| What is a good crawler for scale
I guess I should ask is the Axial SCX10 Honcho a good star for scale... I am still learning but like what I have seen in trail videos and would like to move in that direction. |

Any of the scx-10 variants will do you well.

Welcome. If you're going to get an Axial product, I'd recommend the SCX10 II over a Honcho because of multiple upgrades in the new version (esp. the axles and steering). The next round of kits will be shipping any day now, ad the RTRs are scheduled to ship within the next couple of weeks. The Vaterra Ascender is another good option, and they are about to start shipping an RTR with a Chevy-based Honcho-like body.

Can't have a scale crawler without an interior. It's tough to beat RC4WD kits when it comes to scale. In most other kits the motor is in the middle of the chassis, taking up room for a clean interior. |

I guess I would ask where you're coming from (SC truck, Buggy, etc...). If you are interested in scale realism AND the challenge of 1.9s, then definitely SCX or Ascender. However, if you are coming from "go fast" platforms and want to get into scale crawling/G6 type, then a Wraith or RR10 Bomber can be wonderful platforms, too. They can be made to look scale (ish), "do work" at a G6, and maintain some pure bashability. All that being said, I want an SCX10 II also. Like the comedian Ron White says about certain female anatomy parts...once you seen one, then you want to see them all. |

Do the trail finder 2 sport leaf springs. Will that be on par with say a scx10 II when it comes to crawling? Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk |

The TF2 does come with leaf springs, so it's a completely different animal from an SCX10 or Ascender. The stock TF2 setup is limited, but with some tweaking, it can become a very capable performer that goes most places an SCX10 would be able to go. It requires more driving skill, but that's one of the things that makes it so rewarding. My first TF2 is still one of my favorite trucks to wheel. For anyone that is thinking about a TF2, I would encourage you to read our TF2 guide: http://www.rc4wdforum.com/showthread...ide-to-the-TF2 Once you've read it, buy one! You won't regret it... :-) | |

Me personally I would go with one of the original old faithful scx10 of your choice dingo not sure if they make that one any more but there is plenty of others,, honcho,, ram,, gobs of jeeps ,,they work ok from start kit or rtr and you don't have to wait for one there in stock in fact you might even get a semi good deal on one plus there is a GAZILLION aftermarket parts for them you can empty your bank account in about 1/2 hour or less on goodies for them I know I can sure there people that can to LMAO !!
