Smile What to get

hello all, i am sam, i am new to rc crwaling but definately no new to RCs, i currently own 2 drifters, a 1/18 basher, a kyosho scorpion (1982 buggy) and a losi micro t with BL, and yeh i was wondering what to get, i am on a budget of about 250/300, i was thibnking the losi mini crawler would be good, as it is mini and would be lots of fun to be a rock racer, im looking at something that is durable but i can also have a bash out the front,

me personally i would love a traxxas summit but they are way out of my price range. i was also thinking about a wheely king, as i can have a bash with it and then convert it to crwaler later, and because of the size of the wheel king it uses all normal 1/10 motors and batts, which i have plenty of.

so in summing up what are your recommendations for a rock crawler/rock racer.???

Default Try this

You could buy what is label as a Rock Racer / Rock Crawler and go with the AX RTR. If you want alittle speed and the looks of a scale down truck go with the AX10 SCX. It all depends on what turn motor you put into your rig. Hopefully this help alittle bit.

thanks, i was thinking of the losi MRC but it would be cheaper for me to get a WK and convert it to a CK, and also because of the scale of the WK i can use any normal sized motor. were i would love to get the MRC i would then have to get a specific small BL motor. hmmmmm, my price range is between 250-380 at max. that is AUD btw. so yeh, i can get a WK 4x4 rtr for 299 and then get the crawler kit later on. i think im going to have to get some more money, and then i might get a AX10. cant find the scaled AX10 SCX that you speak of.

help me out people, help me make a decicsion on what crawler i should get, i want something that can crawl very nicely and comes pretty much RTC stock, so i don't need to upgrade anything. And also if i chuck in a powerful BL system will i be able to bash this thing. Basically i want a Crwaler that i can run stock finely and if i want to jump/bash it i can.

what is my decision??? i like the MRC by losi but then that will only limit me to 1/18 events, and i dnt even know if rock crawling exists in australia, i would like to get the ax10 as it is 1/10 scale, and are built farely tough, i found a cheap HSP 1/8 crawler on ebay and lloks the same as an ax10 except in orange but, then again it is cheap brand and if it breaks it is fail, so right now im tossing up between the MRC,AX10 RTR and a WK/CK

please help me make my deciision, i need sumthing that i won't have to upgrade, i can just run it in a stock class.

Hey squirt22 have you joined the crawl pit? It's an Australian crawler site, those guys will be able to hook you up with parts and other things.

You have the Ax10 or the losi crawler both are 1/10. The ax10 is where I would put my money.

Join THE CRAWL PIT you got guy's like Peli, Badmuthertrucker, Lincolnblack just to name a few, they will help you alot some of them live in Sydney. Cheers Mate.
