Rockbuster or Max Climber

[fuzzhead]

well lets say money is no object and that they cost exactly the same price everywhere. which one would you choose. and not just because of cosmetics either. the reason im asking is beacause of the whole battery thing. i know you can ziptie one on the rockbuster but i want ur guys opinions. anyways shoot away

Are you going to keep it stock?

I built mine right from the start on the Penguin chassis and planned to run 2.2" tires from the start, so I bought the Rockbuster for $99.95 at Ultimate Hobbies and saved at least $30 over the Max Climber and used that to cover the bearings upgrade.

If you plan to run it stock, I would get the Max Climber for the stick pack convienence and I like the SUV body a bit better than the truck body.

well thats my point. i probably am not going to do an all out crawler. but im still going to lengthen it and such. and there isnt a lot of options for custom chassis(that i like anyways). so probably gonna stay mostly stock. i was wondering about perfomance wise as far as weight. and i heard that where the batt is mounted allows for more articulation or axle clearance. some bullsh**.

I was also wondering these questions like how is the articulation on either and what are some cheap mods that can be done? becuase i do not really want to go out and buy another 150$ chasis and purchusing the truck...
