Default Ax10 or Stealth or Spider Crawler

I need a little advise. I currently have in the box unopened a Ax10 Scorprion that I bought today, however I found some other kits that look pretty good since then now I cant make up my mind. I would like to hear from someone who has had allot of experiance with them and can tell me what would be the best in quality and performance. I am looking at two other kits the Stealth and the Spider the web site is gmade.net what do you think ?

If your AX 10 is the kit, I would stay with it. Good out of the box and a wealth of after market suuport and build info. You really can't go wrong.

Thank you for your replies, I am in Vancouver Canada and we don"t have allot of people who crawl but we do have some amazing places to. So does the AX10 crawl as well as the Spider? I understand the Ax10 would be allot cheaper than the Spider but the Spider looks like it can do some extreme climbing, I guess because it is 1/8th scale. Does this matter ? For the Ax10 I have the conversion for R.W steering and will be using the Novak Crawler for power (should I decide to open the box) I just really want to have a upgradeable and good rig. If you had a choice to buy the Spider, Ax10 or Stealth for $250.00 bucks what would you buy ? Also if you live in Vancouver and looking for a crawling buddy let me know.

If you are talking about the G-Made Spider and Stealth, they are over $450. I would just stay with the AX10.

Hi, I can get one in my hands for less than $400.00 US. My question is, would it be worth it ? it does not have rear wheel steering but is that make a diff? Also I have a Schulze U-Force 75, could I use this with a Novak Crawler or Axi crawler, does the esc have to be a special one or will this work, it comes with a RS32 cable and can be programmed in dos

$400 isn't a bad deal for the spyder, but you could have an unbelievable crawler with the AX-10, putting some upgrades with it. I've found that many performance upgrades on the AX-10 don't cost much, some involve just a little time and elbow grease, moving links, relocating battery locations...stuff like that. That would be my suggestion. What ever way you decide, have fun and good luck.
