It really all depends on what you plan to do with it. Are you wanting to do comps? Crawl big rocks? Look cool in your front yard?

In my opinion a tuber would be a better choice for the long run. A scaler would look cool, but after a while you would wish that you had something that could crawl better.

Tuber! If you want to go the scale way I have a scale chassis and uncut/unpainted Jeep body for the "LMC" aka "MRC" for sale if you go that way  |

A 1/18 scale rig is pretty damn cool; there are some nice builds here already, however...   |

Im building a tuber with some scale style (jeep). I didnt want to scale it too much because it seems like it sacrifices too much capability for looks. I still want mine to perform as well if not (hopefully) better than it did stock. If I didnt start this tube chassis a month ago I might be building a more comp style tuber like the one above.

Those are RC4WD 1.9 Rock Crushers mounted on CAC 2.0 BAMF's The slight added diameter allows the tires to hold tight without gluing them. Sick little set up huh?  |
