Default Which Turn Key

I was out with a budy this weekend and he had a RC rock crawler. We had a great time with it and now I have the bug. My buddy had a HPI Crawler King RTR w/ Jeep Rubicon body. I was pleasantly surprise how well it did, although it was a little top heavy. So I'm looking at some ready to race/crawl kits and wanted to get opinions on the following two:

1. Losi Night Crawler RTR
2. Axial Scorpion RTC

Looking for the pro's and cons for each.

Thanks in advance.

im a big axial fan and would gest the acial rtc, like any r2r its lacking in the electronics dept compared to what is available, but axial has a huge after market following and parts are decently cheap and plentiful for what ever you end up wanting to do with it

I've had experience with both, and the Losi is more capable out of the box, but they both can be turned into very competitive rigs. The electronics on both of them are crap, so either way you go, electronics should be your first upgrade.

Of course after my inquiry I realized I should have searched the forum since this has been asked before. Newbie to RC's but not forums, shame on me. But thank you for the feedback without flaming...

Experience with both here also, the LNC is a much better truck than the Axial.

No flaming allowed in the noob section.

btw: welcome to your new addiction.
