I would say if you have the funds all at once then yes get the Axial, if you are like me and have a ok amount but not enough to get Axial then start with a E10 and then slowly purchase your mods. I know a lot will say "just save up" well it is either start cheap and be able to enjoy going out and driving your RC or sit at home and save your funds.
Personally I would rather be out driving a cheaper RC then sitting at home thinking about driving one.
For the price of one Axial roller (280.00 US dollars) I was abler to pick up 2 E10's so me and my wife can both go out and drive.
By the time im done yes I will have spent the same as to purchaseing 2 Axial SCX10 RTR's but in the end I will have 2 Axial SCX10's and 2 E10's.
