rock crawling
I'm new to RC and I'm looking for some help. I'm looking for a good rig that's set up stock for rock crawling (low gears)...or something that needs a few mods. Thanks

Casey is correct.
The TXT-1 would be great right out of the box.
The Clodbuster will require a cantilever chassis kit that will add 250+ to the price. But you will end up with a class A+ truck.
If you wanted Nitro look into the Mega Force by Kyosho, or the XTM nitro monster.
For rock crawling you want a solid axle setup first off. Independent suspensions (Tmaxx, Emaxx, Pirates, etc) are not good for a lot of suspension articulation.

Try this site for a GREAT Clod chassis.
