best rock truck?
My younger brother in law is about to grad from high school and his fam, and I are looking into getting him a rc truck as a gift.. He lives in mountians area so a rock climbing truck would be best..
I was wondering what everyone thought the best rock climbing truck would be... Where in the 250-300 dollar range. Thank you

stock of course its ugly but modify it and it becomes a work of art.
And yes they still make parts for the clod
I still think a tlt-1 would be the way to go

If u do go nitro the XTM X-factor is the absolute best rock cralwer stock there is.

nitro and rock crawling don't really mix well.Nitro motors cant reach the high rpms as fast as a electric motor making it alot harder and not as pleasing while crawling.
