[weeds]

i'm sure I started a thread ages ago on the topic.......

anyways i'm getting close to making a purchase, both below have local stores and spares seem available

my budget let me towards this rig

but I found this which I believe would be a better rig

OK the dingo is a kit...so that's out ATM. just chasing something I can pull out of the box and start using to see if I get the bug

Axial Wraith is supposedly an awesome out of the box kit. send Grimace a PM. He has one (may be over budget actually sorry)

yeah not quite in my budget........

umm, the HBX seems to be in my price bracket..........I wonder if I should really look at SCX10

I have a crawler, a scaler and a slash 4x4. I would highly recomend an axial rtr kit for a beginner. Easy to setup, plenty of parts available and capable in stock form. It is definately worth the extra $$$

1.9 and 2.2 relates to the wheel size. 1.9 is scale generally.

You may be able to pick up a second handy from a forum like
thecrawlpit.com • Index page (http://www.thecrawlpit.com/index.php)

Be warned it is very addictive!

I made a custom tray and winch bar for my defender 90 scaler when I was recovering from my knee reco. They are great for passing the time when camping.
