I Agree!

I know im taking too long, but im very new in the Axial stuff...

And there is a lot of SCX-10 kit on the market...

But im looking to buy or the Power Wagon, or the Honcho...both has the longest wheelbase, that is good for the replica of my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4door.

I now im gonna have to change the body, so i dont care what body it cames on the kit.
Im gonna change the axle as well, so...

Im depending on this, to buy it.
Really sorry to bother u guys...im really gonna build it, but i needed this time to understand, get to know the parts, and all the stuff....
I have so many questions yet.... But i think i can already have the kit, and start building it up!!!

ready to buy the SCX-10, knowing that i will change the eletronics and body, im looking to the Dingo kit.

Where is the best place t buy it?

It's mostly up to you. With 3S you can run smaller packs and get good run time. Like my 2S 4400mAh will run about 2 hours in a G6 type event, with a 3S you can get the same run time with say a 3000-3200mAh. 3S is nice if you're running the Vanquish Rigid Industries lights, you can just tap off your battery with a switch. I have a separate 3S in my rigs just for my lights since I run 2S. Either one will work fine when paired with the right motor!

Yes i would like to have the Rigid by vaquish. And also headlights with angel eyes, backup lights, rock lights, winch...

All of those, can work normally with 3S?

I run GT Power LED kits. They are inexpensive and provide plenty of LEDs for my rigs and they are run off the 6V BEC from the ESC, battery doesn't matter for them. It's only the Vanquish lights that need the 3S power source.

awesome!!
knowing that is not expensive, make me glad! haha
with the "GT Power LED kits" can i control separate leds? headlights, rocklights...
or everything lights on toghether?

My Rubicon is arriving this FRIDAY!!!

Im also buting the stuff that im looking fot to build the replica!!

But know, to enjoy the weekend, looking to buy the Radio and battery kit... (do i need anything else, to make it run?)


4 channel radio?

2 for the jeep
1 headlights and rear lights
1 front led bar
= 4 total


Any radio in particular?

i think i will have a different led bar, but similar to the Vanquish rigid... less expensive, and very look alike, and i could use everything in 7.4V
So i thinking in havin a 2S Jeep....
Any pro or Cons?


Looking to have a good time playing/running my jeep. Good performance (rotor/speed/torque)
What do u think?

2S is fine but 3S is more efficient. I run 2S on my rigs only because I have a bunch of 2s batteries. I do have a small 3S pack I use to power my light bar

The 3s will give me more time running???

[kookie31]

Technically, yes. If you have two EXACT vehicles, driving the EXACT same line, EXACTLY the same then, yes, 3S will give you longer run times. I've found the 3S tends to give people a heavy trigger finger and they drive faster than they would on 2S giving them only a slightly longer run time

Great then!

Problem solved!

3S it is...haha

About the size of it, and 4 channel radios...im looking at a bunch of it, but dunno the difference...
