Get the Crawler. But if you like super realistic and bounces like crazy and has the cool three speed - get the Hilux. If you really want to crawl - stay with the Land Cruiser.

Yea the Land Cruiser is by far the better crawler. The Hilux is meant for scale looks, not performance.

If you want a rock crawlers go with the Land Cruiser 40, it will out handle the Hilift. If you want a Realistic rc got with the Hilift.
Either way I'd go with the Land Cruisr 40.

Technically, the HiLux does perform better "off road" - it's better suited for higher speed running on surfaces such as dirt, gravel, mixed, and trail running.

The Land Cruiser is more for "extreme" off road, rather rock crawling - it has a geared down transmission for crawling and is meant to go over rocks, so if you try to bash with it on dirt or gravel, or something of that like, then it will get old relatively fast for most people.
