Buy a clod on ebay, and mod it as you get more cash. The nylints aren't hobby grade and shouldnt be treated as so. Dont expect great things from them. Dont get me wrong though, they are capable crawlers for somebody who wants a toy to play with, they aren't hobby grade though.

they are toys and he is right, you are not a newb so you shouldnt play with a begginsers walmart car, they arent very capable unless you have alot of time and patience but they are good begginner cars, 150 isnt going to get you a long way, unless your willing to do some serious milling and fabrication combinging those three cars isnt goign to get you anything but a mess,

your best bet is to sell them off and buy something finished since you are new to crawling, or hell you could even build one but tis not going to be less than 300 rtr, min eis on ebay right now, link is coming,
