Not any right out of the box, you'll have to get a TXT - TLT-01 - or if you cant get one get a Twin Force and four link it. Most of the trucks I just said are good but you will have to work on them (mostly gearing) to get them to flex and crawl well. But I think the TXT is gas right ? You would have to put an electric motor in it to do any good slow crawling.

go to www.rccrawler.com and visit the forums. They have tutorials on how to 4-link a truck and such.

Orange Appeal-TXT-1 have dual electricmotors hooked up to a tranny.
Samtron-To get more articulation out of a TXT you can remove the canties & connect Maxx shocks from the axles to the frame & lengthen the wheelbase. All you need to lengthen the wheelbase is 1/4" aluminum rod, 6-32 threaded rod, and rod end links.
Have any other questions feel free to ask.
