|  RC4WD Trail Finder or Axial SCX10
Hello everyone, Looking to get into some scale crawling and I would like to buy a scale kit. I have three RTR's (slash 4x4, sprint 2 drift, and a losi micro crawler). The micro crawler is great but its not realistic enough for me and I want something bigger than just crawling over my desk. Although, with the DP torsion chassis it can get over almost anything. ANYWAYS, I've been all but committed to buying an SCX10 kit. Then I found RC4WD's site. They have some amazing looking crawlers and scalers. Which is the better chassis to build/learn on? It would be between these two since they are about the same price. http://rc4wdstore.com/2/product_info...61807b0865c064 http://www.axialracing.com/ftp/scx10-kit-v2/ |

Axial, definately. I have both. The Axial is much more user friendly.

The axial will be the better choice. That body from RC4WD sucks in my opinion. I had it for a two weeks, on my first run the body cracked from rolling over. out a week later, the body cracked in half. In my opinion the lexan is way to thin for a scaler. Axial can be made to look like the t finder or even better. Plus the proline jeep bodies fit the axial way better and their lexan is thicker than T finder. Hope you have fun with whatever you buy.  |

Bit the bullet on a honcho kit last night. I don't know a ton about whats best for crawlers so I'll ask now. I plan to run a 2s lipo battery. I've heard to use a 35t brushed but what about brushless? Are brushless worth the money in a scale truck?

RPP Has Honcho's http://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/ax90014.htm This is by far the best kit on the market price and performance. Right here is your best buy for esc combo. I have never try this motor but it's almost free with this combo, His handwound 35t-40t are the bomb. http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php...3&cat=4&page=1 |

I use a velenion brushless because its water proof and makes alot of power more than you might need for a scale truck but that's what gearing is for to tame it down some. I can completely submerge my truck in the water/mud and as long as i change the bearings in the motor every 2-3 months it runs like a champ never had a problem [the axial axle bearings last longer than the stock one's do plus there only a few bucks]
