Default wheely King or axial rtr????

o man which one should i get? i mean, im not doing any real hardcore crawling. just more like bashing and jumping and some mudding. crawling would only be like small rocks and little stuff. im looking for a price range between $150-$250, i can get the axial for 250 on egay. but any other rcs are also very welcome! and are wheely king parts harder to find then axial parts?

Going off what you list, either would do. Check local hobby shops and go with whichever they carry the most parts for. If thats not an option, go with whichever is cheaper and save up for good electronics. I've had the WK and I prefer the Scorpion but either will do what you want.

im kinda going towards the wk because for one its way cheaper. i seen it jump in the videos and it was badass. it seems like it has more power and everything too.

power has nothing to do with the chassis, it's on wat motor, esc, and battery your running.

I found the wheely king to be a great starter truck, taught me alot about how to mod out a truck, i use mine for mudding and crawling and all around bashing goodness.

But I did find most of my fun in building it, never used an ax10 but im using the axles in my next build so we'll see.

Depends on what you're looking for in handling. Neither truck is a race car, but the WK is set up for, well, wheelies. The front end is really like and the thing will understeer badly. The Axial will do the same, but will handle a little better overall. I'd go with the Axial, but I've got a bias towards better handling and racier performance. I'll second the vote to check with your local hobby shop, too. You will break stuff, and having your truck down for a week because you're waiting on parts is lame.

You can never go wrong with an Axial or a WK, i personaly like the Axial because the axles are a bit wider than tlt's but narrower than the WK ones.
