scx10 the only way to go! alot of custom parts and ways you can build it? or buy a rtr/artr and go from there!

The honcho rtr is an awesome truck even with the plastic links and others stock parts. It crawls better at times than my 2.2 does. I just put a Tekin FXR with a 55t pro hand wound motor in it, and it does really well.

Don't get distracted by the bling, the honcho is a much better choice. | |

hands down more durable too.. my scx tumbled 50 feet down a hill at about a 45 to 50 degree angle with 8 ounces of copper bb' s in all 4 tires, dual 5500 stick packs and custom bumpers and sliders...  weighing around 9.5 pounds, i only cracked my blazer body through the top corner of the front fender from tumbling. scx all the way bro |

Stick with the Axial, you will wind up spending more on it, but its possibly THE best trail ready RTR without spending over $1000. I want to get a Honcho too, but I want to put a brushless system in it. 40mph scaler! Nice! check out the other scale trucks from RC4WD, but don't lose sight of your goal...The Honcho!

Thought I would add one thing too, tumble that RC4WD truck and take a major chance on bending the chassis too. The steel c frame chassis on the SCX is much more robust and much more scale too.

although a bit of a newbie I just finished an SCX Honcho Kit and am loving it. stay away from RTR and get the kit so you can learn as you go. i am running a Spektrum DX3E (only 99 bucks and comes with a servo) and Novak Goat with a 45t. |
