Pretty much the same week that I broke into nitro power(HPI Savage 25 w/Mach 28), I also got hooked on crawling after I used a friend's Axial Wraith and SCX-10 JK.
So, yesterday I found myself a great deal(traded for some stock Jeep parts) on an Axial SCX-10 Trail Honcho with a '60s to early'70s Ford Bronco body on it.
It's (ugly)red and black, and it's set up for a crawling newb.
It has an Axial 27 turn brushed motor, a Traxxas XL-5 ESC, LED head/running/tail lights, and alloy control arms.
I had to provide my own radio(HPI/Futaba from the Savage) and I have to use my 3300mah NiMH packs for now, since I just upgraded to NiMH from NiCd after 30 years.....
I used a partly charged battery pack in it today and got about 45 min of run time out of it with the LEDs running the whole time.
I am going to save up and buy myself a couple of 2.4Ghz radios for the Savage and SCX-10 in the near future.
I haven't decided if I want to buy the JK Wrangler body, or the Jeep Cherokee body for it, but it will definitely be sporting a Jeep body(I really wish someone made a ZJ body so I can make a 1/10th scale clone of my ZJ).
I'll post some pics tomorrow if the sun shines!
My phone only takes good pics in direct sunlight....
