RTR VS Scratch Built?

[diceman42]

I've been going back, and forth myself for some time now. My kids got scx24s for Christmas, and they drive those things all over the place. I'm now mostly leaning towards a rtr just to get going, and upgrade as needed from there.

My verdict is that if you enjoy the build element of the hobby, get the kit. I have never owned an RTR as the building is really what I enjoy most, and it helps me understand exactly how the vehicle is built and works if anything isn't quite right or needs to be upgraded or modified later on.

If you're not big into building then the RTR as said will get you up and running quicker.

Cost wise, RTR is probably cheaper up front but many of them come with lesser quality electronics which may well end up fazing out or needing to be improved in the long run. Hard to make a decision based on this if you're new to crawling though.

TRX Sport Kit imo is the way to go as the first kit to build
