Question what should i get next?

i am going to get a new crawler soon and i am torn between 2 trucks, the losi mini crawler and the axial scx-10. my friend has the scx-10 and i have the ax-10 and i love how they drive and how durable they are, but i want something diffrent insted of my old ax-10 that i use for comps. how capable is the MRC? id lke to maybe enter a comp or two with it if i get it. but a scaler sounds fun too and i kno that the scx is just about like my ax and it cralws a little diffrent. so witch one is for me?

Being an AX 10 kind of guy, and having had an MRC.........
I say get the SCX 10. The MRC was fun, but not THAT fun. Needs a lot of work to be a truly capable crawler IMO. The SCX 10 will share a lot of parts with the AX 10, so less spares to keep on hand. It's easy to work on, and it just flat out WORKS. My self, I see a lot more potential in the 1/10 size kit than the MRC.
Just my $.02

Get the SCX10! I think you could have the best of both worlds if you choose the SCX10. Keep your AX10 as your comp rig, and your SCX as your scale rig.

I myself would get a mini...The aftermarket for that thing is crazy big now..And you can make them very capable.

If you get the mini, get some lockers for it asap.

I would personally get the scx10 and waterproof the electrics. That combo equals HOURS of fun
