Default My first RC kit?

I want to get an Axial XR10 kit. Any reason this should not be my first RC kit? Any input either way would be welcome. Thanks.

Here's a good article on how to build a budget/sportsman class XR10:

No reason it shouldn't be your first kit. Crawlers are relatively simple machines to build.

My first crawler was an AX10. If the XR10 had been around at the time I might have gotten it instead.

If budget is a concern, the XR10 might not be the way to go...

I read that the other day. I think that's the way I would go to start out. I have a Losi Pro now and enjoy it but I have always wanted to do a kit build.

I would look on craigslist and see if you can get a great deal on an ax10

I got mine with 2 sets of beadlocks and a mamba max and a bunch of parts for 70 bucks

the xr10 is a big bucks rig
