| crawler to scaler?
i have a stock axial rtc and am just wondering what it would take and how much money it would take to convert my rtc to a scaler? would i have to get a different chassis and suspension and everything? any help would be good |

pick yourself up an scx-10 chassis and some shorter suspension links. Then grab yourself a scale body. It shouldn't cost you too much unless you want it to |

yeah, either scx10 chassis or hit up TCS and get a xtrail chassis conversion for the ax10, its what i did. very capable. but either way, it'll only cost as much as you want it to |

I haven't used an X-Trail before, but they have been used on the board here for lots of different rigs and almost everybody says they love them.

the xtrail chassis is a very capable chassis..and everything from the ax10 will bolt right up
