"BEGINNER" NEEDS YOUR HEPL ????
HEY GUYS
I want to get my son (8) a entry level crawler.I sent out a post and read a bunch of others,thank you for all your input. So far I came up with 3 units to chose from,unless you guys know different?
1. Losi mini crawler
2. Rockslide RS-10
3. Dura Trax cliff climber
foot notes- The hobby shop said the losi mini was the way to go,it crawled a lot slower or better than the cliff climber.I seen the video of the RS-10 and it looks like it does a great job. Could you guy's give me your input on each truck???? What brakes on these things and how easily can I get parts ????One other thingI have two new battery packs that fit the cliff climber( 6 cell) can i fab then into the other two trucks as back up for later?Ilike the SCX10 and the CR01 ,but a little pricey for a entry level,maybe later if he wants to go to the next level.
Thank You for all your help

RE:
The only one of those three I've had is the Losi and it is a very nice rig. Your best bet is probably to go with what your hobby shop supports. There's nothing worse that waiting for a week or more for parts to get you running again. [:@]
If I were going to buy a crawler for my sons (5 and 7) I would choose the Losi over the other two without a thought.

RE: RE:
Get the Losi MRC out of those 3.... or get the SCX10 TR for 100 more and you get a real nice trail setup......... the Losi MRC comes with 2.4 and a batt and charger, and is an awesome deal.............. I don't have one but they run good at comps, I've seen em go and I've seen em from stock to fully modded. great trucks..........

RE:
For an entry level, get the Rockslide!! Alot of the Axial parts fit it and for the price you cant go wrong. As for cheap parts mentioned above, I have a buddy that had his for about 3 months and runs the hell out of it without breaking anything!!!
