| Ok Total newb ?
I am new to the crawling world, and want to build/buy a 1.9 scale crawler. I have looked at the SCX10, also I really like the TCS chassis for the AX10 for the tune ability, or would starting from the ground up be better. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

the losi mini crawler is 1.9, the good thing with that is that the axels are good for a scale truck cuz there not that wide, also they make a few scale chassis for it.

Yup, I have been researching parts for my MRC tuber build, it is A LOT cheaper to buy the RTR, then upgrade from there.

though the mini has 1.9 tires. i would call it a 1.5. its barely capible of leaving the living room imho. the axials set on a xtrail chassis with 1.9s is MUCH more true to size imo. Quote:

You could always build your own. All you would need is a mig welder, Or see if you can find somebody that has the kind you want and see if they can build you one. |
