SCX10 if your more into the scale side. Wraith if you want a mix of scale and speed/basher. Both are good rigs so you just need to decide which one fits your needs.

basher/crawler i'd lean more toward the wraith, ridgecrest/deadbold side of things. Decent wheel speed with the climbing capibilities still intact. all available rtr

From Axial you have the Wrath, RidgeCrest/Deadbolt and SCX10. All of these have excellent 3rd party parts availability. None of these would be bad choice. If you want to be a bit different, look at the G-made Sawback kit. It is newly released so there isn't a lot of people with them yet so they will get lots of looks. |

If you want a basher/crawler and waterproof with tons of aftermarket products do yourself a favor and get a Summit. They are solid machines. You can go fast and crawl, also its RTR.

Personally, I WOULD NOT go for a Wraith. I've owned one and despite what most people say, I DON'T LIKE THEM. They're a reasonably good truck except, for $90 you could get a Ridgecrest which have all the stuff a Wraith has and it's lighter. Also, with the Wraith, I found it a real pain with access, it takes 10 or so screws just to access the reciever where the Ridgecrest takes 4 screws and a few body clips. The Wraith is also VERY top heavy, I found even on an old Ni-MH battery, full throttle would put it on it's roof despite me having the shocks set up reasonably hard. Sure, the Wraith might look a bit better but it's not hard to pop on a new body. Sure, I loved my Wraith but I got to say, I wish I had never sold my Baja Bug! Anyways, I got a SCX10 JK on it's way |
