Cheap, but good electric crawler?
I was looking into buying a cheap, but good electric crawler. Xmods are getting kind of old and I want something bigger to mess with. I can spend about $250 max on it. Any suggestions would be nice. I've seen thse, http://cgi.ebay.com/Tamiya-58397-RC-...QQcmdZViewItem but i don't know how much they run.

The highleft is not cheap...
Are you looking for something good or a trail rig?

You're going to be spending $500+, I garentee you with the price of my life.
Most crawlers your purchase anywhere is a "roller" chassis. This means there are no electronics what so ever. So now you as the consumer have to go out and purchase the TX/RX/ESC/Servos/Batteries and whatever else you see fit. Tamiya High Lift is one of the best trail rigs out there, however. So at least you have good taste. ========================== If you're looking for cheap just go with an offroad type RC. A crawler will bust your balls and pockets, everything tends to break eventually due to torque.

ya but the price on tlts are going up really high since they stoped makeing them so if you are going to get one get it soon before the price goes up alot more and with the tlt you are going to have to do some custom fabbing unless you have money for parts but, the tlt is one of the strongest trucks you will ever build or drive.

+1 but only if you can find one! TLT-1s have been discontinued... I think Tamiya brought them back for a short while, though.
It may be discontinued, but the aftermarket for 'em is huge! They've got amazing potential, and the kit should only run you about $100! I know, I bought mine brand new before they were discontinued at my LHS for about $125 (with tax) |

Don't even think their that much, and now come in 4wd

personally i have been racing 1/10 and 1/8 for a while and idk about rock crawling but tamiya is not very 'high class' stuff...
- make one...what the worst thing that can happen. if you break a part you can get the that exact part on the spot instead of searching out the # to the part in a kit and what not..or buy parts in doubles. - theres alot of possibilities...in the end its gunna be your car. |

Here is a budget-build trail rig:
