Differences Between the AX10 & RTR Kits

Ready to Run (RTR)

• A ready-to-run (RTR) vehicle comes fully assembled and ready to drive straight out of the box. These kits include all of the components necessary for driving your vehicle, including a battery, a charger, the truck, a radio system and the tools necessary for maintaining it all. RTRs are great for beginners who may not feel comfortable assembling the complex chassis, and they also provide a great introductory course in RC by including everything you need to get going.

Unassembled Kit

• The unassembled AX10 Scorpion kit is essentially a box of parts that require you to put together by hand. The kit only includes the components of the vehicle chassis, which is the physical body of the truck. In other words, the unassembled kit doesn't include the electronics necessary for driving your vehicle. Purchasing a kit offers more versatility in the components you put into your truck, but it may cost you a great deal more than the RTR kit.

Electronics

• Any electric vehicle requires certain components for correct functionality. This list includes a radio transmitter and receiver, a steering servo, an Electronic Speed Control (ESC), a motor, a battery and a battery charger. All of these items need to be individually purchased when you get an unassembled kit, whereas an RTR kit includes everything preassembled and installed.

Knowledge

• RTR kits include stock parts in the vehicle, whereas unassembled kits may provide high-performance parts at a comparable price to the RTR. Buying an RTR may limit your knowledge of the vehicle, which will be a detriment when it comes time to repair or modify your truck. If you go with an unassembled kit, you will learn every square inch of your truck, providing you an extensive understanding of the chassis, which is invaluable when making repairs and upgrades.
