OK, it's getting close to that time. I need an injection of life into my RC. And I'm thinking a crawler will be the next step. I've narrowed it down to 2 rigs and I just need to know what you all think.
1. The Axial ARTR. That's an obvious choice with the popularity and all the aftermarket support. I figure it's a no-brainer.
2. The Venom Creeper. Of all the other somewhat budget rides, this one looks the best to me. But I also know it's been in the public for less than a month and I haven't read any reviews on it yet. So what's the consensus in the crawler community? Is it good? Does it have good parts support? One thing I like is the remote locking diffs. From what I understand, that can give much more flexibility and adaptability as you move from obstacle to obstacle. But I'm wondering if it works in the real world.
I'm already checked out on the radio. I'm going to use my JR XR3i as I have an extra memory and a receiver ready. I could use some advice on what would be good electronics otherwise. Honestly, yes, I'm on a budget. And a quite tight one at that. I just need some good lines on a motor, ESC and servos that will work well but not break the bank. I assume I can use a standard servo and do ok. And I probably have a few lying around in my boxes. So if that'll work, then I'm set.
Let me know what you guys think.
