Honestly its a matter of personal preference between the Honcho and Dingo, kit or rtr. If i were to buy a new one, i would definitely go with a kit again, it gives you a serious understanding of how a scaler works when you build it yourself. The honcho comes with a slightly longer wheelbase, so when you start giving it more power you will notice a slight stability difference between the two. Other than that, the dingo kit comes with a 4-link kit, aluminum lower links and steering rods, the Wild Boar 8 driveshafts (may only be the Dingo kit, but IMO a great lightweight driveshaft and better than the stock Honcho shafts), and you get to put loctite exactly where you need it!

If its your first crawler, there's no better option than the SCX-10. Which model is up to you, If you're serious in the hobby I suggest the Dingo kit (completely biased opinion based on what i own), But I guarantee you will start upgrading parts/electronics pretty quick, and through experience you will find what is best for you.

This response was fueled by 8 bottles of James Ready 5.5%. Did I make sense?

WATCH IT!!!!! The crawler bug will get u LOL I started as a honcho but switched wheelbase to suit the body I wanted I actually made 3 sets of links to fit my different bodies so the rtr was ok for me because I knew I was gonna make my own links my stock electronics were ok for a start I have heard horror stories bout axial electronics you are definitely in the right place for all the info you'll ever need good luck

Honcho is coming with the WB8 shafts now too just FYI.

i picked up a ax10 scorpion rtr due to a trade... if i had a choice id rather have a scx-10.. to which i will have eventually...
either way... if you get a RTR you will have to learn how to fix it when the times comes.. but a kit will allow you to build it and know ahead of time when something breaks what is going on.. I wish mine was new and a kit as when I take it apart.. i learn something each time...

I have both the Honcho and the Dingo. Love them both either way you can't go wrong. If you plan on going 2.2 though I would say the Honcho, less mods to make them fit right.
