| looking to get my first cralwer here what i found so far .
Ok so i've been doing some searching and reading here around th board lately and here it what I've found that I liken crawlers and in my price range to start up etc . 58405 Tamiya Toyota Land Cruiser 40 CR-01 Kit http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/shop/ind...roducts_id=878 I really like the looks of its supsenion and what not I was curious if any one runs it or something simliar and could point out the pros or cons for? Then here is my second choice . http://www.axialracing.com/ftp/scx10-kit-v2/ I'm leaning towards the Fj40 , just cause I am liking the suspension a little better of looks and flex . So does any one have any input on these two rigs . Thanks . |

id have to say im an scx guy, not nocking the tamiya tho but you wont find a wider range of accessories out there than for an axial (wider range of accessories = more options for you = more competitive pricing = better deals for you = possibly cheaper build) its great chassis to go scale, but if you want comp the go with the ax10 unless your wallet grows then just buy a tuber or more le-jit chassis...

x3 I'm not much of a scale guy (yet, but the idea has been growing on me more and more) I really dig the looks of the new Honcho and axial makes great products! |

axial is an excellent start. You can easily add aftermarket parts as your wallet can handle

the axial crawls better, has way more optional parts, and is a more scale foundation for a build. you can mount the tamiya FJ body on the axial if you want too.

Yea that is what I figuered I could do with the bodies is switch them in and out when I wanted too. I do like the pickup from after reading it and more add on is what this stuff is all about . This will be my birthday present this year lol . It also a 100 bucks cheaper too .
