amellor03 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Hey! Long time member but I’ve been out of the hobby for the last +5 years. I was big into scalers back then but the scx10 2 had only just been released! I’m thinking about getting back into it and buying a rock crawler specific rig either moa or shafty when I was last into it you either bought a xr10 (rare then!) enroute berg (rare!) or rc4wd bully 2 ( big bucks) or bought a cheap ax10 roller or axles to build a shafty/sporty class. What’s the best options now? Anything budget that’s good to modify? I was big into modifying and custom modifying before. again no scalers of any kind.

wombat Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Hi, depending on budget, you could build up an injora rock buggy, ( which is the route i have just taken ), or anything by axial, element , gmade. They all make good crawlers, in rtr or kit form, with plenty of scope for custom modifying 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Welcome back, Injora rock buggy is a good starting point but needs lots of mods to get it in sweet zone, i did mine and now rarely use it, but when i do its pretty darn capable, not much about for MOA, also depends if you want 1/10th or smaller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amellor03 Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 I’ve been looking at the injora rock buggy and the unbranded one on eBay that’s £100! from what I’ve seen it’s an axial base with scx10 ii copy axles and gearbox? Looks like it could fit the bill for making a super capable budget rig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 If you check Aliexpress there are some good deals for the Injora rock buggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amellor03 Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 £75 without wheels 😂 I can see a custom wide axle high steering setup coming on it’s crazy all the parts that are now available and for peanuts! Scx10 ii universal joints for £10-20! I was importing xr10 universals for my builds at +£45 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure comp crawlers Hey man, great to hear whispers of the icons of crawling!... I have one rig with the best of both worlds - XR10 axles with a Bully2 body! I believe there should be a post on it here somewhere.. As to the now... There are as you'd expect quite a few different options but nothing I know of that is dirt cheap. In terms of MOA really the Bully2 is the most economic entry option - If you can afford it then buy the kit and add your own electronics... Besides that the other best option is to look out for second hand rigs - don't come up often but are around, there's a few Face Book UK based pages where you can ask. The only other thing to consider perhaps is a Sporty / Shafty comp crawler instead - so 1 motor on the skid and shaft driven... These are a lot cheaper to access at the starter stages certainly...
