What kind of running are you wanting to do? If you plan on jumping it, double your budget on parts, this is one small jump.

Check CL and apps like 5 miles or offerup etc

 

I plan to get a 4x4 crawler. Fast is fun but crawling is more funner! haha. I had fun with Jims Deadbolt so i have been looking at those, also the wrath but its $100 more but looks dope AF! Doesnt come with a driver though...

I have been on craigslist but i need to check offerup, and letgo....

 

the Wraith is badass and really capable, Brett has one. Its a 2.2 size so its larger than 1.9 like the SCX10, if i remember when I get home ill take a pic of my 1.9 next to my 2.2.

 

Yeah if i get one i will be making more trips to OHV parks to drive the RC crawler! Haha. It was a lot of fun but i feel like it would get old quick if i didnt have a variety of courses/features to play on.... which is probably why i would build a track at katy jackson trails to play on! My mind is already going crazy with features to build!

@Silverspool do you know anything about the RR10 Bomber? I feel like these are meant more for speed and less for crawling. The SCX10 Deadbolt didnt feel like it was crazy fast but had the torque needed to crawl... I feel like the Rock Racer rigs would be to fast and harder to crawl.

 

the bomber is a 2.2 size also, its a dual soild axle rock racer, if you have finesse on the throttle you can climb well with it. The Yeti is an IFS/Solid Axle rock racer.. handles better at speed but doesnt crawl as well.

If you want something that can crawl decent and go somewhat fast, go dual solid axle. If you want fast, go dual independent suspension, if you want a compromise, IFS/Solid axle.

 

I fell like i should go with a 1/10 scale so that i can get a bit more out of the battery, and its a bit easier to pack... But bigger is better, especially in texas!

 

2.2 or 1.9 are both 10th scaleBut the 2.2 models are definitely bigger

 

Does it make a noticeable difference in battery life?

 

Fast is even more fun at the race track!!

 

Not really it’s more a less how fast you drive it and what type of electronics are in it if you go full throttle even a good size battery might only last 10 to 20 minutes crawling you can get 30 minutes to maybe a couple of hours

 

@Silverspool Looks like this place is still closed.


I'd like to suggest.

It has a big round about and some grills. Everytime I have been there its been pretty light on traffic.

 

@Zac of all trades here is a 1.9 wheel with 4.6 inch tire (scx10) next to a 2.2 wheel and 5.5 inch tire (Yeti, Bomber, Wraith), both 1/10th scale, and an upgraded 2.2 wheel with 5.8 inch tire.

 

define small jump... cause i have sent mine over a house and its been fine...

 

You childish people need to fix up your real non-scale trucks.

 

It takes more money for non scale size upgrades.

 

It's ok, you and your beard can ride with me.

 

Thats a big difference!

 

Don't know what you are talking about... $500 for an RC car setup... $500 can go towards some good truck parts...

FIFY
