whats the big difference???
 
Can somebody tell me the big difference between the
Tamiya RockBuster and the MaxClimber?
I mean, they sound almost identical
but the MaxClimber is almost 60 bucks higher.
And the MaxClimber is so hard to find.
Thanks DC

From what I understand there really is no difference other than the body.... get the cheaper one since you will end up scrapping all but the axles eventually. Also, I believe the maxclimber has been discontinued.

EBAY is the easiest place

The difference is the body and the battery holder, I believe early on there was another difference (tranny quality?) but the rockbuster was updated to max climber specs in that area.

I belive the max climber is made to use a regular stick pack, and the rockbuster uses a special battery, i just but the rockbuster because all i needed was the axles, so i just went witht the cheaper of the two.
