Greetings all

[toomanyhobbies]

I am fairly new to rc and completely new to rc crawling. I do not have a crawling rig yet, I am trying to do some reading and understand the different vehicles and what is entry/intermediate/competition class. I must admit I am more of rtr guy right now just because I like driving more than cursing about why &%$# something isn't working. :)

I will try to make it out to the comp tomorrow. I am feeling a little under the weather today but hopefully will be better tomorrow. I look forward to meeting everyone.

Welcome to the forum.

In RC Crawling rtrs are bashing/fun etc vehicles. The closest you can get to a rtr that can compete is the Losi Comp Crawler (or the Kyosho Rock Force).

But there is absolutely no reason that you can't buy a AX10 and see if you like crawling. When you start wanting to get serius, sell the AX10 and build what ever the hottest axles are at the time.

Welcome to the site.

Thanks everyone. I just watched a video of the comp at bull hole. WOW, that was an eye opener. Before I had just seen general rock crawling vids on youtube. Watching the bull hole comp I can definitely see benefits of the higher end gear. Do people with beginner setups go through the same course or is there a "bunny slope" course?

Just curious, I see a lot of posts about axials but it seems like they have many different versions. Are most people using the new rtc version or older ones? http://axialracing.com/wordpress/2009/04/15/april-2009-product-release/

hey

The axial was the hot truck 1.5 years ago and is absolutely a great place to start. (and the most afordable way to get into a 1/10th)

It does not mater what version you start with, after you add a chassis of your choice and upgrade the tranny, they can al do equally well.

If you want to be serious about competing, come to a comp before your buy something.

(I think everyone on here owns an AX10 or has owned one)
