Default Best mini for newbie?

Hello,

I want to get a mini crawling rig soon but can't decide what to get. I want something about 1/18. The two I'm stearing toward are the TLT and VMG, although I see others like mini quake, mini zilla, etc. I'm looking for something upgradable when my skills progress but also has to be fun with decent climbing ability with basic setup. Also, I only own a mini-t so I don't have any experience with 4x4 crawlers. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I'd go with the TLT, mainly because it is solid axle & is a great crawler when upgraded.

What about PTI's new truck the Goliath, it seems like it would make a pretty good crawler, and its 1/18 i belive

Where can you buy one of these PTI Goliaths? They look awesome but I can't find any sites selling. Thanks!

I been following them for a couple months now and it seems like supplies are limted because pti is a small company. They are on tower backordered i think.... Go to One18th.com (they also sell them but i dont think they have any in stock), They have a whole forum dedicated to the Goliath, go check it out.
