I purchased a TRX-4 Bronco 2021 because I wanted to get into the hobby and loved the look of it. I've enjoyed driving it around in the snow around here and I'm looking forward to taking it hiking. I then purchased an Axial SCX24 Deadbolt to drive around inside and my older son (8 years old) has been having a blast creating courses for it to drive through, which makes me want to pick up another 1/10 crawler for him (and me) to drive when we're outside, so I'm researching what would be a good second 1/10 crawler. I'm considering:
- Axial SCX10 III Gladiator
- Axial SCX10 III Early Bronco
- Element Ecto
- Element Knightrunner
- TRX-4 Sport
I currently lean towards both the SCX10 III platform and the TRX-4 Sport for different reasons.
I like the idea of the SCX10's because of the two speed transmission and the scale details. One of the things my son and I both like about the TRX-4 2021 Bronco is you can kick it into high gear and bash around a bit. I'm torn between the Early Bronco and the Gladiator bodies, but lean towards the Early Bronco because I love that blue green color and it's compatible with the JConcepts Creep body if I decide to pick that up down the road.
I'm interested in the TRX-4 Sport because I already have a TRX-4, have two batteries for it, and will inevitably end up with spare parts for it that are more readily interchangeable.
With all of that, I think I'm most biased towards the SCX10, but would love to hear pros and cons of the various options above.
