Well it is like comparing apples and oranges. The SCX10 is a scale truck and the AX10 a comp truck. That being said you really cannot compare the two. If you are wanting a scale truck the SCX10 is the easiest way to go. It is a VERY capable scale rig...

Id agree with 1rc monster, they are very capable sometimes im suprised by the lines they can pull. Also they are very durable, as long as your reasonable. But if you break something there are plenty of metal parts to choose from.

Buy both, use one as a scale rig, and the other as a comp. rig  The scx uses 1.9 tires and the ax uses 2.2 and can be made to look more scale(ish) |
