whats a good rock crawler
I am going to get into rock crawling. I have been running rc cars for some time. I was woundering what the best crawler is for cheap under $200. I want to put all the parts in my self so a kit would be fun.

if your just messing around and having fun get oone of axials kits, all of them are good, but if you want to get into rock crawling competions then go for the losi comp crawler

if you get a regular crawler-comp crawler,axial,venom you are mostly overmatched at most comps. a better buy though more money is a moa (motor on axle) such as the bully dog from rc4wd.com, crawl anywhere, anytime in any 2.2 class.
