Anyone running one of these? How is the aftermarket support? Is there enough to make it a pretty decent and capable rig?
I want to enter the 1/10 area, but I dont want to spend a fortune. My first choice was a gladiator SCX10.3, but they are 519, plus charger and battery. By the time i do all of that, I am easily at 600$.
next I had thought of doing a TRX-4 sport (RTR or Kit). I like the Tan RTR, and the Kit would be fun because I like to build. But right now it appears Traxxas stuff is like finding gold at the moment. Not likely.
I also contemplated doing a SCX10.2 kit, and buying all the electronics, gladiator body, and so on, and no portal, and now a previous chassis model. By the time I do all of that, I am getting back up pretty high in price, and also there is no INSTANT gratification of getting out to play right away.
I have now stumbled across the RedCat Gen 8 Scout II in the green. I think that thing looks great, has portal axles and the price at 299 looks good. I also can get a discount on that as well. I love the looks of it, and that green looks amazing to me. Not sure on performance and support? Anyone have one? Thoughts?
I have also entertained the idea of the Axial Trail Honcho, just because it looks decent, and is priced at 329 for a RTR. Its the SCX10.2, but it doesnt have a lot of the upgrade parts the SCX10.2 kit has. Anyone have one of these? Thoughts?
Any help would be appreciated. i would mainly be doing just trails around town, but at the same time I want something capable at rock crawling if I ever want to comp or just get really technical.
