I saw that one, it is only a rtr at the moment, however it has the same wheel base as the unlimited does.

Went to the LHS and priced out the Rubicon Unlimited, and got side tracked by the Ascender K5, still torn on which one. Time will tell though. haha [ |

If we want aftermarket support for the ascender then more and more people need to buy them. What aftermarket company is going to blindly make parts for a vehicle that may or may not sell? As for OD/UD it does not have to be done at the axles. Do it with the trans like the tf2 I believe it is. I personally do not own an ascender so I'm not sure if that's even possible. Probably require a motor forward design with a divorced t-case.

I realize this is an older thread but I thought id add a few observations after making the same decision recently. The Vattera kit is $325ish depending where you look. You do get a bunch of nice upgrades like the metal trans gears and CMS setup... But its still $325 for a kit. You can buy an SCX10 dingo for just over $200 after discounts. Add about $25 for the 2 metal transmission gears you need and youve got $100 left to spend in other upgrades before you even reach the price of the Vattera kit. If your smart, you can have an equally upgraded Axial for the same price as the Vattera but enjoy the HUGE aftermarket parts support and stellar reputation. I like the Vattera and do plan to get one. But for my first truck, I wanted something that was cheap, but still good and had enough parts support that I could learn about all the upgrades at my own pace. The Dingo was too good a deal to pass up. I found a cheap Jeep Cherokee body for it, upgraded the trans gears and threw on a few other extras and I'm still darn close the price of the Vattera kit. |

The Vaterra kit is the better kit in my opinion, more clearance and much better steering and articulation.

but then with different region comes different price range.. here in Indonesia, the SCX10 prices ranges from around $360 to $477 due to USD to IDR rate and those custom "prices" here.. with some secondhand items can be cheap, some upgraded rigs also met with higher price.. the things we have to enjoy here Quote:
