If it's the VP Hurtz dig unit, that's a better dig unit I think. The ESC is also nicer; does 3S lipo. 35T motor is more versatile than the 55T.

I agree. Crawler #2 sounds like the better of the two choices. Panther tires are really good, Vanquish products are great and I've personally had many problems in the past with Novak systems. Tekin is supposed to be really good in a crawler. Plus, the extra wheel speed from a 35t motor will help you get through/over tough obstacles, especially if you can run 3s LiPo.

Good Luck!
