Can someone please help me? I'm a nube.

these guys are trying to give you great advice. i built an scx10 one part at a time for $300. go for the axial its a good rig, i cant seem to break mine.

[Baisley101]

I'm new also. I've done alot of research and looking and Axial definitely seems the way to go. I'm going to order a Wraith kit this week.

seems to me at this point he's just spamming to get up to his 30 posts....

[johnnyh66]

AG, he'll have plenty to post once he gets his RedCat or Komodo.

Baisley, get the Axial, it's your best bet of you plan to stay in the hobby. I prefer the SCX10 to the Wraith for several reasons but you can't go wrong either way.

Keep in mind, all crawlers need to be upgraded and tweaked to do the stuff you see on here.

Peck, you wanted advice, we gave it... take it or leave it and live with it, it's your choice.

well i'm just wondering if i'm better off with the redcat now and get a lot of upgrades or the scx10 and no upgrades for at least a year :-/

and what are you talking about 30 posts??????

read the rules , explains it all

[slashinbashin]

you should get an scx10 because it is super durable. mine has fallen down a flight of stairs with no problems. I would say you should get some aluminum links or a nice body to make it your own. Or you could upgrade to a 3 channel radio with a winch for more scale looks

At this point you're just not listening. These are the kind of threads that get some of us in trouble. The really cheap trucks you keep mentioning are junk. If you don't want to take our advice, don't. But we don't wanna hear you whining when your dog turd of a crawler is broken every 5 mins and you can't get parts.

[peck126]

listen you don't gotta be a dick about it

[Brainstain]

Do what you want since you apparently know what you're doing and "dicks" are just trying to help you so you don't blow your money and end up buying replacement parts instead of upgrades.

[peck126]

u r the only one being a dick and i haven't heard anything bad about rs10's at all besides servos which i already have a plan for and i can get all the upgrades i want now but with the scx 10 i won't be able to until after college in 4 1/2 years i won't have money for it

[yoda@4x4]

There is no help for this kid he will buy a crap rig and be mad every day till he get's the scx10...


Let him learn on his own every one here has told him the best thing to do and he keeps coming back with junk and has a reson why he wants it...

[peck126]

i can only order on amazon because i have no credit card and there's no hobby shops near me i don't have much a choice

[yoda@4x4]

Well then I would not buy one at all it is a waste of money to buy any of the Trucks you have talked about and if you can't get parts for them then you are going to a have even more problems.. I would wait till you were able to buy the right truck and a good truck till then just read and learn what you can...

Then kid, sorry but you shouldn't be looking at any R/C vehicle. The initial purchase is one thing, but parts break, and cost money.

Your E-Revo VXL will break parts pretty regularly seeing as its a MUCH faster vehicle than a crawler.

Take a step back and reevaluate your financial situation.

In your original post you said your looking for a scaler. Most of the rigs you listed there are not scalers but comp rigs. Everyone that has chimed in already is right, the Axial SCX10 is THE standard of the scaler comunity. My club has MANY great custom builders but most seasons are won with SCX-based rigs. If your new to it an Axial rtr will be your cheapest and most enjoyable truck to start with. If you don't love it, you can sell it here fast and get most of your money back. If you do love it there is a HUGE aftermarket and you can build/buy anything you could imagine. The SCX10 is a very fun, affordable, competitive and easy entry into this hobby.

Done.

what about the wraith are they good for all around bashing?
