or should i just do ckrc's build your own crawler package. and i understand that ultimately its my own decision but i want some crawler vets opinions. my budget is $400

[theloudone]

buy an old but rtr scx10 on ebay for around $225 and go from there

[johnnyh66]

I agree with the used scx10 but I'd buy it here instead of ebay.
The scx10 has the best after market support and is arguably the most durable from the list you posted.

i don't have paypal and i'm only 17 so i dont really want something used (society has corrupted me into believing new is better)

[k7zpj]

I would look at the SCX10 Honcho RTR. You could get the Honcho plus a upgrade or two for $400.00

Check out the prices at RPP Hobby or TCS Crawlers.

I would just get an scx10 from RPP if I was you. Stay away from CKRC.....search and you'll know why.

[peck126]

i can't seem to find anything about problems with ckrc other than bad customer service could you please explain?

[ScaleFreak93]

Well a personal expiercience was that I paid for 2-3 day shipping, and it did get here in 2-3 days, after they shipped it 2 months after I orederd. They ignored my emails, and calls. The customer service is the problem.

Scale Rigs Brand Specific Tech - RC4WD Trail Finder 2 at RCCrawler.com

I got a Trail Stomper recently. Definitely would recommend it, but it needs a few mods, most of which I've done free. Driveshafts suck, remove one of the leafs from the packs, and take the o-rings out of the shocks.

i'm strongly considering the venom or the komodo but i can't seem tofind much on the komodos

No, no, and no to CKRC. Just take the advice you're being given. The SCX10 is the way to go. Quit being uppity and save some money. $400 on eBay or here in the for sale section will get you a really nice truck with some upgrades.

If you buy from CKRC call make sure it is in stock and place your order over the phone. I have had good luck with them, I am still waiting on an order from rc4wd, check out tower hobbies too or RPP for fast shipping. Tower offers easy pay of 3 payments for most axials.

[snohiker]

yup scx 10 and tower hobby ive bought two trucks from them on the easy pay plan TowerHobbies.com | AX90022 Axial 1/10 SCX10 Trail Honcho 4WD EP RTR

[ridepate]

SCX. There is no other...........Or get a used AX and convert.

[peck126]

What about the Redcat Rockslide RS10 XT?????

[peck126]

Or should i get a sumo, micro, or trailtrekker??
