i would go with the ax10 kit thats what i did. i ordered it from tower and got it for 190 with free shipping. it says 15 hrs to build it but if you have any common sense in rc stuff you should have it done in a max of 7. i had it as a roller in 5 and wired all electronics the next day in about 2 hrs taking my time. and its a really good crawler stock if you ask me esp if your just starting out. im running a mamba max with a old monster max 27turn brushed motor has wicked low end control and torque and good wheel speed for mudding and trail stuff. im going to go to a holmes hobbies outrunner soon tho. the only upgrades i really suggest are mip c shafts for the tranny to diff shafts because the stock u joints are pretty weak,you get in a little bind and you see the shaft hit the ground. i would also out of the box go to a 4 link in the rear upper links. it really helps eliminate the torque twist. and get the bent lower links for the front and rear for a little more clearance. and get a custom split 8 cell pack and put it on the front axle for better weight up front and a lower cg. i have about 20 oz of weight in each front wheel and i run the battery on a custom alum mount high up on the rear axle for when i go mudding.
