First Crawler
Which would be a good investment for a cheap, all terrain crawler? Budget is the main limiter here as I am tight on money. I am thinking at the moment towards the TLT -1 but would prefer something larger wither more beef to it. How does the TLT-1 handle outside doing proper crawling? I would have thought it's size would limit it to indoor fun.

RE: First Crawler
true, but i was planning on getting a Super Clod Buster (£195) and get electronics. Assemble it and keep it stock for long enough for me to raise enough money to get a custom chassis for it. This is my plan all though it probably wont work. It'll probably work out at getting a bog standard clod and keeping it stock, hopefully modding it to give it more articulation (The clod is notoriously bad for that). Do you have any pics of just the clod chassis without that stupid body on? Thanks alot.

ok but its plastic, and the only reason the clod is used for rockcrawling, is the axles, everything else is pure bull flop, and the axles are sooo good becuase the motors are on the axles, no need for drive shafts to get cought on the rocks

RE: First Crawler
Exactly.
The clod is a good MT in stock not great but no crawler. Anyone who says they have a clod crawler means they are using clod axels. Nothing else from the clod. That's why the axels are $150 and the whole truck is only $200.
