised by the TR's speed. If you've been working with nothing but crawlers before it you'll be suprised when you pull full throttle on the TR. I know I was, it can definatley dip through the trails as is.
