scale truck, climbs really good with the right tires


comp style


as far as cost, $350 will get you a RTR truck, but you will still need batteries and a charger, unless you cheap out and get a exceed brand crawler. dont go the cheap way, you wont like crawling long if your truck is always broke and your waiting for parts to ship.
good options are
ugly body though

keep in mind that even though you dont want a kit, most of the time a kit comes with upgraded parts that a RTR wont have. you will find that most of the time you end up breaking and upgrading to the option parts that come with the kit
