It's all good ...until you have to buy a Losi team crawler to be completive. That will be a sad day for scratch builders. Is the Axial just the beginning of the end? Just a thought Mike |

I liked your story Krawlin!! I agree, we need more people that want to do things themselves. I honestly hate the RTR's and missed putting a kit together. The AX10 is what got me going in this side of the hobby(Crawlin). I am a pretty industrious guy and can build things but, don't have the time. The kit is great and it has been transformed into an SW3 with all kinds of custom parts now. My 11 yr old son has a few RC's also and all are the RTR's and he lost interest in most of them. Well he has been fascinated with my crawler since I got it. So we got him one for Xmas this year, He spent all day yesterday putting it together(about 9hrs). I have to say, I have never seen him that determined and focused on anything in his short life so far. He ate his lunch and dinner right there while he was putting it together. He put 95% of the kit together himself and I did the electronics and he did it with very little help. He actually used the instructions. He even put the beadlocks together himself. He woke up early this morning and all he was doing was staring at it!!!!LOL I asked him what he was doing, he said he was admiring his work. He is proud of what he did and he has already said he appreciates more than all his other RC's because he put it together. He is already talking about beating me at the next comp!!! Not sure of the relavince this story is to this thread, but I have to say that I am a proud Father to a next Generation RC Nerd.

I'm in, thanks for the chance. The OG's are still around, but we don't post much anymore. Doesn't make much sense to post up an all-new chassis design, only to get responses like "wut tires r thoes"  |

I registered today after being in the hobby for around 8 or 9 years. I read Krawlin's post and I did the cliffnotes, but they ended up way too long..it's a good read! Pretty amazing that a 9 year old is talented enough to tune an engine and not just throw the car in front of you and tell you to break it in for him...even to read the instructions and know to break it in. So many times I've seen even adults just buy a nitro 4-tec because it goes 70mph and not break it in then wonder why its not starting. Sounds like a talented kid whos going to do really well later in life I guess I don't mind all the new RTRs and whatnot. I do find it funny when you see 50 AX10s and 49 of them look like the picture on the box. In no way is it a bad thing>they built the kit and fixing/tuning it will be easy, but I like to have rigs that no one has ever seen. Kind of like the people who got their AX10s and deanodized all the green and anodized it blue or another color. -|maniac| |

If traxxas ever comes out with a crawler RTR, I will buy it, strip it of everything but the axles and tranny and start building. Since when have they ever released something that isnt bulletproof or damn close. maxx bulkheads...I know...shut up about the bulkheads. lol
