Talking New guy here from S.E. Wisconsin

Hey everyone,

Just popping in to introduce myself. My name is Chris and I'm 27 years old and currently reside in Saukville. I'm about 20 minutes north of Milwaukee.

I've been around RC a little bit. I just currently own a Team Associated SC10GT. Used to own a few Duratrax Evaders and my last electric basher was a Traxxas Summit which I didn't care for.

I'm looking into getting into the Crawler scene. Id love to build a Trail Finder for a tow rig, but I'm looking into opinions on for a good crawler to pull behind it. I have woods behind my house and plan to trail it back there as well as put it in the mud/water/snow etc.

Just looking for good inputs as far as Axial rigs go or if anyone else has any other suggestions.

Thanks everyone!

I'd say the most impressive thing I've seen lately is the Vaterra Ascender. Out of the box it looked really good.
It may be on my list of things to get someday... and I like K5 Blazer.

"whitrzac" has studied the Axial series in depth & has modded his SCX10 quite a bit.
Very capable with the right tires & mods.
Finding a group of guys & going to run some trails is 1/2 the fun.

The fun is building what you want and running with friends

Yeah, I think I'll stick to getting a new kit like I was going to.

Welcome! Bought a Dingo for my first rig. I made sure it was the KIT, and was happy I went that way. Way better to learn the rig by building it, but I understand the rtr concept for those who don't have the extra gear.
