| Size Differences?
Hey Everyone, I am trying to decide which crawler to get and I love this forum and all the posts so I figured it was the best place to ask. Here is what I plan to do with it and what my situation is: 1. I want something I can use indoors - I have a shop with an office in it that I work out of 80% of the time. I want to build a nice little indoor course to play with when I need to blow off steam or just get the urge. 2. I am not really going to be competing, it is just a for fun kind of ride 3. It will be my first crawler but not first R/C by any means 4. I travel some for work and would like to bring it along with me for the same reasons as listed under #1. 5. I will use it out doors as well, just playing around town, at my families when we go, at our camp, things like that. The reason for my post title is that I feel size has a lot to do with all of my points I listed and I am curious is there is really that much size and power difference between things like the MRC and AX-10? Thanks for any input you may have. |

It depends on what you mean by, "I want to build a nice little indoor course to play with when I need to blow off steam or just get the urge.", mainly the amount of room you have. More than likely the Losi Mini Rock Crawler (MRC) is what you are looking for.

Th mini losi is very popular and would be good for what you want. If I was doing it, I'd get a cliff climber and set it up with 4ws and front & rear dig. I think it would be a blast to play mini super on a little indoor rock pile and when/if ya want to move up ya already "got all the moves"! |

I went for the Losi MRC 1/18 scale. I think that would be your best bet as well.
