    Default thinking about getting a scaler but which one.

    I have been looking at Scalers for awhile and figured that it will be "cheaper" to run then the Savage or another rig because of the speed. I have been looking at the RC4WD Trailfinder 2 and the Axial SCX10. I know the SCX10 has more aftermarket support but to me the Trailfinder looks better with the realism of everything. They are relatively close in price. I have all the electronics already if I go BL but I plan on running a XL-5 and Titan.

    I love my scx10. Parts are easy to get and easy to upgrade. I built the honcho kit version a few years ago back when they had the honcho kit. I have beat, submersed, and tumbled down some pretty hardcore steep rocky mountain trails for almost 3years and the only things I have broken are the plastic drive shafts, and one body. I have five trucks and my honcho will always be one of my favorites.

    Both are solid rigs, but for a first time crawler I would go with the SCX10. It is a more solid rig and works better then the TF2 with its leaf sprung suspension.

    well personally i would recommend the scx10 simply because of its strength. those axial trucks are absolutely tough as nails, and look darn good too. They're great starters for anyone looking to get into scale crawling because they are very easy to work on and like you said, there's so much aftermarket for them. So the scx10 gets my vote. -Wes

    I would go with the scx10 also.I got a dingo and love it.I don't drive it alot since i'm the only with a scaler in my crew which is why its not drove much,but when I do take it out I stress test the limits of it.
