If your into scale then go check out some of the stuff in the general scale sections 1.9,2.2 ect..... Axial now has a Scx10 with 2.4 radio setup. which is a scale truck

yeah i seen that. i just was just trying to see if there was any other options out there. seems alot of ppl are running the scx10's seems like a good truck to start off with.

I agree the SCX10 is a great rig to start with. The parts support from the factory and the aftermarket are second to none. And hop ups are plentiful.

It is an SCX10. Toyota cab, tube bed. Wheelbase is a tad longer than other SCX's, and the motor is a 27t if I remember correctly. Same frame, same axles, same gearing. They now come with a 2.4 radio and a much improved speed control (basically a brushed motor only Sidewinder).

Also a good choice.

I too would like to see the RTR Honcho come in kit form. Half the fun is building them...

I would use blue loc-tite (you can get it at just about any auto parts place) on ALL the hardware. Let it sit overnight and then go run it.
It also pays to check all hardware after every outing, just to be sure. I do this, even when using loc-tite.

Losi Night Crawler for sure!
