losi mini or axial rtr
 

I have a chance to get a losi mini crawler for $150. it has 2 bodies and 3 sets of wheels and upper links along w/ the stock radio etc.... Or should I wait and get the axial rtr and upgrade as needed. I only plan to run local rocks and no comps. I am not sure if the mini is to small for what I want please help me decide. what would you do Please keep in mind I am married and well you know what I am talking about I cant buy both LOL

IMHO,the 2.2 is a more versital crawler,and is more biginner friendly.I have two 2.2 rigs,one I did most of my learning on,and the other,I'm learning to comp on.I'd like to try a 1.9mini now,but I think that I would've been dissapointed if I'd started with it.There's alot of gtgs,and local comps that are definately worth trying,alot don't run the 1.9's atleast around here.
Hope that helps.

for an extra $5 id go w/ the rtc

an extra 5 for a comp style body and much much better tires is well worth it.

as stated in the post above 2.2 is more versitile. plus the after market support if alot larger.

Get the RTC from axial. If you decide to compete it will give you a good base to start from. I started with the RTR, wish the RTC had been available.

what do you meen an extra $5 if the losi is 150 where are you finding the rtc for $155

I like my mini its fun to run indoors and around the house.

he was refering to the price of a rtr vs. a rtc. The rtc is 5 bucks more than the rtr

i got the rtr and the stuff you have to do out of the box to crawl aint worth saving 5 bucks, the rtc is well worth it with the shorter shocks, and better body and tires replace the lower links and its good to go!

I may get the losi for now and then work into a artr and build from there.

I pick up a axial on sunday (see my other post for specs) for 250 I cant wait

you made the right choice, i think the mini would get boring very fast.

well my mini keeps up with the 2.2 but it is built up i happen to like the mini and i started with a mini still saving for a 2.2 in the future

I agree, good choice. I have the artr, and now that I do I am thinking about getting a mini. But I;m glad I started with the 2.2
