I thought I had my mind made up BUT - then I saw the TRX4 Sport- it's like 40 bucks more But it has things the Deadbolt needs (i.e. metak links etc.) BUT I really like Axial products- I have an old AX10. And I really like the Deadbolt body- So those are my choices- any opinions please?
 
I have a TRX4 and just bought a capra. I use both in competition. if you want scale the TRX has 2 speed ,locking diffs and portal axles. If you want to rock crawl a capra has portal axles, dig function and is more capable on rocks than SCX.
 
I already have a "buggy" (old AX10) and the "sport" looks good (looks can be deceiving?) The Axiel III I believe is gonna be more than I could justify, I'm not much of a competition guy these days- Thanks for the replies-

This is the cross RC dually that I built. If you're looking for scale and realism this is definitely one way to go
 
Wow that is impressive- nice scale and apparently very capable- Thanks

I would definitely go with the trx4 sport I just got it and love it! I bet either would be great though!
 
After all my research- I think the SPORT kit is gonna be the one for me. I really liked the Deadbolt because it reminded me of my 1967 IH Scout- But that TRX4 just seems to be the better one- I guess I'll see- Thanks for the response
 
I just saw that- it's come down in price- it was over 300 bucks there for a while- can you imagine that?
 
I have a trx4 sport. It’s my 1st crawler . So I can’t compare to others. So far I really like it. Climbs stuff that I didn’t think was possible. it completely stock. I’ve got lots of hours on it. So far so good !
