|  Is it worth it
Well i got a venom creeper awhile ago and while it is a very capable crawler with a bit of work the aftermarket sucks for it. Up here i cant even get stock replacement parts without ordering. Am considering picking up a ax10 artr and swapping my electronics into it. Just wondering if its worth it. In case it matters am running a sidewinder cc bec venom 55t 645mg. Thanks for the input.

| Well lets see
I'm a AX10 guy at heart, so I don't know if I would be fair. I say sell that Venom and get you a AX10. The sooner the better if you ask me.  |

I started with a WK, then bought an ARTR. It's the way to go. ARTR is fun, easy to work on, and get parts for. It's worth it!  |

I normally get what can be supported locally. I just hate waiting for $2 in parts when you can just go buy them down the street for something else.

You could probably sell your current rig and almost break even.

If you can wait the Losi is the way to go and it'll be out in a week or so. I personally think the Creeper is more than capable with a couple upgrades, it keeps up with my AX-10 no problem.
