Exclamation Vote! Axial scx honcho or Redcat Gen 7 pro

I have a ax10 and same parts would be nice.
Gen 7 is cheaper to buy and leaves room for more parts. I’ll order a truck today. Decide what one I will get cause I can’t.

If you cannot decide on your own which you want, than my vote would be neither.

Redcat over Honcho. RTR Cherokee over Redcat.

That would be the last Axial vehicle I would have recommended. Some people love their Wraiths, but they have extensive modifications. I hate my Wraith and much prefer my Bomber.

It doesn't do anything well in stock form. Even on the slow, stock, brushed motor it will roll in the turns. Too high to go fast and too high to crawl. But if you lower it you drag that massive skid plate that it has. Some people love it and get it to work though so don't take my word for it.

I would have recommended the Bomber as a better 2.2 rig as would most people.

But, like I said, I've personally seen Wraiths tear up the rocks so don't give up on it.

Don't regret your purchase. I started out with my wraith when I got into the hobby, it was a great rig... unfortunately mine is in pieces in need of parts to get it back running again. Lack of funds and rig priority has kept on the shelf lately.

I will say some things I did with it that made all the difference, mine was dedicated to crawling. All the truck really started out with was the battery forward mod (free), level 3 RC shock mount lowering it, a complete metal link set (suspension and steering), and steering servo with metal horn. It was a pretty fun truck with just those things done. From there I got a brushless system and then it got expensive...

That sucks, hope it's not too serious.

You mentioned flying to Vancouver, where are you located? I ask because I live on Vancouver Island.

Sorry to hear about the situation. For others looking into the original two vehicles I would have said Honcho. If you later wanted to go crazy then the mods are available.

Wow! Sorry to hear that! I hope he's OK!

When you come back you can decide if you still want that Wraith or something else.

Until now I didn't even know Prince George existed, lol. As for the truck, maybe next time you can get a kit and build it with him.

I usually buy from amain because they stock most things, the shipping usually isn't too bad, but customs is no fun. You could try eBay for a kit, I never have to pay for customs on eBay packages.
