I think the 1/18 is the better choice. It's smaller, more capable, and durable. Just my opinion.

i'd say the 1/6 b/c it has the digital propotional steering and throtle control. and has a nice size to weight ratio.
it also handle any kind of terrain u put it through. i just got back from the beach and took my 1/6 and 1/18 and the 1/18
didn't do too well in the loose sand as the 1/6 did. tires on the 1/6 are much softer to mold to the terrain easier.
i like them both and own both but when it comes to crawling and stuff i'd say the 1/6 b/c u can creep it along and the 1/18 is all or nothing on the throttle. .
there are some 1/6 jeeps on sale here for $50. . i live in atlanta.

The 1/6 scale are very capable for what they are. Unfortunate because of their weight, they are prone to parts failure and breakage. It is true that the 1/6 scale will crawl larger obstacles than the 1/18 due to it's increased size. And the 1/6 does have a more proportional steering set up.

All that said, I'll still take the 1/18 scale. I own both and the 1/18 is just more fun IMO.

I have both and like the 1/18 for indoors, but I like the 1/6 much better. Mine did drop about 2 pounds or so.
