|  MOA vs Shafty. which build for comps
I would like to start getting into 1/10 comps. I keep going back and forth between the MOA or Shafty choice. I have a redcat 1/8 which is a MOA unit and I can see the benefits of it, however I also see the benefits of having all 4 wheels turn at the same speed all the time. I have had it where the fronts are spinning and the rear is just not getting enough juice to turn that at all climbing up vertical and over boulders... can you share more benefits of each type and also with and without using a DIG tranny. I am considering a pair of Bully steering axles to start the build but I also like the Gmade, axial and Losi comp crawlers so want to know which way is best and if there are any comp limits other than not using 4ws. thanks in advance...

Everything I read says MOA wins over shafty...ground clearance may be the big difference.

moa has a lower COG too. The stall could be fixed by a better/bigger battery.

I got my name on the waiting list for a couple of RC4WD 750 motors. If the axles on my Rockslide die I will just replace them with super bully axles... however that is just my fun machine. I'm leaning towards the bully 2.2's but still need to read up on everything else I need

As a complete noob I'm looking at going shafty and moving on to moa when I have a handle on how these things work...

I actually had a Redcat RS10 XT for my first rig and now drive a Losi Comp Crawler. The redcat so far has only cost me $190 and performed preety good with some very cheap or free mods but the losi has put me back somewhere around $450  . I really like the losi better but it is all your preference of what you want out of a rig then what the others give and how much you want to spend |

You don't need "a pair of Bully steering axles"...and yes, there are many comp limits other than not using 4ws. | |
