If you want cool looking stuff check out Rc4wd...But they aren't that strong, so even though they look real pruddy and scale like....you will brake them.

Axial ax/scx are the cheapest 'scale' axial around that most use & with the right upgrades, are bomb-proof. The downside to Axial's is they are a bit wide so they limit your body choice.

If you're going for a small style body have a look at Losi Mini Rock Crawler axles (they have their weak spots, and limits due to size) or even old school Tamiya TLT-1 axles (stronger that MRC, but harder to get these days...and still have their weak points).

My suggestion is get your body & chassis together first and then decide based on width & weight what axles to use.
That and hit up google.

body choice for me is not high priority.. as im gonna be customizing to a tow vehicle..
maybe a working flat bed at this stage

function over form (kind sorta)

poor bugger got robbed on christmas day..

anyway back on topic..

it doesnt have to be exact replica or anything..
thanks again wideload
