Right. First things first. What HAVE you got? what don't you have?? If you want a crawler then you need some axles of some sort. The clodbuster ones are pretty popular. Then either make your own chssis or buy one. Loads of different ones available on the net
a few sites you might want to visit;
http://www.clodparts.com/
http://www.cool.per.sg/bloodclod/crawler/index.html
http://www.beatyourtruck.com/rides-MT.html
This will give you a good start. Don't despair, there are kids your age with no money who built some impressive rigs, so you don't really need money, just the right resources!!
Anyway, here's my crawler(on e-bay now....[&o])
Good luck and let us know if you need to know any more!!!
ps. try punctuations in your posts, it is amazing how well that actually works!!!!

one more thing. Crawlers aren't fast, it's in the name!!!! they CRAWL!!! they are not built for speed but have loads of torque . If you want to do jumps and race or bash about, you might want to reconsider getting a crawler, because if speed is what you are after, then don't bother getting a crawler. I will pobably get flamed for this but that is my view on it
Just my 2 cents..............

you could use someting other than the stock motors, maybe a type of racing motor, but you will have to gear it right.
