~~ Click HERE to see the truck ~~ I'm thinking of getting one of these - they look decent - any comments? Any recommendations for motor, ESC, radio, battery, BEC, servo, skid plate, or anything else? The manufacturer recommends using the Tamiya Jeep Body - not wild about that body but maybe something else could work as well - Bronco? Thanks |

Wouldn't the Bruiser have a much lower amount of articulation, thus poor crawling performance? |

So . . . if you were going to fork over $500 or $600 +/- for a "decent" scale crawler, what would you recommend? (just the roller) Also, I'd like something I could get wet without having to worry about mud, water, whatever. Of course, I realize after crawl cleaning would be essential. Thanks |

So, maybe I should just improve my SCX w/upgrades instead? |

I've heard a few people call it the "problem finder" not sure why. Sticking with the scx10 is your best bet. |

nothing to get, just what I overheard at the photo shoot of kingcobra's hummer at Cochrans mill whenever that was, so ask them about the problems. It was their personal opinion not mine. I can't speak from experience, never had one of those chassis. |
