Sawback quality/cheap feeling

[Axial n00b]

Hello, was looking at buying a sawback and i heard some say that they feel kinda cheap and are not as high quality as like an scx10. Are they really feeling cheap and not as high quality:?:

You heard that from an Axial fanboy.

I have two Sawbacks. The only damage I've had is bent leaf springs. And I even ran mine brushless for a while.

To this day the Sawback is one of my all time favorite trucks.

Same here. Got all kinds of crawlers. Sawback is great. Mine went through several phases and now runs leafs in the back and links/shocks up front. Only part that ever broke was drive shaft.
Mine came with philips screws back then, which sucks but once assembled they work like any other screw. Get the zero ackerman knuckles and cms in the long run but mine performed surprisingly well from the start. Don’t even why but I’d prefer it over an ascender.

Have the sawback and the komoto and have had great luck with both. Also have scx10's. all are great trucks, but leaf trucks handle different. Worth the money.

I can only assume you watched the "RC Addict / real honest review" Youtube video. That was the only time I've heard someone say it felt cheap compared to an SCX10 - if anything, a stock og scx10 feels cheap in comparison to a stock Sawback.
