Do you have a link to the crawler? I would stay away from anything that you can't get parts for at your LHS.

The only RC related items I could find on e-bay were some 1/10 and 1/16 buggies and a handfull of replacement parts. I'd wager it'll be harder to get replacements for than even a redcat/himoto/exceed.

That rig was ripped a new A-hole on RCC for basically "stealing" all the ideas from another semi-well known RC company that makes scale frames. Consensus on RCC was that it is a pile! Our friend that used to frequent this site(no names mentioned) was banned from their walk-in store in the Bay Area for making comments on the board after he visited them and saw this Truck....Its an ugly thread, but i'll get you the link.....lol

It is funny that people get so heated about copies of other peoples stuff, but they will still run a glow motor that is a ripoff from Duke Foxes original designs, any glow motor, glow plug is a rip off of Fox and they still run those, but complain about coupes.

Ah yes, the classic justification though made up hypocrisy excuse. Pretty much like saying the wheels on your car are a rip-off from the guy who invented the wheel, and anyone who uses those is a hypocrite for being opposed to knock-off products. It's one thing to imitate someone else's design or invention, but copying it exactly how it is, I see as being more like a form of plagiarism.
