Default 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 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.

For a beginner crawler under $200, I would suggest the Venom Creeper.
