They are all cheap















for a millionaire
I have a lot less money in my 2.2s than I do my 1.9s, unless you find a heck of a deasl like I did. (Thanks Sacco)

It all depends. How hard you wheel and what you wheel. I havent had any problems with either and I wheel my trucks hard. But on the contrary you'd think 2.2's would have more problems and be more expensive.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone... it doesn't matter WHAT kind of a crawler you build... you're gonna have $400-$500 in it MINIMUM with batteries, radio gear, etc.

its as cheap as you want it. Hand make all your parts that you can. i saved me a whole mess of moeny doing that. also i switched car insurance.

which one would be the easiest for a beginner

There is really no easier. Although a good way to start would be an axial with a TCS X-trail. I generally like 2.2's better myself. Work alot better and you dont have to spend $40 to get a working tire(rc4wds).

thats all relative. easy would be to wait for the axial RTR kit.

[ak_rider]

the thing is that i want a scale craller

[LorenzoZ]

Like Sir Richard Bransen says "If you want to make a million dollars, start with a billion and buy an airline"

the words cheap and rc do not go together. There isn't much you can do with rc's that is cheap. Personally I'm a tight wad, I bought a scorpion and made all the hop-ups for it cuz I'm to cheap to buy the stuff. So if you have some fabrication skills buy what you can afford, drive it, and hop it up as you go. look at these two pictures, the first on is my rig a month ago bone stock. the second one was taken today

agreed!

if you look hard enough.. you might find some good deals..
or just hand make

[ak_rider]

sweet thanks!

Well in my opinion, 2.2 is easier and cheaper to get into just because of the influx of parts coming to the scene such as rtr crawlers. $279 for an ax-10 rtr and you're in. Now when you mentioned scale that is a whole new area. 1.9 or 2.2 scale is costly because of lack of parts and whats out there is very realistic stuff which cost $$ to make and or build.

[ak_rider]

ok...mmmm thanks

[rctoyguy]

I'm kinda in the same boat with trying to get started as cheaply as possible - My plan (at least for now), is to just start trying to look for deals on parts and picking them up as I can while I save my pennies... If I end up with enough pennies before I buy too many parts, I'll buy the Axial kit and go from there..

That month old rig looks AWESOME by the way... I love it! What all did you replace, and why?

[thatguy]

meth. depends on how psycho you go.do you just got to have the latest radio, servo,widget?

so far in 3 months of running my ax 10 i have only replaced my drive shafts

but the cost of replacement parts on an ax 10 are really cheep
