Better to choose the best platform and then buy a hardbody you like for it in my view. I went Axial scx10ii raw builders kit and then killer body lc70 hard body for my recent build. That way I have the detailed body I wanted plus proven base with loads of after market support. | |

If you're only planning on ever buying one get a vanquish vs4-10 pro or ultra. This is the best kit on the market as far as durability, capability, and scale looks go. The Cross-RC stuff looks good, but it's going to be a lot to keep up with and parts are harder to come across than the other mainstream brands. Buy once, cry once.

from what I gather he already bought it. I think he's looking for affirmation that he made a good choice, not reasons why he didn't lol.

You did ask some very basic/pointed questions at the beginning (a few that could be answered with some thread digging) but I can answer a few of them with opinion/assumption/fact jumbled together lol: 1. why does he have dual shocks? So it looks more fancy. You want to dampen movement, not cause it to cease altogether. 2. how is the rear frame metal? or is that paint. paint over metal. unless you mean the bed cage thing, that is plastic 3. the wheel hex nuts are they wheel spacers to widen the stance? I was wondering when I saw them for sale also then I seen them on this guys build yes those are wider wheel hexes. I run them on both of my rigs. Downside is they come loose a lot and I've bent the pins several times on the 3s rig. Upside is stance is cool. Here they are for sale https://www.crossrc.us/shop/sg-4-sr-4-hex-hub-4-count/ 4. skidplate looks aftermarket it is Now the cpl question I have left are RC4wd mudslingers VS SS boggers Boggers if you are into scale, the mudslingers are not as scale. Personally I'd skip both and go with 1.9 Interco TSLs I will be mostly rocks and streams not as much mud but will see some . generally ill be doing everything with it but again im set on the look. They actually suck in mud even though they are sold as a mud tire, unless you cut some of the lugs out. They get packed and turn into glorified drag slicks. But they do shine on rocks with the right foam. | |

Not sure if that $549.99 price is RTR or kit, but willing to guess it's a kit just by judging off of other Cross RC prices. That's a pretty pricey kit IMO. Last edited by ScaleLifeNewbie; 01-26-2021 at 01:27 PM. | |

How are you an outsider SLN? You are a forum member with an opinion. Makes you an insider I think lol.

I think only a handful in this thread do, which makes it even more amusing.

yes by the time my thread was posted i had found most of those answers elsewhere but i could do no digging as i was not fully approved on the forum so I got most of my answers from bcrcgaming or aussy rc And with the tires I could see that it kinda happens on my YJ too gotta get those girls spinning to keep the treads clear and thats probably not a good thing on rc I could see that. Thanks for the feedback no matter how much i look at the axail wraith or the traxxas that stuff just seems cheap to me . my friend has a traxxas and is contantly breaking stuff so much so he doesnt even play with his rc's anymore ,, plus I always have the weird off/high priced taste | |

The G2 skid at least keeps the tabs from bending and catching on everything but the geometry is still absolutely terrible. Vertical separation is important at the axle and chassis. Indeed, lots of people have opinions and few have real experience. I have both but my experience isn't a positive one because I've grown accustomed to rigs that trend towards performance and durability vs looks and scale. | |
