cheapo crawlers

Hey blokes , as a few know ive got an AX10 which has had soo much use its still new ( shelf queen sarcasm ) .

Im thinking of flogging it off on ebay this week to buy 1 of these :

I know the hardcore blokes here would probably call me an idiot but im not into competition , im not into thrashing it and to be honest with you it will probably be lucky if it gets used for more than an hour a year .

I just like the size of it and looks of it over the AX10 .

Whats the thoughts on this thing .

[BIG PETE]

keep the AX10 mate i have looked at those big ones not very well made

Plastic Fantastic, although with the lack of use you might just get it past its warranty period before it breaks. http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Ewestern4x4/029.gif

Maybe!!!

It will still break just sitting on the shelf lol. Dont do it adam.

[remotebandit]

a real crawler, all blinged and big.

serious shelf queen 4 sure.

if i had a shelf big enough for it, . . . . well, i'd probably sell the shelf!:rolleyes:

[remotebandit]

dont have to put it on there either ... i can drive the bastard onto the top shelf

I dunno , i just find the AX10 small and when i saw this 1:8 it looked like it meant business and if we can look past the made in China issues , theres quiet a few great Youtube vids of it and it does do some great things .

[BIG PETE]

they not as good as the 1/10

[remotebandit]

I was looking at the 1 you linked there Obz .

Looks awesome but its coming from Dubai so i got no bargaining power .

[remotebandit]

Sorry for the blokes who are bagging me but i picked up this 1:8 crawler today from 1 of the local hobby shops ( only $60 difference from online so can justify keeping the local bloke in business ) and im sorry guys but its excellent ... for what i want it to do anyway .

Obviously the Axial was a better build and 1 motor is better than seperate motors as it keeps constant 4wd happening but for the sheer size of this beast it just does so much and more .

The boys today were in dis belief ( as was i ) when this thing walked up stairs with no issues , when it actually was able to sit itself on a 10 liter paint drum and go off the other side .

Worth every cent to me .

Yes i take your stance on " its not an Axial " but have you actually had 1 of these in your hands before . I wasnt expecting the performance it has , in fact i even expected touch rubber/ plasticky wheels but yet they are grippy as

[obzELiTe]

video or ban :P

[remotebandit]

will do tomorrow .. lol

[SuperRoo]

Its a MOA (Motor On Axle) so it will do more than a shafty will any day.

[remotebandit]

Here you go boys .

Its a VERY VERY rushed clip while the misses wasnt home of it going up the stairs but as you can see it didnt struggle what so ever . As great as the Axial was it was too small to do this hence why i wanted a 1:8

The video is by no means showing its full ability as once again it was a 10 second job and i also appologise for the TERRIBLE video quality but try getting a little kid to take a video is impossible
