I have one of each scx24 versions. They are all actually very different. The c10 has smaller diameter tires, but tends to have more grip on smoother inclines. The con is it has a lot of tire rub out of the box. The Jeep is probably the most well rounded and predictable out of the box, sharing the same chassis (suspension links) setup as the c10, but with the larger tires. The deadbolt can be had for $89.99 right now at most hobby shops, and is by far the most capable out of the box, but it suffers from being slightly front heavy, which can make it unpredictable. This is due to the suspension link layout. The deadbolt has shorter front links, and longer rear links than the Jeep and C10. Over all, all three can be a blast. If you can buy one of each, you should. If not, I recommend the Jeep for best overall. Also, I have never seen a 2 hour charge time. Most I have seen is 45 minutes with the cheap included usb charger, and 56 minutes with my dynamite passport p1 mini doing a full balance charge at .3amp.

I'm new to crawling, and loved that the SCX24 comes with everything you need right out of the box, including transmitter batteries and at least some charge on the main battery. I drove it around for a good while right out of the box. I have had issues with tire rub when doing wheel upgrades or longer axles, but a cheap fix is to stretch the shock springs to about double, which also makes it not so bouncy. I also love being able to customize things, so that makes the SCX24 a clear winner in my book.

Right now there are some upgrades and mods for the mini z like new electronics, a brushless motor, and other weight stuff. The good thing about these mods is that they allow the use of lipo batteries cuz of the change of the esc. I haven't been able to run mine yet cuz I'm waiting for new shipment of parts :) .

it was a close choice of scx24 and tetra for my first micro crawler. the failure of modulation and aftermarket support made the scx decision an easy one. just wish axial come up with an oil shock to install as a hop up.

They are great trail trucks but definitely no where near a scx24s performance I actually have both to. 👍 You can also get after market wheels and tires for all the 1/24th scales just search for Rc4wd 1” tires. 👊🙂
