Vaterra ascender, Axial wraith spawn or Trailfinder 2?

[outdoorsmanjw]

I am looking to buy one of three but need help deciding. Also should I go kit or RTR? I don't really dig the K5 in red and would like to change it to a Toyota body or a bronco body anyways. Thanks to everyone who replies back to me or even reads this.

Need alot more info to even begin to help.

Kit or rtr - -
Whats your level of rc experience? So you already have elwctronics to complete a kit build? What kind of budget?

As far as which truck - -
Whats your plans
..light trail only, trail+crawling, mostly crawling, speed/bashing? What kind of terrain do you have to run on?

I don't have any electronics. I have had a few RC'S I had a wraith posing spyder and a losi comp crawler. I want a trail rig mainly with good crawling capabilities. I think I narrowed it down to the wraith and ascender.

I got bored with my wraith very quickly.

Even though you didnt mention it, i would suggest the SCX10 in kit form or RTR Ascender.

The Wraith requires some hardcore terrain to keep things interesting since it rolls over most things you would encounter on the typical hiking trail with minimal effort. The Ascender will provide more of a challenge navigating less than extreme terrain. The challenge of driving keeps it fun, easy gets boring quick.

With that said, the Ascender is amazingly capable out of the box. the only thing that hinders it's performance is the huge Blazer body which you would change anyway.

I got a rtr ascended after I put the mip's in I kept up with all the wraiths around here including the built ones with basically a stock truck I'm glad I went with the rtr because it has descent enough parts to get you going. The trail finder is great I almost got one but didn't due to just wanting to keep up.with everyone else
