So a few months back I came across a video on youtube of an XR10 doing some cool crawling. I was like damn, I have to get me one of those. Then I find they were discontinued. I saw the newer Axial products and ended up with the scx10. Well, it is fun and all and pretty cool looking but I think what I was really looking for is something like your comp crawlers.
It looks like the hobby has gone mostly scale. I start reading cool threads only to find that they were started in 2009 and only have a couple recent posts. To each his own but I want something like that XR10 or the older ax10? I see the newer ax10 but it looks like they switched to an all plastic frame? Not knowing much about them, I am trying to figure out what, if any, new crawlers can I purchase or maby try to get something used? Build one? I dont care if it looks scale or even has a body, I just want it to stick to the rocks.
I'm sure my SCX10 could be upgraded with a ton of stuff to make it crawl awesome. I see people swapping out what seems like most of their truck for aftermarket parts. If I'm going to swap everything out, why not just start with something that is closer to what I want to begin with.
So I guess after that long winded intro, my question is is the new AX10 a good platform to build on? Is an older AX10 going to be better for what I want? Team Losi crawler? What would you all suggest?
